Hi,

>No, Viv, I don't think we do have to accept this ... as such behaviour is totally unacceptable in this day and age

Hmmm. Your statement is incorrect (or at least incomplete). Try:
"I don't think we do have to accept this ... as such behaviour is totally unacceptable to our culture in this day and age"

But now I'll immediately agree to being completely wrong on this because I can't stand arguments over idealogies <g>

Best,
Viv
