on the surface, awful. But I still need to know more about what sort of friendship/relationship they have before burning him at a stake. -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 9, 12:42 6
- While this is very true, it doesn't really matter. If it were overheard by someone else then that person could file the complaint. - sycor Mar 9, 12:50 3
  - I've had to have a few sit-downs, over the last year, with people who were just being too awkward. Nothing wrong being said. A "Nice dress" from an - Flavorize Mar 9, 13:02

First part is okay with a change to That's a nice dress. The second part is just bad. - sycor Mar 9, 12:33
