There are a number of issues I would like to raise:
1. If I had been in that house for weeks on end I would miss my cats and, if I was feeling vulnerable that day, I might have been upset by the comment. Therefore I can see how some fms take issue with it.
2. Sophie doesn't appear to have been in that mindset when the remark was made and so if she's not upset then no harm done.
3. For all his faults I have never seen Marcus be deliberately cruel to another fm, especially not one he likes such as Sophie. Sure he's a bit prone to 'mouth going before brain engaged' sometimes and he effs and blinds about them in the diary room but that's just his 'act'.
4. Some fms really really need to learn how to cut quotes down to only what is necessary to reply to.
5. I'm sorry if all of the above is far too sensible for today's twitchy forum but that's the mood I'm in.
6. My cat brought me a bird as breakfast in bed this morning but I saved it and it flew off back to its bird home so hopefully that act of mercy to animals will cancel out any bad comments Marcus has said about dogs.
7. I have now run out of points.
Good set of points skive and I agree with every one of them - except I think you meant that Marcus has never been deliberately cruel to any HMs, (not FMs...)
