I’ve had another YouTube comment, which was complimentary,
taken down. I’m losing count. Oddly, another comment I left on the same track
some months ago, which was also complimentary, has now been elevated to top
spot. It’s even had one like.
(Allow me to step out of season for a moment and paraphrase a line spoken, dewy-eyed, by Kathleen Harrison in the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol: ‘A like? For me?’)
Anyway, I suspect there’s a bit of cross-cultural misinterpretation going on here, and so I think I should take the lesson: If you’re talking to anybody who lives more than six streets away, keep your mouth shut. I won’t, of course. Perception is the whole of the life experience, and its pitfalls are there to be tolerated.
