Sinister: Stand up for your love rights!

[Jason Andreas]

and as a kind of p.s. to the last mail,

Do you begrudge Brandt the right to seek some comfort from the difficulites
he was facing with his mum and stuff?

I seriously hope not.

Sorry if I'm being confrontational about this, but 'witless crap' seems a
bit nasty to me...
