Gobsmacked, I've not read such a tirade of bile and drivel for ages. Of course it could be meant ironically, but I thought we British we meant to understand irony. Did the bars shut early in Baltimore this weekend? Perhaps if Gary knew what Steve actually did for a living he'd apologise, probably not. Steve Apologize? For what? Most violent and disturbed people usually start young with cruelty to animals, and then ratchet up their depravity to people. As for the medical profession, it is very likely that Jack the Ripper (to use a British example) had medical training, so that profession does not provide any claim on moral superiority. We're the most violent to our own of any animal species on the planet and pumping up deflated human egos by engaging in real or fantasized cruelty on animals and to other beings not capable of mounting a defense is the purview of the truly weak and depraved. I hold to the simple philosophy of an American president, John F. Kennedy, who said you're either part of the solution or part of the problem. With their juvenile attempts at humor one thing is certain, Barbour and Colen sure as hell are not a part of the solution.
