Hi Eleanor

Thanks for this. I'm replying just to you to inform you that I've been 
contacted privately by another member of the list telling me that Angie is 
autistic and occasionally makes inappropriate comments like this. I have 
responded simply to say that I'm not happy when witnessing bullying as this was 
and that my email was measured and appropriate. When bullying occurs I believe 
it is right to speak out for both those being bullied and for the bully as 
silence can be seen as acceptance of such behaviour. So thank you also for 
speaking up.

All the best from Dave
