That not what I heard.Somebody who was there at the time tells a different
story.But whether she was the building receptionist or MM receptionist is
irrelevant,She still had nothing to do with it.And whether she saw the
"funny"side to it later is also irrelevant.Wrong is wrong,Whether people
think it's funny or not
     I think you are getting the phrase"Free speech "confused.Free speech is
peoples right to say what they want,without fear of being persecuted.So Jaz
was well with-in his rights to counter-criticize the journalist,But to try
and physically harm her is not freedom of speech(To save you the bother of
contesting this and me replying,Ill save you the time and reply first)Jaz
aim was to put a curse on the person ,This would lead to harm on the
receiving person.And harming people is not speech is it.Apart from
Rangecroft does anyone else here revel in harming women

 PW
You know I make sense
