These cat fights have been around in gaffa for as long as I have. I
still haven't seen anything to equal the "douse the bitch in petrol
and let her burn" days. Me, I'd prefer to see them get it out of their
systems. If I don't want to read it, I won't. Which doesn't mean to say
I don't.

How many people have posted to tell Jorn and Vickie to 'take it to
email'? Isn't that just a little bit hypocritical?
