Gentlemen, gentlemen!
I hope not to be in that position, nailit, and hope you never do again as well. But let us not descend into a slanging match. It’s a question of opinion. Some people think decent people do not offend at all; others think there is no lack of decency about any offending. Some (most, probably) sit somewhere in between and prefer to take into account all the circumstances. Hopefully my explanation has illustrated that not all criminal offending need necessarily lack decency.
