ED, At the risk of sounding really dense (it's also 05.50am in Japan - that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it), but I honestly have no idea if you're referring to me or people in general when you say "blame" and "praise". Have I written, or inferred, some kind of blame on someone for something they said/did and does it come across in my writing that I'm praising myself or someone else?
