I really don't understand why everyone these days is accusing each other of presenting fiction as fact. I thought everything on here is opinion. I am NOT presenting facts. Even if Curle or Ricky told me these things, they could be lying. Grow a pair.
Oh dear oh dear. And there was me thinking when you said "Conversely, Curle doesn't want anyone in his camp who speaks his mind so Holmes has been set free", that you actually based that on fact, or a genuine insight into the situation. That makes it so much easier for us all to ignore you going forwards.
