You haven't established to my satisfaction that what these people did is a matter for public (Government) attention.

Chuckle, it's obvious from your fighting even to be drawn into the ring that you are fearful of an honest fight about this issue.

Merriam Webster, PUBLIC;" of, relating to, or affecting all the people or the whole area of a nation or state."

You obviously want to hide from how M/W defines public.

If you want to continue this discussion, give me the word we should use instead of 'public'.

I don't expect a reply, I know you'll lose this, the FR readers know that you'll lose this, and even you know, although you will be loath to admit it.

No I don't. What these people do doesn't affect me in the least. Therefore it's not public according to MW.

You lose.

There's no fight to be had. You think what goes on in the home of these people is your business and by extension a matter for the Government to do something.

I think anyone who thinks that way is a nanny-state busybody who shouldn't be trusted with a pair of scissors, let alone the power of Government.
