I feel there is no reason whatsoever for anyone to question Olivers past especially here on this nostalgia board as this not a courtroom and he is entitled to keep his personal affairs (pun intended) to himself and, nobody has the right to openly be inquisite about such matters, nor should any other person be expected to commit any comment which in my opinion is of total irrelevance and extraneous in its entirety.
It is well to remember to be respectfully show restraint and really ought to remain mannerly not to pillory nor scrutinize any individule concerning their private matters, the nature of which they may, or may not want to be intimate about, so let us not intrude upon nor overstep the mark here. I am unhappy to have read in those news items which Oliver himself posted the link, otherwise I dislike the unwelcome attention presented towards him because of it, whither there is even the most slightest modicum of truth or substance in those news articles is irrelevant to me personally and I am saddened that unfortunatly has already been the case and i do not want to give any advocacy, right or wrong to those reports. I have emencly enjoyed all of Oliver's contributions which he entertains us all with his marvelous nostalgic memories of those precious days long gone by and we are very lucky to have had him share his fond memories of his life in and around castlebar and beyond with us to relish, and no doubt there are a good many of us who wisfully want to continue to read with great gusto, his every word. Thank you Oliver for the deliberations and of your time spent on entertaining me and all of your other loyal fans; please don't stop now because I shall remain a loyal fan of course despite all the brouhaha been bandied about!
