And later leads to the newspapers/tabloids picking up on what's going on in the blogosphere and starting to cash in on the excitement what then leads directly to the whole TRF disaster, where John tells Sherlock to keep a low profile.... ^^ Rather contradictory, imo.
Very true. Geez, John....
Perhaps he suffers from the same problem I do. I really honestly never see that telling the truth is an insult to anyone. I don't want to insult you when I just tell you that you have gained weight, I'm just stating a fact without any bad intentions whatsoever. I cannot for the life of me understand why someone would be insulted by facts. I personally am insulted when someone tells lies about me, not when what they are saying is true.
Good point. That's probably it. I used to be the same way when I was younger, actually. Then I eventually learned that some people don't like facts. Actually, these days, my strategy is usually "don't mention anything you notice to anybody, because they might not like it."
I'm sure Mrs Hudson wouldn't want an affair with a married man or at least she should know before she starts investing too much into the relationship. Same with Molly.
Again, I agree. I have to wonder sometimes if John isn't objecting to Sherlock telling them - but rather objecting to HOW he tells them. Sherlock is all about efficiency...so he's not one for the song and dance that usually accompanies having to tell someone bad news.
The only thing a victim is interested in is the result, I think. If you want someone to commiserate with you, there's other people, like friends and therapists, than your investigator.
Yes, exactly. Maybe bartenders have made everyone's jobs harder. ;)
