The 'high horses' comment is referring to
the trend in this thread to jump to the obvious moral high ground on the basis of what is hopefully a typo. I naturally give people the benefit of the doubt and, until the Cap comes back to defend himself or assert that he really did mean it the way it sounded, I'm going to assume the best in his post.

It is lunchtime, and this kangaroo court really should drop their pitchforks and slacken off a bit until the facts come out when everyone gets back from the pub.

Screaming "You bastard!" every ten seconds until that time isn't going to achieve anything.

Agreed that it is likely a typo
But bearing in mind previous QOTW responses and responses on this page from people with personal experience of rape and suicide... it's in very poor judgement.
Also, I've seen answers from people who have gone against the moral-grain and give away some hideous personal opinions.

Shouting "you bastard" will either make him correct his mistake or justify his position. Hopefully those who berate him will calm down when he corrects his wording, which is what I'm egging for.
