@ghost-of-a-duke saidP. Schofield, it seems, is a poisonous, bullying, secretive liar and arguably a predator as well. If he knew nothing whatsoever about his poisonous, bullying, predatory, secretive lying brother's actions, then that's good.
I still think adding it to the OP was a cheap shot. Philip is his own person and should be judged as such.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidSo he maybe knew about it and then suddenly disowned him after he was exposed? Why did you mention it if you have ",no idea"?
No idea.
@fmf saidOn what do you base that assessment of P. Schofield? Thought you hadn't followed the story.

You seem to know much more about it than I do.

From reading about it.
@fmf saidIt's more likely he disowned his brother when his acts came to light than before he knew about them, don't you think?

I already said I haven't really been following the story, but did read about him disowning his brother. Is this where you begin your selective reading?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidNope, I make no such claim. Just expressing an opinion, as you are.
You do appear to be an authority on the subject.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI don't know if it's "more likely", no.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhat "selective reading" are you on about?
I already said I haven't really been following the story, but did read about him disowning his brother. Is this where you begin your selective reading?
@fmf saidIt seems he had a consensual affair with a younger male colleague which he lied to conceal. Would you be labeling him predatory if the affair had been with a consenting younger woman or is his gayness a deciding factor? (as it seems to be with Dive).
P. Schofield, it seems, is a poisonous, bullying, secretive liar and arguably a predator as well. If he knew nothing whatsoever about his poisonous, bullying, predatory, secretive lying brother's actions, then that's good.
And again, how are the criminal acts of his brother relevant?
@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhether or not there is a predatory element relates to whether there is a power relationship. You ought to know that from working in an office. Nothing to do with his sexual orientation.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAs I said, P. Schofield is reportedly a poisonous, bullying, secretive liar and arguably a predator as well. If he knew nothing whatsoever about his poisonous, bullying, predatory, secretive lying brother's actions, then there is no link.
And again, how are the criminal acts of his brother relevant?
@fmf saidI find this post particularly unpleasant, implying as you do (with comparative language) that Philip's actions are akin to those of his brother. (Which clearly, to any reasonable person, they are not).

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThey are only "akin" in so far as the same adjectives arguably apply. Their deeds are not "akin", and I have suggested no such thing.
