The meek and the....

Ben is mildly fed up.

It's the use of the word 'mildly' here that bothers me. If your emotion towards whatever thing can only best be described as 'mild', then it pretty much doesn't matter does it?

If you're 'mildly' against child-prostitution that kind of suggests you can just about stomach it where required. So as with in this update, if you're 'mildly' fed up then you can probably manage to get on with it.

And not, thereby, bother me and your other 150 mates with your 'mild' state of
disillusionment with something that I shan't bother to find out any more about. As that, ben, would be a waste of my time.
