I doubt anyone would like to have one of theirs dragged through the mud

I totally agree, nobody would like to have a character dragged through the mud, including myself. All of my characters are women, and so far, and I emphasaise So Far, none of them have done anything to warrant being publically ridiculed (or privately for that matter), and I hope I manage to keep it that way.
However, if that occasion should arise, I'd like to hope I can be good natured about the comments. They're about my character, relating to something she said, or did. They are not a personal reflection on me or how I play them.
I don't want to get into a slagging match about anyone's characters, but I have to agree with Ravenswing on this one - sometimes it's like Liz is totally blind to how Doctor Temporis treats her, and she has frequently turned on people for having an "unfavourable opinion" of Doc. I'm not saying that I want Liz or the way you play her to change, but just make you aware that it's not about you - it's about your character.
None of the comments I've heard or seen are meant to be in any way mallicious, and I certainly don't want to sound that way either, and I apologise profusely if I've upset or hurt anyone.
