Madam before you flatter gezegde

 Madam, before you flatter a man so grossly to his face, you should consider whether your flattery is worth having
  Samuel Johnson

  William Penn

 We decided it did not meet our longstanding policy of not publishing words or imagery that are grossly offensive to religious, racial, or ethnic groups. It's a judgment we face daily and have made many times before.

 It's worth bearing in mind that 'Hamlet' makes poor Danish history and that 'Lawrence of Arabia' grossly oversimplifies the politics and cultures of the Middle East. I don't mean to say that drama should never concern itself with factual accuracy, only that a work of art must be judged by a higher standard.

 I don't call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don't flatter me.
