I didn't say that. Let me spell it out for you.
There is never an occasion when insulting a member's family contributes to the conversation. That makes it intolerably irritating. Therefore, unless introduced to the discussion by the member, their family is off limits.

Just a question. Since I often say things like 'Dazza says...' does that mean he's within the limits and people can take potshots if they like?

I've been thinking about it and can't come up with a decision either way really because usually when I quote him, it's because he's said it when I've read something out to him from the cellar so in effect, it is him saying it. On the other hand, if someone wanted to question his opinions which I've quoted, I'd hope they'd stick to the opinions in question and not resort to personal insults.

Well, if Dazza says something I think is really dumb and poorly thought out, I'd say so. That's as far as I'd go, in the going-far-out.

Mind you, if they did, he'd probably join the cellar in order to 'clarify his position'. lol
And he'd be welcome. Not only for the intellectual input, but also because he's with-it enough to have married you. No, I ain't foolin'.

I don't really understand what this means, something like this obviously isn't what you're talking about

Expect this to be routine now that TheMercenary personal attacks have been condoned for months.
but whatever, do your thing, thanks for trying to explain.

You're smart, you'll figure it out.
