Agreed. Clearly SS was a flawed individual. Even if COS is a 
protective measure, it is over protective. THere was an incident on 
the Tube recently where a father punched a man for standing on his 
child and making them cry. However, the poor man fell awkwardly, 
bumped his head and died. Being over-protective does often have 
serious consequences. However, the point remains that SS was probably 
a decent human being - unlike his descendant!!
