message: Was it not also used when describing Ulsters/ex-Ulster ones during the un-official raiding-terror squads period/s, some captured/interrogated by the IRA/provisionals, when the difference between what was being officially admitted to as a part of the claim by the crown 'legitimate' attempting of keeping order, could not include their 'additional activities' they supposedly undertook on their own initiative/choices, which was later revealed to be actually turned a blind eye to creating distance from the crown, but during the BOTH-directions demands for prosecution on BOTH sides later on, had already been acted on, and despite the Brits claims of inadmissibility of evidence, was still culturally and popularly considered a grass, just as much?
Keeping in mind that is, that a ex-Ulster or while unable to ignore the crimes of his fellows Ulster grassing on his fellow members that did participate in those crimes in addition to the supposedly-legal actions, especially if done outside NI's borders, were in-amongst, someone ELSE's local authority?
i.e.  on the other side of the border, the normal organized-crime definition that might seem consistent with who is of the authority, and who is acting-against it, is no-longer parallel, and so a Ulster unable to ignore the hypocrisy, would-be a grass to the immorality, despite the claimed spotless reputations of the Paratroopers and other squads, in a maintaining false-dignity sense?  It's one thing to use/mis-use your local authority/courts to deny the evidence of your enemy, it's another to extend that convenience into larger domains, in this case here at Wikipedia, a global-encyclopaedia.  What was embarrassing for the crown/loyalists, does not BIND everyone else in the world, to their one-sided avoidance of admitting to having however many grasses undermining their false-spotlessness / false clean-reputation.  Awkwardness with TERMS, expressions, like a grass, will not make the dual / bi-directional history somehow disappear.  No point, just admit it, and move on. 101.119.113.91 (talk) 23:48, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
