I also proposed "Did you know ... that this US senator used his position to defend African American soldiers falsely accused of murder?" with the same stipulation as earlier—the second clause is neutral because all of the men were exonerated in the 1970s.
Re arbcom ... if they held *actual *trials by battle, I'd want GorillaWarfare and former arbitrator NuclearWarfare in my corner.

Hi Ed, sorry I'm lost, exactly which suggestion are you referring to?
By the way, I thought that trial by battle referred to Arbitration Committee proceedings. ;)

Fine by me! I wasn't too sure if it was a decent idea or not. What about my first suggestion?

I'd probably be wary about doing this again for the same blogpost, but it's probably an idea for the future?

We could also try to make an explicit Game of Thrones reference, if it's not too repetitive: "Oberyn Martell and the Mountain from *Game of Thrones* could have fought in a trial by battle as late as 1818," or "*Game of Thrones*' Tyrion could have requested a trial by battle as late as 1818."
*Game of Thrones* there would be linked to the show's page (that should drive up views).
Sorry, if I actually watched GoT I would have thought of this before.
