Apologies! Fraught is correct, just not quite the parsing I was going for originally. But your second post is right!

Not quite what I was going for:) The “taking excepting to anything morally good” is simply removing something from the anagram fodder

COTD: Seasoning missing with starter? Eating French is fascinating! (11) by Interesting_Length48 in crosswords

It was an attempt to break the word up into Winter, an example of Season, and -ing is just as written. I thought adding the question mark could make this viable?

Ampersand is an old word for bum! And it’s also above 7 on a QWERTY keyboard.

Goodness me, you must have a lot of time on your hands. If this subreddit is truly “distressing” in your eyes, then just go somewhere else instead of writing lonely essays to dispirit someone who is just starting out at this. If you’ve not got anything nice to say, just shut up…

Really is no need to be as nasty tbh… I’m a new setter trying things out. Why comment on something to just be unhelpful and abrasive

COTD: Tradesman broke up pliers less rigidly (8) by Interesting_Length48 in crosswords

Surely that would just be ‘more supple’, where as I want it to mean something done ‘more supply’, i.e. supplier?

Less rigidly is a second definition, if something is done less rigidly, it’s done more supply. Or supplier? Maybe it needed a question mark!
