I am not saying anything........and adding a smiley to something that you feel may cause offence makes it more offensive than an honest post.......and I am not referring to the above post, but to other posts where you know you are overstepping the line.

I know that the internet is a very poor medium for getting across nuances, and that it suffers from the fact that you do not have the additional cues that body language gives(in a discussion)...but there is still a requirement to be thoughtful about what you post.

Personally, I find it a bit sad(unhappy sad, that is) that someone who has the potential to make interesting and informative posts...to enrich the forum, fails to do so...and resorts to what is, basically, childish behaviour.

We all have our idiosyncrasies, our foibles.....we can all get heated and irate at times.......and sometimes (only sometimes) this can make for interesting reading, because it polarises opinion.
I respect your right to have the opinions you have, but I do not like to read stuff which is aimed at ridicule of either the forum or a member of the forum.


You need to think before you hit the 'submit' button.

And before you accuse me of being in cahoots with Less.......I want to tell you that I make my own opinions about threads/posts.
I am capable of independent thought.
