so always go with the safe option and go OUT of your way NOT to offend anyone.
i never intentionally offend anybody , but in this particular case i thought they would be OK..obviously i was wrong and i apologise....i did , however put the proviso...do not view if easily offended......tongue in cheek maybe after the latest debate....
so...if there is a warning...dont look at it...how simple is that..
if a tv programme is about to show scenes which are to be distressing they usually warn you....you have a choice , watch it or dont..its no good watching it , getting upset and then firing off a letter of complaint to auntie beeb
just recently we had a caption competition that was marked ADULT........ so it is ok to use adult themes in a competition but not in a post...........double standards?
That's a fair point Boo you old rascal.
We are getting bigger & bigger, & it's becoming more & more difficult to retain our ideals. You just need to understand, & bear with us, while we work out the right way forward on a whole range of issues.
Tighty is getting it in the neck alnmost daily now, simply because he works very hard, & tries to follow what we've asked him to do. I support him 100%.
There is a deliciouis irony here in fact.
When Tighty became a Mod, he led the "we MUST have Rules" debate. I got all obdurate & would not give in - "I don't want rules here, I want guidelines & common-sense". (Which remains my view, by the way). Tighty's view was (is) "without rules, it makes it very tough to Moderate".
Now he's doing what he's been asked to do (by me) & he's still the villain of the peace.
He's been attacked recently in more quarters, by more people, than enough, & it's out of order. Yup, he's big & ugly & thick-skinned, but I can tell you, he's feels very "down" about it now.
