I agree, come on for a short while, as I don't come on here too often and had someone have a go at me because of a thread I have just posted. I don't post very often and don't join in as often as I used to and can see why now. We have to be so careful, because there is always someone who will take offence at something. M.

That's the problem speedy, some people are very quick to take offence at a what most people would see as a reasonable coment and then others are very quick to jump on the bandwagon!

whilst I agree with you in principle, its easier said than done. I will admit to having dived in with both feet on many occasions, but I do try and hold back a bit more lately - but if something particularly nasty/wrong is said, then I can't always keep my mouth shut lol

Please could we all be friends, there is enough going on in our lives with out falling out here where most of us turn to for a giggle and support, if any one posts a thread that offends, please don't put any thing on the thread, email the person direct and explain why you find it offensive, if no one puts bad replies on the boards we will then get back to how it used to be.
