Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 I actually didn't have anything to apologise for thanks very much! This world is getting too b****y PC for my liking. Everyone has to tread on egg shells all the time for fear of upsetting a black man, a gay man, a blind man. Urgh! This PC nonsense goes too far. Everyone knew I wasn't out to hurt anyone, I was just making an innocent comment. So why the need to everyone to jump on my back, telling me I *offended* them or suchlike and then me having to apologise is total and upper c**p! Its always the same. But this world is getting worst. Actually perhaps people should apologise for their nit picking and sensitive behaviour. You want to a Dyke or whatever, well fine, but don't take it out on me! p.s. You knew very well that the comment I made was about something else Richard brought up, so it was almost like you wanted to raise this PC gay discussion/argument. Glad you got what you wanted! And no, I don't fancy women!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 I'm with you Jane It is difficult making a light hearted comment these days On one list I/others keep being asked for references when we make a statement to prove what we have asserted It becomes a battle instead of a bit of fun chatting with friends The only way to get round it is (imo ) not to respond ,hard tho' that may be --especially when others join in Angie - " Janey " <jane.cuming Sunday, January 06, 2002 9:44 AM Dyke > I actually didn't have anything to apologise for thanks very much!

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 Reality check: Generally, requests for sources come not after light-hearted comments, but after serious allegations. For example, when you wanted a Sab turned Huntsman to be 'named and shamed', someone else rightly suggested we needed some substantiation first. Which Edith supplied . And when someone else said that cooked rice, if not eaten immediately, could be a source of food poisoning, you asked for info about studies, saying you would assume that the story was meat industry propoganda otherwise. Today, you've been asking for a reference pretty much all the time .
