so are you one of those mums who rolls the car because you're trying to cover juniors eyes when someone in a short skirt walks by?

I'm pleased to see the mod agreed with me as you've changed it now.
It was far, far worse than a pair of cartoon 'flutterscutters.'

And as for an argument with you HUP.
Can't be arsed.
I did say that

I stuck up for her many times on here because i liked her nice side. The vitriol was more than nasty though

You see what worries me about this forum, is that we have to modify what we say for children.
I think there are enough forums for kids and kids alone and I dont feel that parts BE suitable for kids.
My stories or some of them, are very rude and I dont want to or will not, modify my behaviour for children.
Where do we draw the line in what we post? What is acceptable for one person may offend someone elses because their kid reads it.
If the avatar was of someones genitals then fine but it wasnt.
If this forum was based and centred in an Islamic country, then fine. But its not.
An avatar is a personal choice. Some might get offended at beautiful sexy women used as avatars.
One member has an avatar of a woman in a catsuit with a whip. Ive had sexy avatar pictures before.
In photo post, anything goes, children probably go in there too.
I know this site has rules and regulations with regards to sexual innuendo, pictures and the deliberate action of offending people.
But I think it is a sad day that we have to censor what we post purely for the kids.
And in the great scheme of things, bouncing breasts as an avatar, is not really offensive is it.
Before anyone calls me racist or insensitive to religious and cultural beliefs, don't. My husband is an Arab, doesnt practice his religion and has a healthy opinion and beliefs on nudity and the body mother nature gave us.
Also a good guideline for what you let your children see and not see, if it offends you, then don't let your kids see it.
But whilst I will not go out of my way to upset anyone and try not to offend people, I resent the fact that my writing could be censored.

For my two pennies worth, all censorship is bad, Basically what makes anyone more moral or righteous to decide what I as an adult that can work the off switch, see, watch, listen to, play or read.
I suspect the real reason the mods are closing threads and accounts is that sadly nowdays once someone has put a complaint in writing and the recipient has not done anything about it, and if the subject matter is sex, sexism, racism or any other politically correct subject. Then the recipient is liable to litigation. One reason I left the UK was when the UK gov brought in a law whereby I as an employee could get fined for having door knobs instead of door handles as this could be construed as discriminating against a disabled person at interview.
And as for Fuzy duck complaining about it in the first place, Its actions like this that make the world such an anal PC place to live in.

As for not giving a rats arse, the two of you have something in common then
And thats my last word on the subject cos I'm beginning to think i sound ridiculous and childish
