There was no need to start another thread on which to have the same discussions which have popped up on a couple of other threads this past week and are now in the Take it Outside forum.

The threads in question were made to wind up another member, we let it go on for a bit then decided to draw it to a close. Stuff like that is alright up to a point but we have to stop it eventually, cause once it goes on too long its not really funny anymore.

How were my intentions in making the threads determined? "behind the scenes"?? You have decided that I meant to wind someone up, I have stated quite clearly that wasn't my intention.

I still puzzled how an innocuous thread like Mornington Crescent can be deemed offensive or even a discussion. It's a nonsense game.

IMO the short thread veered off the rails at the second post; I think it was a oblique reference to a, then recent, post on another thread. What was wrong with the Mornington Crescent one is anyone's guess.

Thanks thats great.

Now, what about the other thread, and the accusation that it was started with malice in mind?

I totally agree as was mentioned earlier I think my post should have been deleted if it was judged to be inappropriate (even though I was just trying to be funny) and the thread allowed to continue.
