I can understand how gimp can be seen in same lighthearted way among guys but when I call someone a gimp I mean to insult him, demean him and bring him down......

Its not aggressive, nor demeaning.
And so say all of us, so lets bring this to a close now. All parties have said their bit, and I certanly do not want to give Wales4Ever the impression that we are unwelcoming to new members. I think this is more a case of crossed wires.

Thanks

A bit like if some called faggot in my direction I'd probably just answer to it, but if I saw Millhouse is a Faggot written down, then I would contest the point...
I don't think even muppet written down is bad.

They only way it could possibly be insulting is if you heard it said about you behind your back.

Maybe in the introduction? "...creating the misleading impression that the hybrid version reflected a speech given by Australian prime minister John Howard.."

Responsibility eh? How about not perpetuating Internet rumours that are false, and carrying on about after it has been pointed out to be false?

muppet is a friendly comment i think. not very insulting at all really...

i have a lot of NZ and OZ friends in the UK and they use the word c.nut all the time. i was kind of shocked in the beginning as it is a really bad word, but after a while you get used being called c.nut now and again. as long as it is said in a friendly way i think you need to keep it calm...

by the way...you're all a bunch of muppets for taking this thread completely off-topic

As several other posters have said, its meant as a slightly patronising slap on the wrist. Its not offensive, and its meant to imply that you have done something daft.
Petal??? What are you a faggot?

As for doing something daft, who made you the say all end all huh?

Sue, all it shows me is that many of the posters in this thread really have very little respect for one another, if that's the rule to play by here then fine, I can play that game too...
