Pack it in. If you can't post politely please don't bother posting on any BE forum. Your tone is causing trouble in more than one place and its not wanted.

================================

In addition, can you all please stop discussing the banning of a certain poster. He's gone, nuff said, can we all please move on.

this thread is getting surreal ...

'Drama Queen' is the sub-title used by Songbird herself - just as you use 'Prowling Witch'. So if we were to say, "...you nice old prowling witch", would that be offensive?


================================


I'm all for the banning, he pissed me off big time, but - I don't see any harm in someone questioning it.

Maybe we should all just start discussing the weather, or, the price of tea in China ...

As said above if Songbird wants an aplogetic PM then will certainly send it.

As I see it we were having a bit of friendly banter - thats exactly how I took your comment. I will require a VERY public apology ( oh and a box of chocolates and flowers, and maybe a gift voucher for Victoria's Secrets )for the 'old' comment though, failing that I reserve my right to refer to kick your butt :p

@ Pollyana - it's all cool here no worries - just kicking it around a bit :)

I was having a conversation/debate earlier with my husband stimulated by the words of politicians including our current presidential candidates. So, I was just wondering what you think - is America the greatest country in the world?

As you say certain things can easily get mis-understood because language is such a powerful tool that can easily get mis-interpreted.

Anyway I will still say SORRY to you just to clear things up and certainly lay off the old.

PFFFT! don't you dare apologize to me. That really would offend me that if you thought I was the type of person that didn't recognise a bit of banter ( and respond in kind) when i saw it. Truly Jules it is NOT necessary - we are cool:thumbup:


Oh he says he don't mind at all - saves his cheap arse from forking out! :rofl:

PFFT!

jajajaja I saw it just as a bit a banter as well and knew from your charcter and what you wrote that you would see it as a bit of banter as well:thumbsup:. But maybe some people don`t:(

Anyway I see that you are from West Virginia. Me being an avid historian, I have a special interest in the American Civil War and have always wanted to visit Virginia to look at some of the famous battlefields there.

I'm actually 'from' the UK - but been here in wild WV for about 18 months now :)
As for the 'war of northern aggression' (lol yes the Rebel Flag is still hoisted with pride by many round this way, generally accompanied with a rendition of 'The South Will Rise Again' ) then I do believe there are many places of interest here. Happen you should come a traveling - it's warmer than Canada as well :p

Is America the greatest country in the world? No not imo but it's certainly an interesting experience and obvious gripes aside it's one I'm enjoying. I just wish I had the time (and means ) to fully explore it :)

Well sorry but I can't comment on posts I haven't seen. Sometimes things do get personal for some people on chat boards, sometimes things that aren't meant as personal attacks are interpreted that way. Who knows? Suffice to say those comments you are referring to were removed ( as indeed other people's posts have been when they are considered to have crossed the line) that's par for the course on any chat board. Without having actually seen the posts it's difficult for me to say much more really other than make the observation that they weren't obviously considered offensive enough for an outright ban.
