    I get that you're likely feeling defensive... many are on this with your starter. pretty harsh condemnation. would be better to consider what he said calmly, but its the same as I was warning the last couple of days.

    considering you're not wanting to see evidence as it would provide confirmation, its probably best left till after the weekend when the head cools down.

    yes the racial discrimination Act has swept our inherent 'racism' under the carpet. people no longer make blatantly bigoted jokes about boongs as I did as a young feller, just as we no longer make bimbo jokes. we've come to recognise we'll be at risk of a complaint if we do.

    some people comply with rules because they fear the consequences, others agree with the rules because they think they're right and learn from their past errors, some go further and become zealots, but always there are some like Leapzig who don't understand the rules and keep doing what they've always done and just don't learn.

    in HC we feel pretty safe thanks to anonymity to say what we please, within the TOU..... and even then bend it and some get shopped.

    try not to take it all so personally tappie. keep cool mate.
