You do not need to apologise Blue, this is a public forum and a country will allows freedom of speech.

We all have our own opinions/experience on matters and are willing to express them, I just find it pathetic that a lot of these threads spiral out of control because people can not except other people opinions and go on a scathing counter attack.

I'm gravely offended. Buy me a 'Busa in matt black along with a lifetime's supply of rear tyres and insurance as well as the inevitable legal fees and taxi fares for the bans it'd result in and I'll forgive you.

I'm utterly offended and would like to complain that I completely missed that thread, due to several crises at work and a basic lack of attention to the forum at the particular window in time, at which the thread with the offending posts contained within, was open.

Who do I write to?

Yours absent mindedly

Surbighton,

having just read the thread, i must say it was in a bit of bad taste. even if it was just a joke.

if the thread had been 'partner' instead of 'woman' it might have been a bit more tasteful. and the poll was a bit less derogatory, then it would have been ok i guess.

but what springs to mind is the prodigy's 'smack ma bitch up'.

i'm actually glad that you have made an apology to the people that were upset about the thread Blue, as i can see that it has upset you to have offended people by the thread.

I've missed all the fun

Don't tell me political correctness and "hurting someones feelings over a joke" has reached the .org now.

Next up we'll be banned from the site, loose our pay, and be harrassed and hated by the press, for a joke.

Ohhhhhh deaaaaaaaaaaaaaary me!!!!!

Yes my coments are aimed at a few on here. and my give a f**k meter isnt moving weather people care about my views or not.
The point is Neio that it's not a very diplomatic JOKE is it? Women had to fight for the right to vote/equality/etc so I think they are entitled to be a little put out when people try to degrade their status.

BTW why do you seem soooooooo angry all the time?
