I know I'm old fashioned but I find it deeply offensive that a tiny minority can dictate to the rest of us what is offensive and thus have the power of job or no job in these circumstances.I would rather see these things judged by a "jury" of reasonable people deciding if what someone writes or says can reasonably be construed as offensive.This would hopefully prevent the PC fascists becoming the arbiters of what is right and wrong.
OK I'm a dinosaur.

SLIGHTLY off topic but...

Johnboy, just a quick question. I'm looking at the site on a laptop and you know at funny angles these screens tend to point out things you may not see at a normal angle, BUT I was coming back to it after getting a beer and your avatar moved which caught my attention and then I noticed on your avatar that you seem to have quite slim hands, and a luuuuurvely manicure!!

Any comments on this????

I like things like this one press of that send button and who knows what damage you can do.

They're not my fingers thankfully (cos I'm a big hairy-arsed biker ), pinched them off a photo of Dr Rich :P .
