I have enjoyed being a part of this forum for the last 3 years and have made many good friends. Today I have been accused of being racist and I really did not intend any offence to anyone and must apologise if I have.

Shirl, that is ridiculous. You stay right where you are. The reactions on that thread are bonkers. Ignore it and carry on being one of the valued posters here.

Here, here!

There are lots of threads I simply don't contribute to for that reason.

You stay and keep posting!

?? I hope you are joking when you say "Bye to my friends". As Ceres has said .. stay where you are. I have always enjoyed your posts and your sense of humour.

Don't go Shirl.

You were not racist.I do not believe anyone was.Some people delight in reporting stuff to the moderator as they are so PC they see fault in everything.

Stay and fight your corner and do not let these people have the satisfaction of thinking they have driven you out, :)

Some idiots are far too quick to use the term "racist". Ignore them, stay here... as for those who go running to Dan when they manage to find something that they can misinterpret - he's a busy guy with better things to do... grow up.

It's a pity that 2 people in particular chose to get all aggressive when others were simply stating their views. Shame on those 2 for escalating it to this - learn how to play nicely or play somewhere else!

Dont go anywhere shirlton. I havent seen the post but in my experience these sort of things happen on internet forums all the time - It's difficult to express humour/sarcasm/irony and posts can be taken in ways not meant by the poster ...then people over react and it normally ends up with someone invoking the nazis! Then it all dies down and we start again. Post on shirlton!

OllieC · « **Reply #7 on:** June 06, 2009, 10:17:39 »

Did you mention Nazi's, Nick? How dare you insult the memories of so many who have fallen, on this day of all days.... concentration camps, my grandfather... blardy blar... etc etc etc.... :) :)

I'm going to complain to the moderator right away. ::)

How dare you mention concentration when I have ADD. Admit it, you're having a go at me aren't you!

Come on Shirl, buck up. Im sure youre not a little wildflower that wilts so easily. ;D

Put it this way Shirl; in a room full of 100 people 5 wont like you, but you dont leave. You ignore those 5 and carry on having fun.

Not everyone will like everyone, its a fact of life so unfurl your petals and get back to enjoying this forum ;D
