I have deleted a number of posts on here that overstepped the mark as far as I am concerned. If anyone wants an explanation then feel free to PM me.
Through all this turmoil we have had over the past couple of weeks I had always hoped we could all remain civil towards each other. From time to time some have overstepped this boundary (me included) through lively and heated "debate" and while I can accept sarcasm and innuendo regarding the whole topic I have to draw the line at abuse and attacks on each other. The other thing we all need to remember is that our words on screen are very sterile compared to verbally saying something to someone. There is no indication in posts if things are being said in jest or if there is real meaning behind a comment, and vice versa!!! Lets all please be careful to make sure a humorous comment comes across as just that!! In the current climate it is too easy for comments to be taken completely the wrong way and all hell breaks loose again!!
