Jess, that was one that I chose to ignore as indeed I have ignored a few, for the reasons you state - I honestly think that they are getting creepier and creepier- Just my humble opinion, but i don't think that I am on my own judging by responses to this thread.

Kris If we are on about the same thread (and no I dont want to name it publicly sp) then your right, what I read was not nice - ok as I say if you dont like dont read - but that wasnt the case was it?? mmm... how did I know it was going to turn into that sort of thread? The reason I read was because I have the same name in my tree as his!! Debs x

PMSL! I once had written bugger in a reply on the Tips board and was told off about it! I agree with Debs - not funny at all - subtle as a brick and slightly creepy I thought. Debby

kris - who is douglas? I am around 'on site' a fair bit, never seen the name before and probably wont again. risque thread posted for one reason and one reason only - ( i didnt see it so have no idea what it was about) To provoke a reaction...and boy, is he getting one, even though the thread appears gone. Ypu are entitled to an opinion, of course you are, in answer to your original Q ......No, i dont think there are any more, just wthe way people react has become more extreme jess

Debs I totally agree. I haven't been a member for very long but have noticed that there does seem to be an element of cheap thrill seeking and I for one find it uncomfortable and as I said earlier, inappropriate for this forum. I am still staggered that long term members can be suspended for a swear word yet these threads are allowed !

Debbie Report 1 Aug 2006 22:24

Kris I think we may be on the same level here - I love nothing more than a laugh and joke, but when something sounds innocent but turns out to be nothing more than something that sounds nothing more than a cheap thrill the more you read isnt funny! Innuendo's I love, but cheap thrills arent for this site.. NO not a prude.. Debs x

Of course you are allowed an opinion sweetie..... we all have them!! ;o) xx

Kris

Kris Report 1 Aug 2006 22:22

I think that the word innuendo implies a degree of subtlety - something which I did not see. You are right , those of you who said ignore - believe me I have, but I can have an opinion surely?

Joy

Joy Report 1 Aug 2006 22:04

Hello, Kris ... :-) Yes, I think that there have been more recently.

True Aimee, the title can often be deceptive. The way l view the threads is like overhearing a conversation on the street. You can't go around telling people you find their conversaton offensive, or tell them to shut up, so you move on or tune out.

Debby

Debby Report 1 Aug 2006 22:01

I agree Kris - just don't admit on here if you report any!

Paul Report 1 Aug 2006 21:57

Got to agree with you too Kris. I also think that some people will laugh if a certain person posts it. But if it was someone else, they'd probably take offence to it. It's the same thing as one rule for one, and another for others. Paul.
