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 ! |

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 | 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? |

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. |

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

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. |
