 Nobody said he was angelic (unlike yourself of course sweetie....), down with Femme?  Where have I criticised Femme?  I am just making a point that mostly it is not WHAT is written that is offensive to people, but WHO writes it...

 I am not comparing you as people, but it seems crazy that some of Tami´s posts were deleted for using words like "clown" (ouhhhhhhhhhh how disgusting!! lol ) and yet others are considered fine!

 

 And femme had a post deleted the other day for using the word ´clown´.  Personally I can´t quite understand why we suddenly have to consider this word an insult but apparently we do.

It is not consistent.  I can guarantee you that over the next few weeks there will be far worse insults which are completely ignored, but TODAY "clown" is "disgusting"! lol

 So - seriously - do you think we should have a list of unnaceptable words?   

 

You are right though - sometimes it is WHO says it rather than what is said.  Cynic somehow had a way of making most of his comments sound unpleasant - rather different to the general ´evil brit´ ´bed amrikan´ ´fat-assed amrikan´ type comments that get bandied about and no-one takes seriously or is insulted by.

 Of course! And I assume ´bad clog´ is on that list, eh?

yes, "alienated" should be one of those words. Catwoman considers that word a "disgusting insult", or she thinks so only when It`s me who says that.

Personally, I find clowns very creepy......but not insulting. 

 

As far as what should be deleted -I think anyone can take anything as an insult....however, I think, and this is only my opinion, that only truely vulgar words should be deleted.

 

I think that feeling insulted is a risk you take when you post your thoughts on an open and public forum.
