Have you considered that a well-respected poster can indeed broach certain topics and his/her readers would be able to discern his/her intent and even make allowances for seemingly odd remarks.

Just the same, a poster with a reputation for off-colour posts will have his/her posts read with an expectation that there will be off-colour content, even if there isn't any.

It's a bit like the boy that cried wolf.

You made your bed, you can sleep in it.

Poor little persecuted you.

I would completely agree with you if you changed to story from, “the boy who cried wolf” to “the emperor’s new clothes.”

Ok...I'll change the analogy to The Emperor's New Clothes.......

I'm glad you agree.

I don't think that markywhatever actually takes in what other people say, just waffles on as he wishes.

A bit like me when i do my yoo toob songs when i have had a few many. At least mine only happen for a couple of minutes and then you can zap them. And i can laugh. And say shit, did i go on UUU toob last night. I know dam_n well i did coz i look at the time which can be quite late.

And the rest of you can laugh too. And I am not the only one.... I know the last one was Donny Osmond... Shitty witts.

And that French one... oops. In the future i shall get one of those kiddy blocks on my U tuub findings. Apart from Buble and ACDC

They don't go on and on for paragraphs.

So who were you in the piccies Harcourt???

sorry forgot the smile -

Mark, put away the "proper way of writing English" book and talk to us as we talk to you. Otherwise, you are going to get grief from English, American, French, Dutch, German etc, I know that you are American by the way you write humour.

You are too serious, chill.

We like to have a laugh. With lots of tongue in cheek (no pun needed)
