Crikey. That warmed up a bit.
Lulumama, I apologise wholeheartedly if you were offended by the comments I made. Especially after you said that all jews have big noses. I assumed you weren't very bright because you not only took a comment , understandably, out of context (insert youngbutnotdumbs apology here), but then turned it around into the insult that you so copiously abhore. The comment about working in a call centre was in direct response to you not being able to say I don't want to talk/chat/speak with you, and using the nonsensical, call-centresque phrase 'I do not wish to engage with you'.
As you say, best thing to do is to turn to alcohol to calm yourself down.
I am part Jewish, and no offence taken. I have a Roman nose (roman all over my face...thanks, I'm here all week). All comments made were light-hearted, and very jokey, and I fully appreciate people like YCBS, YCHE and Tinksmum to not only see the funny side, but to stand up to people like ititi, lulumama, and Mmmlint.
MmeLint - You used the term 'blackie' as an example using a directly offensive term racially. That's so the point. You have no idea of the offence that caused, as well as lulumama insisting all Jews have big noses. You also went on to explain about a mix up over your childrens parentage in a restaurant in Gemrney, and passed it off as "Tbh, I was not offended and neither was DH (once he got over the shock), we put it down to the waiter being rather young and naive. I laughed.). Surely just like Youngbutnotdumb yes?
The comparisons were not racism. GOY.
I think if you want to go Magnificent7 bashing, then read all of my posts, especially the recipe ones, disability ones, personal jobfinding help ones, techinical ones, litereary ones, and the ones on how to make your food taste better, especially if you have special diaetary need. Look at the victim of abuse ones, the alcoholic partner ones, and especially try and find the ones for people that are bullied by people that think shouting loudly about crap over long periods of time isn't generally demoralising.
Then, when you've read it, come back and paint me a really nice picture of a poxy troll because you've got nothing better to do with your time than get your panties in a bunch rather than admit you got the wrong end of the stick. You are making MN a minefield, and a desperate bore for those of us with genuinely helpful, or polite, funny things to say.
