Blimey, what on earth is happening?
Currently there is a real spat going on at RK, because some people are being huffy about their opinions being criticised, and this afternoon I've found the same thing happening in one of the threads here.

I come to the discussions to see if I can help anyone, see if I can get help myself, and often for entertainments value (love the threads on mens habits right now ).

I accept that sometimes my suggestions may not be agreed with by others. If someone disagrees with me, Then that is their prerogative (big words now), and their opinion is just as valid as mine.
I think we all have our sensitive issues, and sometimes we can all say things that sound sharp by mistake. Please can our contributors try to keep a sense of proportion (and humour) about these responses. Personally I can get enough arguments at home if i try, weithout logging on to get them

CHEER UP everyone PLEEEZE.

Chill Temptress - just a light-hearted dig! There's nothing wrong with your name, honest! If I could have picked it for myself I would have, I'm just kicking myself that I didn't think of it first! It's great, no really, it is!

Lol..Rhubarb and Custardo...very apt!

: )

not sure how to do those!

bossykate · 17/01/2003 23:11

custardo, i agree people seem to treat it as a "get out of jail free card". together with "i really don't mean to offend, but..." followed usually by a really offensive comment.

Oh batters, I hope the person who said that is not a friend - they sound horribly tactless - and more!!

"I'm not being funny but" ALWAYS means, I am about to be bloody offensive but you're not allowed to object.

I know people who use it before making eg racist remarks. Makes me very cross.

and of course there's "with respect ....."

My pet hate !

tigermoth · 20/01/2003 12:58

some friend, batters!

I really hate it when people listen to you and at the end of your piece, say '.....but are you happy'
