Sorry for any offence caused

[mixedup]

I apologise to fellow mumsnetters if my post have offended anyone, That was not my intention

What post are talking about mixedup, I can't say that you have offended me.

Read 'SH shameless flirting@ and all will become apparent.

I read the post earlier and didn't find ANYTHING in the least bit offensive, I can say that you have NOT offended me and thought that that thread in particular was very very amusing. I cannot understand why complaints have been made

It was all meant to be a bit of a laugh, but it has offended some so I am saying sorry to those whom i have offended.

Mixedup - I thought it was very funny , and I WAS a little bit involved, so I too apologise. Take care and don't worry about it....

Gordon Bennet, there are real things to worry about Don't worry about a bit of fun

lol

aww shame- I was enjoying reading that!!!

spoilsports. That was fun. Honestly, it beggars belief that anyone could have been offended by that - anyway, all they had to do was stop reading!!!! strewth
I was wondering what had happened to SH too.

Think he is hiding

Ok - I'll come out and admit I was offended - not enough to complain but I did stop reading. I think it was a bit insensitive to indulge in cyber flirting (however harmless you all meant it to be) when there are many previous threads speaking about how betrayed other women have felt when their partners have been involved in this sort of behaviour.
But I would hate it if any of the participants stopped contributing to other threads or left mumsnet because of this.

You don't have to read all the threads do you?

People come on here not only to discuss important matters such as loss, seperation and nappy rash, but also to chat and unwind.

I think its really sad that something funny and silly had to be stopped by a couple of people with nothing better to do with their time than read threads that they know will offend them!!!

Sorry, rant over!

All I want to add is that after I came home from a boring day at work, I was in hysterics reading that thread. I fail to see how that could cause offence to anyone. Even if it did what type of person carrys on reading it. I do not like some of the threads on here, and if I do not like the look of the thread then hey I don't open it or close it when I realise its not my cup of tea.
I remember another thread I started about spoiling for a fight and if I can rememeber someone's advice was that you should have it out with the person on the thread. Don't suppose anyone wants to own up and admit they complained.

I do hope it has nothing to do with the fact that mum2toby (if I can rememeber rightly) had some choice views on another thread.

I myself started a thread about my DH looking at porn and it upset me, but this is like office flirting and anyone who has never done that either are lying or need to get out more.

I am confused as to exactly why the thread was deemed offensive/unsuitable. Was the problem with this thread the idea that it was condoning unfaithfulness? If so it seems hugely judgemental to ban a thread on those grounds - a censorial decision which itself actually does offend me and make me think less of the mumsnet chat forum...Have I misunderstood the grounds for banning the thread, mumsnet?

Forgot to add that if it was that offensive, wouldn't it be deleted by mumsnet?

How ridiculous. Totally agree with scoobysnax - although if i find out my dh is Simon Howard my views will no doubt change.

Well feel as though I was back at school for a moment then and someone told the teacher.

I don't see how anyone can be offended by our harmless fun, so I will not be apologising. (as plenty have said you didn't have to read it)

I do think it is a bit sad that now I (and I am sure others now) have to re-read their postings carefully as to not offend anyone. Taking away lot of the fun.

I actually showed my DH the thread before our "warning" and he thought he was funny. So if my own hubby didn't take offence then why should anyone else.

I go away for a few hours to work and then eat and sleep and come back to find that I seem to have caused an uproar.

I appologise to all those people I have upset with my flirting.

To all of those that found it funny, I thank you for taking the time to read it and I am so glad it may have brought a smile to your faces.

As I have kept saying I will try to be a good boy and not flirt and it looks like I will now have to keep Mumsnet a flirt free zone (but my e-mail address is on the shameless flirting thread for anyone who want's it ).

I also feel as if I am being told off by the teacher and said sorry for the sake of peace because that was what i was told to do as a child. I have said sorry to the people who are having relationship difficulties and who may have been upset by this.

I do not feel however that either thread was inappropriate, just because we are parents does not mean that we are not allowed to have fun or express our opinions, and surely sex is a major part of being a parent, otherwise there would be no children.

The beauty of this site is that we are able to discuss all sorts of issues wether it be war, circumcision, pnd or which pram to buy or sex, or so i thought.

I'm NOT apologising.....

Well said everyone who stuck up for us!!!

I thought it was funny (and quite informative too :. I kept looking to see what was going to be said next, very entertaining.

As with all threads if I don't have an interest in the topic I steer well clear. Mind you, if you have a peek sometimes you find that the topic is totally off the thread anyway.
It was obvious what that those threads were about so perhaps it is just a case of avoiding offensive threads. There have been (and are)more contentious threads than these.

Entertaining - not offensive...ROFLMAO at some bits.

Mind you, wouldn't like Mumsnet to become nothing but dirty chat...I have other sites for that

It was a bit like watching a car crash, though, wasn't it? You just couldn't look away, even though you felt you were intruding (hasten to add I wouldn't have complained). I've got to admit I might view the participants a little differently in the future so I hope none of you are planning on having marital problems you'd like my advice on.

Was very entertaining, though ! today will be much more boring in consequence.

I thought it was all just really grim.
