Oh dear Hoopy!
Well that’s good if you know what and who Shammy was referring to and so that’s you in your first sentence on the front foot so to speak.
and in the next you are in one breath that you ‘genuinely’ don’t want to offend me and then go on to call me a hypocrite.
your argument is that this forum is a ‘free for all’ for people to ‘air’ their views. You also assume that Im expecting preferential treatment towards one person above all others is simply way off the mark.
Shammy has explained in detail about who and what she was referring to and I will respond to that.
in response to your other comments they are full of assumptions and in my humble opinion way off the subject matter.
You state “Far Worse” things are said on this forum on an hourly basis. Well I don’t think in my opinion that is factual as the written words and their effects are based on the response of the reader. The use of the term ‘bitch’ is sexist derogatory language fact.
In context to your argument that I’m not calling out all offensive behaviour and I’m therefore not worthy of your respect or support. I wasn’t asking for either of these.
What I was trying to point out was that I was focussed on the language used and not particularly on the person or member here using it. It was to highlight imo the mistake in using this type of language to attack another person’s character.
im not asking or requesting you to “buy” anything.
I’m not expecting any kind of “preferential treatment” for anyone just because I respect that person that’s you making assumptions again.
My focus as already stated is the use of and especially our written language and its effects on the reader. I think we always and should try and remember who our audience is. I do not believe it’s ‘a free for all’ as you state otherwise we would have no need for the Report button and the guys who monitor content.
I would like to say that I feel sorry that my original post was seen as and can be gathered by the responses yesterday as an attack on a member of this forum that was never the intention which I think I have explained.
the circiling of the wagons was interesting
