Black fox; "but unfortunately in the good old u.k these days..."

Yep.

"amazing how someone can jump in to complain about a quick quip obviously meant in jest.but can't be bothered to join in any forum discussions ?????"

Yep.

Robert: "Some people are sensitive to gender stuff'

Yep. but then it depends from which gender. Additionally, the jest doesn't even need to be directed at the person complaining, just the fact that some unknown female somewhere has been described as a bag of spanners, obviously means EVERY female has been suggested to look like that.

It's just an opportunity to jump on the old gender bandwagon & have a whinge, which I have no desire to entertain.


yep i can only but refer back to roberts post of earlier this month "has the cat got your mouse"

so is it preferable to say nothing and let the site owners think its a waste of time or say something and get shot down in the process .

i used to frequently (daily) visit treasure hunting forums i.e metal detecting and i can assure you that as there is a potential serious amount of money to be made at that game the arguments such as "someone was on my favourite field yesterday " led to major slanging matches ,sometimes real fisticuffs ,blackmail threats ,and cars having to be kept out of sight in fear of vandalism at good sites .
however when these online slanging matches took place (and still do) the forum viewing numbers rose enormously ,really going off the scale in the case of a lengthy argument

ipso facto ,milords i rest my case :cheers:
