Can't be arsed PH. They are there. Both times you were called on them. You tried to be clever and brush it off as our interpretation of what you typed. Not clever enough though because I'd be surprised if there are more than two or three members here who didn't think you made those references, veiled or not.

There is no circling of wagons. You throw personal insults around in a place where it's very very rare to get personal even in the most heated debates. It's only natural for the members to take exception to your schoolboy name calling, they don't like it here, they don't want it here.
What I find quite frightening is that, one poster aside, the other members here find it acceptable that children are referred to as FB did . . .
Seeing we're such a diverse bunch here, I think it shows that most here saw the comment for what it was. It wasn't an insult, vile or vulgar. It was flippant remark about toughening up. Any swear words used were not directed at the child in any way shape or form.

But hey, if it was that offensive to you, sue. You might be able to get His and Hers matching Audis.

All these years of sparring and the best you can come up with is a "whinging pom" insult? Gosh, I'm hurt. [smilie=rotflmao.gif]

Really, Hat, whether this incident truly happened or is one of your hilarious attempts to wind up a forum (and I know you do it, with your multiple user accounts), after this one I'll no longer bother to try to defend you in any way.

All this talk of suing and litigation has spurred me into action.

Aliya, can you represent me to sue Starhub's Granada TV channel for broadcasting "Coach Trip", the worst reality TV show ever, where a bunch of British unwashed and uneducated are thrown together on a bus for a tour of Europe while a camera records how culturally inept they are. I'm suing for the embarassment caused to the country of my birth. Should be worth a few million.

So did they also show "Borat"?

You've got a hope, just a day trip across the channel and that's pretty much what I see....... mind you Aliya would do well when it comes to legal fees. :mrgreen:

PH I'd love a copy of the original letter your wife sent, sans all the details of the company of course, wouldnt mind using it as a base for something i am looking at the moment!!!

I've only just read this thread today. It reinforces my beliefs about being selective about what I share regarding myself and my life on forums.

If only others shared your beliefs, Bender, and then we might not have had that dodgy moment with the Israeli soldier :lol:

Yes I've learnt that (slowly) too. I saw a funny (bad funny) posting from a Moderator on another forum (now an ex Moderator :D ) who posted a pic of himself and his lovely wife, several pics and a video :shock: of his home in the centre of a major city, exact location next to an embassy, then a few days later announced he was going on holiday for a month - aaaarkkkkk. People don't always think do they?

Wow! That's just nuts! :shock:

That's handy, isn't it . . .

It is good to know that you can see inside FB's head for that . . .

But hey, if it was that offensive to you, sue. You might be able to get His and Hers matching Audis.

Oh, almost a clever retort, but not quite. Mrs Hat doesn't care much for Audis

Yes, it was a bit weak, but there is not much to have a go at you for . . . and I mean that sincerely . . .

Really, Hat, whether this incident truly happened or is one of your hilarious attempts to wind up a forum (and I know you do it, with your multiple user accounts),
after this one I'll no longer bother to try to defend you in any way.

That will be a burden as you've done so well at it.
Suffice it to say that it's all done and dusted . . .

The wagons can be un-circled now. ;)

True, look at the audience . . . joined before I moved to Thailand and it was quite helpful.
