FAO Padfoot ... the reply I couldn't send!

It's offensive. Easy.

And before you start erecting your wall of cowardice and say that you wouldn't find it offensive etc etc......It's offensive by design.....whether that it achieves the desired result is utterly irrelevant.

So do enlighten us, oh ultimate arbiter of what I "should" find offensive ... which of these words should I be red carding for? Sh#t, Pi#s, Fu#k, Bolloc#s, Tw#t, Co#k etc etc etc etc?? And in a world where it's widely accepted that 80% of communication is non verbal, how on earth can we judge the offensiveness of what is said purely by looking at the words used?!

Interestingly, the one thing I DO find offensive is your sly insinuation that I am in some way a coward simply because I have a different opinion on this issue to you!

As Ross has already closed one topic before it descended in to...well....this.....I'm out.

Glad to hear that you're choosing not to continue trying to justify a wholly untenable position. I'm out too then!
