Les,
I read your post yesterday and also I read Sextme �s posts and I didn �t find anything offensive. She has a special way of making jokes and I have been noticing that there are people who are not able to understand it. Saying that your post was too long was in fact a surprise that someone could write so much! At least.... I saw it like this. Unlike some other members whose intentions are deliberately mean, I think S was just trying to make us smile in her own way. I am not her lawyer, I am not her family , I don �t try to take her side BUT I didn �t see any intention of hurting your feelings.
Don �t take life too seriously. I self-educate myself to understand people, their way of thinking and their backgrounds. If smth didn �t seem funny to me, it doesn �t mean its intention was to make me feel bad.

Les, Someone called me" racist " here and ...have I left the site? Have I felt offended? I told everybody I am not racist , I am really not, I know that and I don �t care who tells what (especially people who do not prove much in general) and I won �t leave the site just because someone has too much time to write on the forum.
I just tell this because I know the people involved and they are not as you think they are. I don �t know you, but I know them!!! And I know for sure they didn �t mean what you implied!!!

 Well, Les, I do feel sorry if I sounded rude!! My post was only meant to be funny - I guess it was not, reading you...I should be more careful with what I call...humour! If you knew me, you �d understand I could only be joking, as I �m a real British everything lover!!
Same with my : �Make it shorter! � comment : I just could not write this if I did believe it!One - at least I - cannot be that rude. I found your answer very funny, & teasing you was a way to say I loved reading it.
Absolutely sorry about this, & a big thank to Chris for letting me know about the misunderstanding!
Sylvie
edit : I promise I�ll never do it again! ( Joke  ) |

I find it rather startling that someone would become upset by my WOD post. Sorry if I offended anyone--it was not intended. |

) and she is the first one to admit it and her humour is not always obvious and transparent!
