Oh, and I voted yes.  Not because I thought the comment was necessarily out of order, but because the response to Jelly's 'complaint' was offensive, unexpected, and to be honest, disappointing.

Yes, I would. But back to the point in question.

I said 'ladies who are easily offended' ::)

Firstly, may I take the opportunity to thank the many people who welcomed me to the Forum

It was especially nice to hear from Lizzie, being a woman.

I've owned several Omega's think they are fantastic cars, and I'm sure the Forum will be of a big help to me, with its blend of technical knowledge chat and humour.

I don't appreciate school boy humour Jimbob, please in future keep comments like that to your self


Is it just me .. or does trying to dictate who says what and where on your first day on the forum seem just a teeny weeny bit .... shall we be polite and say "ambitious" ???

May I kindly advise you NOT to read ANY of the jokes published in "General Chat" ... from your quote .. you won't appreciate them .. :)

 ::) ::) ::)


Sod Jokes, try any posts!

She claims to like the humour on this site.....


Must have been very selective when reading before joining!

This forum is filled with humour, banter, schoolboy humour, piss taking, downright abuse!

It is all tounge in cheek and is what makes this place as friendly and entertaining as it is.
[/highlight]
Agreed, lighten up  :-*

 :o Jeez!! What has happened to a bit of banter?? PC Rules!!

I'm always last in the office in the morning but I make up for it by leaving first.

I'm about as un-PC as you can get.

But what happened to this member, forgetting the original comment from Jimbob, was just bloody rude  >:(.  All members need to be made to feel welcome.  We're not an exclusive club  >:(

I did put in my original post that I thought I was back on VXON when I first read this but deleted it after thinking twice.

I will add, I see nothing wrong with Jimbobs original comment, but perhaps when it was obvious that it caused distress, perhaps things could have happened differently.

Now, regular members know that pretty much anything goes in general chat, but I understand things went awry in Newbie section?  Remember, its a place to welcome new members, not the opposite

Without making any judgements either way, I feel 5 moderators isn't enough, I didn't see any most of the day please feel free to put me right as I am new here but i think things may have been different if there had been someone who could have locked the thread early on.


Just an opinion, dosen't mean its right.  :)
