RE: Gold11 Sep 2024 14:05
Fair enough News re. 13:02, that is your perogative and I think you are referring to 11:50 today as the most recent (I haven't read interim posts). The 01:16 post I reported and it has been removed, I regarded that as unacceptable, without question. I am not endorsing 11:50, but I do not regard it as a serious breach.
You and I have disagreed on occasional matters, though in a polite manner; with banter I will say: once some years ago (I was the se age as Theeeduke by the time he had his twenty winners) I was referred to as a clown, a friend of mine had to stay behind as others left the classroom and get a shout down, I later had to see relevant authoritive person after school and had a long but fair talking down to - which was taken in good spirit. Fact is, I was a clown that day and deserved it, was just one day and the clowning of us both was regarding the situations taught and the person with authority whose tone of voice was very distinctive (and was occasionally subject to consenting and organised comedy performed by a talented actor / mimic) - who without contradiction I have always liked and respected. He was in charge of discipline so it was not dishonourable clowning. : )
I probably have a soft spot for such reference depending how it is put and hope you don't mind this example of banter but I don't disagree with you in principle re. 11:50 and you are not as was described.
Thank you for, often, interesting posts News and the spirit of your efffort which is not without your own humour. : )
