    Im pretty sure Katie is spelled with a K... what you've got going there is probably just pronounced Catty... course maybe that's what you were going for.

          It is offensive to call a sock puppet a troll, dog. Didn't you appreciate the free editing of your incessant blathering? cool

        Yes, but I don't really see what that has to do with this.

    I don't think the problem is in identifying that there are bad hubs, the problem is in singling out any one group. And with all due respect Izzy, I don't know where you're from, but I can guarantee your fellow countrymen have already posted horrible hubs... which is the point. Good and bad comes from everywhere.

      I think she is from Scotland - and they are terrible.  The other day I pointed out to one he had spelt Haggis with three "G"'s - yep - "Ghaggis" and when I said "mate your a f'cking useless cont" he took umbrage and threatened me with a spelling competition on a public forum.

      I said "no way you fecking Scots ba..." well you get the idea - and we had quite a set to.

      Truth is his pages stunk of old pee and his, if he is a he which I doubt, pronounciation was probably awful.  All Scottish sounding which means you cannot understand it unless you are pissed.

      Now.  Let me tell you about the Jews...

        Ive never met a Ewbie I liked. wink

        So Thomas, my thing here is... you seem to be upset with the admin, b/c they are allowing you to be accountable for your own words.

        You apologized which I thought was quite impressive and humbling, but then every time someone rallies around your original msg. you say you stand behind what you said, every one just misunderstood. Then someone from India comes along and quotes you directly and one can see that it was clearly phrased in such a way that it would be extremely hard to avoid insult if you were from said country and the whole thing begins again. Why don't you just repost your original apology and let the chips fall where they may? Defending yourself only seems to bring dissension once again. Please understand, whether you meant to or not, you hurt a group of ppl with your words, something we are all capable of (especially, apparently Mark), if righting that wrong becomes your goal, let that apology stand or it wont ring true.

          Why can't we all just get along?

          Let me see if I have a racial harmony cartoon.  This will do.

              Me neither.  But I read a page on it the other day - learned a whole lot about it.  Come to think of it, I wrote the page.  Still informative though.

              Although...

              Not sure how good my English was.

          I apologised for causing offense and wanted my post edited because the inability of this topic to die means it will continue to cause offense. But if someone understands and supports the original intent behind my words, of course I'll stand by them.

          P.S. I've posted my apology twice. People don't read it.

            What is that word.... the one that's like.... riding both sides of the fence? I can't recall. I bet one of our Indian friends can.

    Ok... This thread took a predictable change. Just a friendly idea or suggestion. Has anyone contacted the forum moderator or admin and made the request directly? Is that possible without ripping each other apart? smile
