How are you and Andy? Well I hope. I have to go out for a while now, but I will be back in an hour. Just an observation here Ray, but isn't that an insult to anyone from Bodmin who looks at these threads?? I wasn't going to add to this thread but I just had to point that out.

I think we have to differentiate here between making a serious statement likely to wound; and with an obviously ridiculous statement which could not possibly be true. However, I have removed the post, in case it does inadvertently offend. Edited by: Ray Stear at:31st October 2008 09:08 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I wonder how many others would be game enough to ask the same question as I did. ? A small observation on your last post Wolfie. You would not need to ask that question if you knew that posts could offend someone, however inadvertently, and that a little bit of care exercised before hitting the 'send' button, could avoid any misundertanding. Everyone admires straight talking and honesty; but at the same time, I think we have to be aware that individuals have different 'sensitivity' thresholds. Some people have a skin like a rhinosaurus; others, who because of their personality make up; life events; or illness, may feel vulnerable or 'down' This may be a permanent or temporary situation, but that person may agonise over something said or written, which would horrify the author if they knew the effect his/her words had on the former. The rhinosaurus should be proud of it's courage and toughness, but remember, the gazelle also needs to drink at the watering-hole! I think you hit the nail on the head Ray, thanks for your input. Isn't it great when we can have a discussion like this without actually falling out over it, I think so! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I think most would agree that Ray is a bit of a joker anyway (topical for this time of year eh?) Wonder if he wears a purple shirt and green trousers, and so would not be taken too seriously regarding his comment! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I might have a look around Oxfam to see what I can find! I hope I have not inadvertently offended patrons of Oxfam! Ray. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Ray Stear Posts: 1930 Joined: 25th Apr 2008 Location: UK	Posted at 11:05 on 31st October 2008 I really don't worry too much of what people think of me. I do not try to offend, or annoy, but if I do, well I will always apologise to them and learn from that. Can'ty speak for Ron though! lol My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
