I'm sure if I thought I could be paid handsomely for offensive jokes, like Jerry Sadowiz is, I'd be making up plenty more than I do. Perhaps at heart I'm just about on the nice side of the line. Just a quick, genuine question... Was anyone here truly offended? Or did they think it was just bloody horrible? Tony

Not offended Tony, just close to edge, as many of mine appear to be.

 

its hard sometimes to give the thread an edge to keep interesting rather than just producing "vanilla" all the time, but we will keep posting, and maybe pushing the envelope occasionally

Exactly. Nobody is forcing them to read the jokes. If they are (far too easily) offended then don't read the posts. It couldn't be simpler.

I dunno Tony. Never got the chance to see it, whatever it was. I would quite liked to have been able to judge for myself whether or not I was offended. Did anyone else see it?

 

Modding on this site seems to be getting a bit heavy handed, especially since we're all (supposed to be) adults.

 

Providing it does not break the law in any way I think a post should not be removed except as a last resort. If, for example, someone makes a racist joke, as far as I'm concerned, it is better that they are called to account in public by fellow forum members than just having said joke simply deleted. Otherwise the perpetrator or teller of the racist joke won't feel responsible for what they said.

 

And we must all take responsibility for what we do and say, and face up to the consequences thereof.

I find myself torn quite often. I agree that we should have freedom, but then I've the rest of the internet to be free on (as long as the US government isn't watching me too closely!). I like to hear jokes that make my eyes turn into dish plates, but also silly ones about animals crossing roads. I also hate putting Richard and Adam into awkward positions, and for that reason alone I've been 'behaving' better recently. What other forum members think is neither here nor there for me: it's Naim's forum, Naim's rules. And to be honest, there's a fair bit of freedom considering this is a manufacturer's own forum. Tony

My wife is going to the hair salon tomorrow. For the next few hours I'll be practising my reaction. And, strangely, this is true! And thanks Richard. I've no time for the hairy faced, cave dwelling cottage burners! Tony

Well, if you can call ignorance a talent... But I suppose with the standard of talent shows going on these days, he might qualify....

Ooooh get you!

I was going to respond to Kevin's post that with a name like 'Meredith' he could well do so.

 

But I don't think I'll bother now.

I do have a bit of Gaellic if you prefer. But I can't remember where I put it.

 

Terribly messy language you see. I kept it in a box. Nice and tidy then.

My mate Dave had a really bad accident. Both his feet had to be amputated and his vocal chords were damaged. He doesn't make a song and dance about it though.
