That’s because it is now summer and also because certain people don’t really permit criticism of that phrase or its author (but that’s a different story!)
I know I've probably gone well off topic now, but this is demonstrating once again that we are getting to the point now where there is no such thing as free speech because it would appear that you just can't say anything any more without people being offended by that and I think that this is a very sad inditement of how our society is shaping up now.
I have tried to be thick skinned about it and just said what I feel anyway because everyone is entitled to their opinions at the end of the day, and it is up to others to deal with that in the appropriate manner since I have no control over that. However, I know that there has been occasions in the past where people have taken what I have said really personally and at times, this has brought me close to quitting this forum altogether because if you can't say how you feel without upsetting or offending people, there is really no point in carrying on as far as I'm concerned.
Would you after all, be really surprised if I did so just not so that someone else would then be forced to take on the responsibility of starting each day's current conditions thread and the various other threads which I have started recently which also includes this one? One reason why I do carry on is because I know that there are members out there who value a lot of the contributions which I have had (why after all, would Brian and his team of mods even allow me to part of this forum if I didn't have something worthwhile to contribute towards it?). They have said so themselves in the past and to me, it would be very sad if these contributions did not continue simply because of a fear of upsetting or offending others.
I will add though if that takes me to the point where I feel that I have no option other to quit this forum altogether, I shall have no hesitation in doing so as there are other things in life which i can happily get on with and maybe, that is just where I would be better off.
