[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 574077, member: 84861"] Zand...(((((hugs))))) In my opinion, words on a screen can be taken the wrong way all too easily. My sense of humour has got me into hot water before ;) I think that cultural differences make it harder to see humour too, the British are known for "dark humour", and the whole point of dark humour is that often it is against ourselves, and almost always no malice implied, or read in to it. If someone is offended by something that is not personal, or by banter, there really isn't a lot we can do apart to self censor to the point of near silence...just in case :(. Then you lose the cameraderie, the free form of speech, and that makes participation in a forum pretty pointless. Signy [/QUOTE]
