i believe he actually meant it as in 'There are none so blind as those who will not see' Not unacceptable or insulting at all.0 -
Thanks krisskross, but to be honest, there appear to be some people who just want to argue, not discuss and are willing to twist anything to suit. So I'm off.
If you think any of my posts were offensive, please do report them.0 -

I haven't said your posts are offensive. I take offence to continually thoughtless remarks by Trademark.
Actually I am off too. I wish I had never become involved in the thread. I am incredibly disappointed by the lack of sensitivity shown by some of the posters here.:dance:Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will. :dance:0 -

Why should he have to spell everything out and dumb things down? I understood perfectly.
Anyway I have had enough of this as well. So perhaps you would like to report both me and Al Mac to abuse.0 -

In that case accept my aplogies, but to be honest it looked as if you were telling me off directly.
The problem with threads like this is that they are very emotive and the written word is so easily misundertsood.0 -
I doubt this thread will be open much longer as it seems to have degenerated into a slanging match.
As I think all the main contributors have made their positions clear, there's not much more meaningful discussion to be had, it may be just as well.
I'll end by saying, well done to all those who've reclaimed their unlawful charges and too all those opposed...hmmm well.0 -
