That's not a nice comment, nor is it helpful to this discussion.
Ironically, it also proves a point! About being nice (or not in this case) to all moneysavers Pls.

Apart from the fact that what you think is funny might not be funny to somebody else, what you seem to forget is that what you find funny when you right it on your side of the screen may be received in a totally different manner by the reader, because there are only written words to say what you were trying to say and often words don't convey feelings/ expressions very well! Especially on a public forum like this where people don't always use expressive icons/ punctuation/ etc.

In a face to face conversation, I might say to a friend "you silly cow" for instance and it would just be a jokey phrase, yet in a written piece of communication it could be received as quite offensive.

Your comment justifies my original post, it sounds like the only idiots on here are those that post comments like your own. It's worse than listening to the kids in the school playground, at least they are still learning to be adult in their comments and views

Lighten up, it's The Arms, all tongue in cheek daftiness here.

Nobody is complaining about having a laugh. What is objectionable and causes offence is the ultra right wing sort of humour which takes cheap swipes at minorities. Some of the humour appeals only to a small sub
section of the membership and is exactly what Martin is striving to avoid. What is funny to one is deeply hurtful to another. Lets be sensitive to everyone people

Actually do you know that the original version of Snow White is very gruesome? As is the original version of Little Riding Hood? They've just been doctored by the likes of Walt Disney so as not to offend sensibilities... And Cinderella's glass slipper wasn't made of glass either?

I'm busy earning a crust and rather than being way up there, the sun rose 3 hrs ago, so I'm a good bit down there and heading further down manyana
