Fuming - details set out in email

reason2

my least favourite type of person is someone who chooses to be offended on behalf of someone else, about something that has nothing to do with them, that no one else cares about.

Email addresses are classed as personal data. If you now have lots of random peoples email addresses I would complain about that as they now also have your email address.

You could theoretically be spammed now by any random.

At the least, I would expect 1 month's free membership for their blatant breach of the DPA.

I had no idea 'Cretin' was an offensive term, I doubt many people of my generation do. Whatever it once meant it has now passed in to common use as another word for 'moron' or 'imbecile', which thinking about it were also offensive words at one point. But none of them are any more, I don't know why anyone would find Cretin offensive as no one uses it in a derogatory way any more, those meanings have been lost.

Why not reply to all


"Dear Mrs xx

As you are fully aware the reason my payment failed is because you have not taken the new details, and you seem to have no cover when you are not in the office

Please let me know when you are about so I can update the details, and also is everone else aware of this problem from your side?

Even if they do find it offensive...what's wrong with being offended? It's infinitely preferable to living in a society where nobody is allowed to say anything which might accidentally a little bit perhaps offend somebody somewhere if they take it the wrong way.

All three of those words are offensive and of course they are used in a derogatory way. What else could they be but an insult! 😕

Seriously? You don't think cretin, imbecile or moron are derogatory? I can't think of any circumstance where they would be used in a non-derogatory way.
