Just had an email from Patisserie Valerie offering £5 off their large Gateaux. You can have a personal greeting inscribed on the cake

Thought Savvy might appreciate this comment

We reserve the right to refuse potentially offensive messages:rotfl::rotfl:

Well, I "reserve the right" not to visit your website:p!

What "right" have they got to refuse that anyway?:huh: And what is "offensive" - it's totally undefined, unclear and left for me to guess! And what is meant by "potentially"? What is a "message"? And what do they mean by "We"?:rotfl:

That's how I work - my brain works - sometimes (yes, sometimes it does:rotfl:) or actually most if not all of the time. I concern myself with the words and with the detail of each word.

I've no idea what is "potentially offensive" (under their meaning of the term, whatever meaning they have or meant - and, as it is unclear, it therefore, as a message, fails to communicate. It's just "something they say":doh:. I think this again - according to the NT world - is just "something people say" - "We reserve the right to refuse potentially offensive messages" - they never dissect it or take it seriously. It's not meant for that purpose).

Maybe it is "potentially offensive" to say that you refuse potentially offensive messages? After all this offensive "reservation of rights", that fails to respect me, we might all be better:rotfl:.

Actually, "reserve the right". It doesn't say that they will refuse such messages, whatever they might be and I've no clue, but merely that they "reserve the right" to do so. So - it leaves them able to pick and choose when to "refuse" in pursuance of that assertion to have an alleged "right" or not and to act of total whim in applying or disapplying it in a completely arbitrary manner apparently without reference or accountability to anyone!
