Oops. What have I done?!

Maybe the small print apology was too small?

That bowl/bowel one is a common one JACK. It's not meant to be taken personally. Come back, s[end some time and you'll see it's all in good fun!

If someone can't sense the love and fun here, she/he brought that to the table. It is sad to see that. Not as sad as that picture of Diane, but still, sad. And to think that the name of the thread.....well, never mind.

This would be a perfect time to re-post something I've said here before. It kind of bugs me when I hear criticisms of the US school systems being inadequate. Up in the Lake Tahoe area, there was a young girl kidnapped, I think she was ten or eleven. She lived with her captors for more than ten years and had helped in the sign business of the man who kidnapped her. Patrons of that sign shop said that she was a very capable and helpful part of the business. She had not gone to school at all since she had been kidnapped.

In fact, one of the reasons I started to participate in Boxerworks was so I could learn better how to get my ideas across in writing. aldfjko[weituqw There. How's that?

Thanks, Steve. Here I was thinking it was all me. It's nice to know that when we offend decent people and drive them off the site, at least we're making it a fun group project. :oops:

Jack seems a bit too tender. We even make fun of ourselves.
Is it possible he has not read other postings and discovered that?

Tough place to hang for the thin-skinned. Especially if you are strongly opinionated (as Jack was in that other string) AND thin-skinned.

(not that there's anything wrong with being strongly opinionated - hell we live for that) :mrgreen:

Jack blasted in, and blasted out.
No one has ever offended me in the seven years I've participated.
Not sure how many I've offended tho'

I'm pretty sure you must have offended me but I'm also pretty sure that if you did, whatever you would have said was above my level of understanding. I have carefully worded that so I wouldn't give you any straight lines. Fingers crossed.
