Hi all,

I have just received an email from a member of this Forum who has taken
umbrage at some wording they found offensive in some recent posts. It was
not the matter that I was prompted to address, which certainly caused
offence to one of those involved, and although I found the matter
“regrettable”, no-one else seemed to raise an eyebrow. It only goes to show
that we are all set off by various things, often quite unpredictably.

I think that when we joined this Forum, we probably agreed to the condition
that we avoid postings of an offensive nature. In the interests of harmony,
please take care that what you post is not likely to have off-topic
implications (political, religious, gender, nationality, world view etc.)
which may trouble some people. If your remark is meant to be playful, please
indicate that by using an emoticon. We have no other way of working out
whether you mean to be taken seriously.

And if you do read something in a post which really annoys you, instead of
possibly causing the matter to be blown up into almost an international
incident by complaining in a strongly-worded post, how about emailing me so
that I can consider deleting what has troubled you.

Hi, John,

A very reassuring post, I hope I'm not on your "little list
of society offenders who could well be underground and never would be
missed" as the Mikado's Lord High Executioner would say. [image: *:))
laughing]

I'm certainly one for making the odd tongue-in-cheek comment and hope
it is seen as such and doesn't cause offence, that is certainly not my
intention.

As I matter of fact I wasn't aware until recently that you are a
Moderator of this group, nor, indeed, that there even were any now! I think
it's a sign of good management when a manager seldom needs to intervene at
the nuts-'n-bolts level, some have far too itchy fingers!

Have fun,

Roy.

I'll give my personal views regarding JORGAN FORUM.

Its full of mixed people from all different backgrounds. It's the way
people are brought up within life and society.

Personally for myself? I don't care less longs its about the organ world
and we can have a laugh now and again but we all need to get along with
each other... No matter what happens or what has been said. There is a line
not to be crossed.

Roy,
If it helps you to sleep better, let me assure you that you are not on the
list, and in fact there is no list. :-)
I hate acting as the policeman, and my main wish is to keep as many
contributers on this list as possible. But I have never really got over the
loss of Graham Harrison from our ranks because he was upset by a very
offensive post which was deleted too late.

Hi, John,

Thanks for your reply. I know what you mean about the
policeman, I've only once had the dubious honour of awarding a member of
Lowreyforum the Grand Order of the Boot... Not a nice activity.

Mind you, there was no doubt of the proper response on that occasion,
the post had no purpose but crass rudeness, something like,

"Not a bad pair of legs on ____ Putting it on a bit round the middle
though!"

...Well, what else could a Moderator do!

Have fun,

Roy.
