Subject: RE: BS: Jade Goody Jokes
It's OK, Goatfell, the guy has recognised his error and apologised very graciously. Let's leave it at that, and let this one drop out?
OK, under protest, I will allow the thread to remain closed because of the chaos it has caused - but it will not be deleted. The forces of prudery win today, and the noble tabloid queen's virtue is protected.
Sorry, but I thought Mudcatters could react to a thread like this in a more mature fashion - like ignoring it, if they didn't like it. Do you folks get all bent out of shape like this when you see tabloid "scandal sheet" newspapers in the supermarket?
Your demand that we deal with this issue by suppression is absolutely disgusting to me. Don't consider the closure of this thread to be a precedent.
