Goatfell,

Thanks for your response, I shot from the hip there and could have been a bit less hasty in my response to your earlier post.

I totally understand your problem with all this walking on eggshells.

I hate it too.

That is one of the rasons that I hold a deep personal resentment against racism as it is responsible for me having to think about who I might offend, and how my views might be perceived, especially on borderline or grey area issues.

It is the racists who are responsible for this political straight jacket, not those who are aginst it.

If it wasn't for the racists and their history of violence there would be no raw nerves to worry about.
