Okay Shambles. I repeat-if you don't want that compliment, leave it be.

Or let me say it this way, if the shoe doesn't fit you don't have to wear it.

Or let me say it this way "Whatever, man."

And that's all I'm sayin about that.

GUEST, 22 Feb 06, I did not consider that joke to be silly.
Though I did not think so at the time, it appears others who read it or hear about it, also did not think that it was silly.

My intention for starting this thread was to share my opinions and feelings about that experience, and ask others what they thought would be appropriate responses to racism on this forum.

My intention was not to attack the poster of that offensive cut & paste "joke". Neither did then [and do I now]have the intention of of pondering the whys and wherefores of poster's action in starting that now deleted thread.

Also, you will note that I did not name his name. You did.

And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
