200+ posts late maybe but can I ask a few questions.

1. If I was to offend someone on this thread would they still be alive tomorrow?

2. If I was to black up for a dance or play tonight woud it make any difference to anything whatsoever?

3. Remember the old term 'sticks and stones can break my bones (no -not that sort!)~ but names can never hurt me'?

Guess what.

If someone offends me I may get a bit shirty. I'm over it tomorrow.

Stage make-up has no bearing on anyones thoughts, charecter or intentions. I know because I have worn it.

The old term is true. You are all adults. People give and take offence at all sorts of stupid things. Get over it.
