Thanks BWM, I'll try to keep up better next time. :-D

I missed the second word in your post, i.e. "personally" so then Donuel's comment "when they say that they are not offended politically but mostly personally" seemed to come out of nowhere and be related to nothing in this thread. I still can't see a real connection between you using the words "my personal view" and Donuel's response but hey!...he just prefers to "hear ones own authentic thoughts and observations". (IMO, the fact that you clearly stated that your comment was based on your personal view shows that you want to be clear and transparent in your comments.)

Ex-teacher corrections:

"one's" own - with an apostrophe

"tuppenny-bunger" not "banger" - but it is a long, long, long time since I saw and heard teenage trouble makers throwing them down, so forgive my old lady memory, please.
