You are being very quiet!!! How dare they - a memorial service. An apology does not cut it!

When lots of words would stand out to anyone taking a glance - is that a reason to censure?

Is it too much to expect someone to read the whole thread in order to get the gist of things?

We're not supposed to discuss other threads - a deletable offence. I wonder if that applies to threads that no longer exist! hmm

Bluebell won't mind if you get her thread deleted. smile

Why is it OK to say 'fucking hijab' in a post but not in a thread title?

A google search would surely reveal all anyway? confused

It was 'fucking burka' not hijab. I remember thinking that the OP should have said 'bloody burka' because it has more of a ring to it.

I thought it was burka not hijab but the objection to the phrase fucking burka/hijab in the title of the thread was that it could be interpreted as a pejorative comment about the piece of clothing (which wasn't the intention of the OP). Presumably, anyone who saw it in that light wouldn't want to read the thread – which turned into something pretty unreadable anyway.

Do threads belong to the OP? Discuss.

What's that word that means making an impact through the use of a string of words all beginning with the same letter of the alphabet?.

The title of the thread does.

Ana Sat 05-Oct-13 21:47:12

I thought it was burka. I just copied when...hmm

Alliteration

petallus I am sooo sorry if the thread title offended your literary sensibilities! That was never my intention! grin grin wink
