My Billy Connolly thread has been removed ?

I'd like to know why as well. It was a very funny thread and I cannot see how ANYONE could object to it!

so would i Paul, i was just reading it when it disappeared. It was really funny. Yvette

all the swear words had *'s in them, as standard... I'm not the first to do that so I don't see why the removal. I had one very strange PM from someone about it, maybe she complaned to GR. Think a few people need to get a sense of humour.

If someone complained then I think GR should at least have the dignity to ask Paul to remove it himself and explain why!

I didnt even get to see it! I love Billy Connelly. Donna

How could someone take offence, if you don't like it don't read it....... Julie xxx

I was looking forward to reading that.......

Thank gawd I just copied it & its now in cyberspace..... Gave me a good laugh Paul, was just about to reply too. Maybe someones has cast iron drawers on today....shame.... Elaine x

Paul even put a warning in the title! B***** pathetic if you ask me!

Paul I can't see why it would cause offense, there are other threads here today that are far worse, one in particular has annoyed me, but i put a polite message up asking for it to be re-worded rather than send private messages as they only foster bad feeling. I hope you are able to re-post it as i would like to finish reading it, after all surely anyone who finds Billy Connelly and his language offensive would not want to read it anyway? Yvette

Paul Always someone lurking here who thinks they know better than us what we want or like or what's good for us. Funny it is always done in emails. These people need to GET A LIFE!!! Grrrrrrrr I didn't get it copied. Take no notice Paul Pat x

It never ceases to amaze me how far people will go out of their way to be outraged. Gwynne

I always feel sorry for people like that. I wonder where the scar is for those who've had their sense of humour surgically removed ............. (No offence to those having undergone REAL surgery). Besides, Paul, who could take offence at one of your threads anyway?! I didn't see your thread either, more's the pity.

why does everyone automatically assume that a member has something to do with thread removals . Can genes staff not do this on their own if they deem it offensive or not right for the boards. Stop blaming members without proof its one of them, that is a big part of trouble caused on here.

I think the problem is Glenys that it contained, more than once, the word 'f*ck'. Just like that. With *. Shocking eh ? I've put an edited version on now ;)

Suzy Thank you It's very kind of you someone else has sent me a copy, I have mentioned it on Paul's other other thread. As long as the majority don't let the minority win out. I hate the fact that people cannot put on these boards what they say in emails, if they haven't got the gall to do that then they should be ignored. Pat x

Paul, Did I say someone had complained ? No. I said someone may have, since they'd sent a PM to me. I know that GR are fully capable of removing threads on their own, and have done in the past. In this instance, whatever the reason, I don't think it was justified thats all. Paul

What a shame....it gave me one of the few laughs I have had today....BC

BC.. I posted it again with a few minor alterations... read it again, before someone complains lol
