It seems that my thread has been pulled,either it was reported or G.R decided to pull it, either way I find it amusing that people can be offended by my thread.
It seems people dont like the truth,I probably hit a nerve somewhere.
Oh well,thats life:-)))))))))))

I am hoping the reason your thread was deleted Roxanne was because of the posts by Faith Future in which she insinuated you were a racist and not because you offered a valid opinion
on something that you had experienced.

My post was:
This reminds me of when Lou was accused of being a racist. In both cases - utterly ridiculous.

Hi Roxanne didnt see your thread sorry and certainly didnt report it.

I cannot see the point in reporting a thread because you dont agree with it, but it takes all sorts eh ;o)

I didn't entirely agree with you, but when I last posted........ saying there was no need for apologies as we were all giving our views based on our personal experiences...............no posters had mentioned racism and it was a very polite discussion.

Oh well, onward and upward! lol
