That's irrelevant! I get the feeling you haven't followed his posts too closely for the past two years! I know of at least one poster who left the forum, due to his ignorance.
strange thing,i really don't pay attention to names,
as i was in discussion with a fellow information auditor the other day,when we were going over our assessment techniques,it occurred to me that names were minimized in my paying attention to,
this is why i probably did not know,because i don't pay attention to names.

Well in this case I did pay attention to names - very - close attention, the woman who left was one of the most active if not intelligent member on the forum and she just finally had enough of his degrading and sexist sh*t. In language that is easy to understand he was being a first class A$$hole.

You obviously don't know who David Dickinson is (a white man with an outrageous permatan), thereby proving that it is in fact you who is ignorant.



That's the trouble with the (Western) world that we live in in the early 21st Century, in which people are too easily offended over the slightest things which people didn't bat an eyelid at twenty or thirty years ago - or, to be more precise, very willing to take "offence" on behalf of others. We get people shooting their mouths off shouting "THAT'S RAAAAAAYYYYYCCCCIIIIIIISSSSST!" before they've actualy even bothered to check the fact at all.

Apologise to me forthwith.

Yes, too much complaining. People who complain about 'political correctness' are generally the biggest crybabies of them all. Everyone here can say and write Merry Christmas until the cows come home. Who cares if others are saying Happy Holidays instead?

Perhaps but every person who does that just helps to dilute the tradition of Christmas. What is wrong with saying "Merry Christmas"?

Nothing is wrong, say it all you want.

In a multicultural and multi-religious society, does the winter solstice festival have to be Christmas?

Is there something wrong with Hanukkah, or Eid, or Kwanzaa, or Yule? Are they so inferior to Christmas that they should be excluded?

Nobody's trying to stop you saying it. Sounds to me like you're trying to force others to say it.

what was the members name,did i have the pleasure of her company?
people leaving may have to do with the lack of organic conversation and of course all the bad impersenations of character,
the degrading sexist sh it was probably secondary.
thinking of leaving also,
what are your favorite blog sites or if anything good exchanges and impersenations and good character,where do you find them?
