I remember reading , [ "lurking"- not my prefered word ] , first up ; and thinking that there was so much to learn. There was, and still is. Downside, I had nothing to offer.
Until..............the Cape Story, posted by DWFOREVER.
O.K., I'm in. A bit of fun. That i'll be in.
Posted a bit after that.
Couldn't upload pictures. Ergo no 'my drum kit' offering. But did do the intro thing, etc.
Then I read a reply to a post, something to do with upcoming nuptials, that Larry had made.
I found his comments somewhat crass. But I couldn't not react to: " give her one for us", I find that offensive, and said so.
None of the female members or moderators commented, so I figured that apart from my having just commited social suicide, it was tolerated. Even though, in my opinion it flaunts the rules of the forum, [ yes, I read them ] ; and is a prime example of what happens when responsibility is not attached to freedom of speech.
Feel free to argue the ' politicaly correct/ incorrect ' line. But remember that words have power. That's the way I judge them.
In fairness, I have read other posts of Larry's that I considered deeply insightful and sensitive." So the guys a human being after all ", I thought. But I have noticed that core members, [ without whom the forum wouldn't exist ], do get a certain latitude with the forums governing rules.
Yep, I know. I've just commited ' social suicide ' again. But .................
Actualy, no buts.
