If AW allows the offensive threads to remain, I told them to cancel my AW membership. So if they choose to leave threads that offend my religious beliefs, this may very well be my last post.

I enjoyed most of my time here. I will not put up with posts that are offensive to my beliefs.

So this is most likely goodbye.

Hi Pegasus: Your post has nothing to do with any aspect of Yahoo Auctions.

Shouldn't you post it in another forum?

If you are referring to some of the language
,I agree, although it doesn't offend me.
I can understsand how it might offend others.
On the other hand if someone has offended your belief in wicca, maman, odin or the
judeo-christian god, please be advised.
You're on uncertain ground.

I'm offended at all the posts on here including my own. Please remove them all. I'm also offended by AuctionWatch's color scheme. Please remove yourselves from the internet.

I picture you as having a gold tooth and a raunchy cowboy hat.
I'm offended by all that.

S.O.F.

(You don't like my cowboy hat?)

Actually, you should see the Confederate floppy hat I wear at the reenactments! Even my own officers hate it!!! It is one ugly dog but it's my baby.

As for the gold tooth, well, I'll never make enougb on Yahoo now to pay for one so I have to go for plated tin...

Ole' Tin Tooth...that's what they'll call me..

I highly applaud your stand. Personally, I have only seen the one "topic title" which I found extremely offensive; but I presume others have been posted since then. Well, I went back and did see the second title pop up with a like usage.

BUT, while you are thinking about how offensive at least one of these subject titles is to you; you might reconsider how offensive the ID you have chosen is to "a jealous God."

I'd prefer to write you personally regarding this, as any comments I might make here will only generate more blasphemy.

I'm with you on the last comment.

I made a remark about mindset of a certain group of people and had Pat jump on me.

I was going to lay into her and give her a quick college lesson backing my statement, but then, this is not the place so I just let it slide.

We have to keep our minds on what we're doing here, as much as we'd like to slap people who make statements we regard as truly stupid silly.

pegasus, you certainly have every right to stop posting because you are offended by certain threads.

I have been outrageously offended by some (many) of the recent posts on the RT so I just ignore them. But to ask AW to delete threads just because YOU are offended is pretty much asking this little world to revolve around you. I think AW does a decent job walking a fine line. Someone, somewhere will always be offended.

I don't understand why you have to post your feelings. Just go.

Everyone,

I'm going to lock this thread as it is unproductive.
