Hi guys.
OK, my own take on this whole thing is let's let it drop.
I feel on both sides it's probably been blown all out of proportion.
However, in future I'd say please watch what language yo use on the list.
I'm from BELFAST and try to be careful. Words we'd use and not consider to
be offensive at all could very much so be considered as offensive to other
peoples from various cultures and beliefs. And try and keep this in mind
when posting to a public group such as this.
For the record the list of moderators on access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx are
Steve Dryden
George Bell
Barry Toner
When a moderator pulls you up on something I feel any further quarrels
should be delt with offlist. By both moderator and subscriber.
From my view point I'd be much happier if we move on from this and learnt
from the experience.
Cheers
Barry
