Hi Gilbert
If you find Goanet postings somewhat irritating, please ignore them or use
your delete button. What you shouldn't do, as you so often do, is imply that
you are somehow, the barometer of the irritation threshold or that your
posts are perfectly acceptable on the Goanet menu.
Let me also remind you of a famous author (perhaps it was Salman Rushdi) who
said that, nothing is worth writing about if it will not irritate anyone.
I have retained the posts below so that Goanetters get a good flavour of
this discussion.

If you-guys are serious, try real self-flagellation with a knotted rope
and kneeling on a bed of nails.
OK guys and dolls! Stop the self-flagellation. Purro tumchem pirachit.
Going out to pasture as punishment is better than a horse retiring to
stud.
I would take that any day.:=)). So too, would I take, "sarcasm, wit, ire,
irritations and sensitivities" and metaphors etc..
And definitely prefer them to insensitive, deceitful, innuendo posts AIMED
SOLELY and REPEATEDLY to embarrass and vilify others.
I hope most writers and readers know when that line is crossed.
Kind Regards, GL

That may irritate some other people, too!! That's Goanet for you - can't
please all the people all the time, some you can't please at all *smirk*. So
where were we - sarcasm, wit, ire, irritations and sensitivities - try
slipping that Russell Peters DVD into the Home Theatre and sit back and
laugh!!-

I honestly don't think I deserve this. I am not being any more or any less
irritating or insensitve than most posters on this forum. I have quiet a few
people who write to me and tell me that they enjoy my postings. However if I
am, then I shall put myself out to pasture and save everyone the irritation.
