A study worth sharing with friends both male and female: A study conducted by Sydney University's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. For example: if she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth, a spear lodged in his chest, a baseball bat up his arse, and on fire. No further studies are expected on this subject.

Quoting 'Tall_n_Hard' Quoting 'ontology' . However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth, a spear lodged in his chest, a baseball bat up his arse, and on fire. No further studies are expected on this subject. intend to demonstrate such for the study ?? Let me draw your attention to both the first line, and the final line of the "joke" study: First Line: "A study worth sharing with friends both male and female..." Whilst some may consider it in poor taste, it should not be necessary to point out it is a joke. For your information, this particular joke was one of a number of jokes contributed and circulated by a woman friend some years ago now. In any event, I'm somewhat curious as to your decision to comment on it at all. Has it struck a nerve? If so, I apologise. It had not occurred to me that an adult might mistake this for anything but the very immature and simplistic stereotyping type of humour that it is. I do know this does conform to the style of humour enjoyed by some here in the forum. It can be a bit of fun to goof off with childish shit sometimes. Then again, could it be you are expressing upset on behalf of the female members here? If so, why? Some women might find that endearing; some might find it patronising. (I also wondered whether perhaps you perceived opportunity to retaliate for my having called BS in your thread promoting the "Psychic" stuff?) Anyhow... Last Line: "No Further studies are expected on this subject." You were thus informed you ought not expect any demonstration. (Even if it had not been written there in black and white, you still will have got a good "read" on that right?)

I'm pretty certain Tall_n_Hard was well aware it was a joke. It's obvious - Psychiatry is not its own department at U of Sydney. Psychiatry is done within the Medical department, it is Psychology which has it's own department/school. Classic :p

To Ontology I was fully aware it was a joke, hence the smiley symbol at the end of my posting .If I was actually taking it as serious, I would probably have worded my response in a more serious manner, and perhaps also given a differing symbology with it, such as , or perhaps even , or maybe even . Are the finer nuances maybe lost to you with some humour ? Tall

Three blokes enter a disabled people's swimming contest. The first has no arms. The second no legs. And the third has no body, just a head. They all line up, the whistle blows and "splash", they're all in the pool. The guy with no arms takes the lead instantly but the guy with no legs is closing fast. The head of course sank straight to the bottom. Ten lengths later and the guy with no legs finishes first. He can still see bubbles coming from the head at the bottom of the pool, so he decides he had better dive down to rescue him. He picks up the head, swims back up to the surface and places the head at the side of the pool, where-upon the head starts coughing and spluttering. Eventually the head catches his breath and shouts: "Three fucking years I've spent learning to swim with my ears, then two minutes before the whistle, some asshole puts a swimming cap on me!" How many of you slack bastards laughed at that one? Still, you know there's always someone else out there who's got tougher problems. How do you reckon the "Eyeball Kid" is gonna fare at the upcoming Paralympics? (That's a Tom Waits reference).

As with Q, I dont know Tall and I do disagree with him sometimes. His comment was in good humour and not malicious at all. The emoticon in the end was to give the impression that the post was tongue in cheek. It was a joke Joyce. You read too much into his post and I would say lighten up? However, I think you may be taking things too seriously? Seem to be the impression I get with lots of your posts lately. But that is my opinion only.

Otherwise they would readily recognise the mocking and irony I have employed here in response to the many arguments in the forum. A piss take which would truly meet the classic definition of "dog whistle politics". A cheap shot, I know, but that too is a joke Joyce! It's clear my comment regarding "childs' play" was lost on some. No matter. Ne'ermind.

The nuisance action began in twelfth century England as a criminal writ, belonging only to the Crown. It was used in cases that involved encroachments upon the King’s land or the blocking of public roads or waterways. The King sought to punish these criminal infringements, commonly known as “purprestures,” through criminal proceedings. Over time, activities prosecuted as public nuisances included everything from embezzling public funds to having a tiger pen next to a highway, from assisting a homicidal maniac to escape to placing a mutilated corpse on a doorstep, and from selling rotten meat to “subdividing houses to the point where they become ‘overpestered’ with the poor.” As these examples demonstrate, early authority to commence public nuisance actions was derived from the sovereign’s “police power". Would anyone here bring a case at Law for the birds/mice/lizards their felines bring as gifts?

The attractive nuisance doctrine applies to the law of torts, in the United States. It states that a landowner may be held liable for injuries to children trespassing on the land if the injury is caused by an object on the land that is likely to attract children. The doctrine is designed to protect children who are unable to appreciate the risk posed by the object, by imposing a liability on the landowner. The doctrine has been applied to hold landowners liable for injuries caused by abandoned cars, piles of lumber or sand, trampolines, and swimming pools. However, it can be applied to virtually anything on the property of the landowner. Come on in, the water's fine! hehehehe

Feel so bad for my mum too, who cops the brunt of the practical and emotional burden. Don't be hard on yourself but perhaps hospital is the best place for him at present, gives Mum some breathing space and time for her to rally and refill up her emotional well and also gives you some "taking it all in and processing " time . Not hugging you :-) but sitting next to you buying you a drink.....I'm shouting :-) x

I'm replying to your post from the Pleased thread here because I see this as the more appropriate forum for the sort of debate you introduced there. That's just my opinion of course. Regarding your comments to Q about her Smoothie man. I don't agree with your choice of time and place considering the intent of the thread. Regarding the debate, I don't think there is enough info in Q's post to form any conclusions about the man's intent, so for us to try to deduce his intent can only be a guess at best. Aside from that, who is to say who is needy? Saying it's a homeless person sounds terribly PC to me. ;-) Many are poor in spirit and this moment of human interaction could make all the difference in the world. Just hearing about it gave me a lift. And that is why the Pleased thread is to date, my favourite thread. Hugs, Peachy

Just hearing about it gave me a lift. And that is why the Pleased thread is to date, my favourite thread. Hugs, Peachy I did not specify any confirmed belief as to the "Smoothy Man"s motivation in this case, but I did purposefully pose some questions for consideration to elicit some discussion and perhaps some indications as to value judgements. Certainly I would not dispute there may be people feeling poor of spirit who may derive benefit or pleasure from such an offer. However, part of my reasoned questioning was to ascertain if people might consider ACTUAL need. "Political Correctness" did not enter my thinking on this scenario. I am considering what might be considered empirical need. This empirical need may be specified according to measurable parameters. Also, I wondered how people might self-assess their own position if they were asked to arrange themselves in a line of ascending need? (I have not watched, but is that not the premise of a money/briefcase television show currently airing on TV?) It also is interesting for other reasons which impact all of us. For example, I'm sure you appreciate the implications for our nation's self-assessment taxation system (?). There has been extensive debate as to what is the appropriate percentage levy for each given taxation bracket level, as well as the practice of tax minimisation (not to mention outright taxation evasion). So you see, there is practical, logical, rational reasons I posed these questions. I did also intimate the range of writing/thought/discussion which has concerned such matters for millennia. I find it interesting to observe the modern context and consider how (or if) peoples' thinking has developed over this period. Thanks,

Just hearing about it gave me a lift. And that is why the Pleased thread is to date, my favourite thread. Hugs, Peachy you are right. A bit of kindness and generosity, albeit small, goes a long way, for anyone. I thinbk small gestures of kindness, whether holding a door for someone, picking up their keys from the ground or buying a homeless person food is a wonderful gesture of generosity of spirit to our fellow beings. I have bought food for the homeless many times while walking from my office to the train station, along bourke street or Swanston street. I would forego a big lunch anytime to extend my help to the homeless. My boys do the same thing as they have seen me give money and food to the homeless while they were sleeping. we leave the bag of food by their side. My 16yo son told me last week that when he was with his mates hanging in the city, he gave his last $15 to a young homeless boy so he can buy food. His mates, all from a privileged caucasian bayside background, were surprised witth his actions and he explained that the young guy needed the food more than him or them and that they are someone's son or brother. His mates understood. A good point.

I do find your approach understandable if not always the most en point for timing. To discuss empirical evidence at a time someone is trying to impart their reaction to an emotional event is possibly insensitive to the point that is being made. Philosophy is something I wouldn't mind seeing a thread on. I could see a decent amount of RHPers being challenged by something like that. Maybe you'd consider it? Starting a thread can be a challenge but is always a learning experience. How lovely to hear of such a generous gesture from your son Lily. It can be all too easy to be complacent but obviously he is not. Q, naw, I count my lucky stars the moments my mind and heart are in synch. Can't believe it's Sundee already... Peachy

is so difficult at the moment wiht work taking up more of my time than usual. First weekend I have spent not working and just spending lazing around at home, 'foruming' in my pjs. I pity my friends' notification stream... Lol. Sorry. Great to just chill while it is cold and cloudy outside. However, long hours at work and with kids on holidays, means that I dont have much me time (except for 1 hour gym sessions every night, after work) and most of all.... no time for my fwbs (or meeting new men). I have to notify them to put our meets on hold for another 2 weeks or so until work settles as I may be called over to fly interstate at any moment to sort things out. Just not fair for them but they are very good about it. I miss the touch and intimacy with my lovely fwbs and chats with them. And also my friends.... I will be working hard to regain work-life balance when work settles in 2 -3 weeks....

I'm not a dancer, and so I was not familiar with the term "en pointe". The nearest approximation for me might be my footwork in the boxing ring! (Even that has been a long while now). : ) Anyway, back to the topic at hand: In my post, I had referred to the specifics contained within Qs post which itself did not connote emotion. I did not refer to the specifics of Indy's post. Whilst the circumstances in both Indy's and Q's scenarios were similar, there were a couple of potentially significant differences. In any event, my reread of Indy's post reaffirms to me that that portion of her story (concerning the kids and the ice cream) was not emotive as such (beyond the warm fuzzy feeling of doing a good turn - whether or not the recipient was deserving or grateful). I think it worthwhile to note the pursuit of logic, fact and reason frequently are seriously corrupted/impeded/thwarted by the introduction of emotion. (I believe it is quite well known that emotive argument may be very useful in disarming an opposing advocate for purposes of sophistry - precisely because it may be used to distract and dissuade observation of knowable fact). wrt Starting a dedicated thread: I had considered this, and I did develop something along the lines of a Geoffrey Robertson style Hypothetical. However (some would be pleased to learn), I have some other matters I will need to focus on for the next while. Consequently, I'm not confident I could devote sufficient time and effort to really do it justice. I might bring it out again in a few months' time.

I have previously sought to convey/articulate the importance of teasing apart the discrete components of a case and treating each component/fact/argument on it's merits. Another of the difficulties frequently experienced in attempting to analyse and/or resolve most any matter is the frustrating phenomena/propensity of people conflating issues. This is most particularly the case when emotive factors are brought to bear (whether by deliberate act, or through ill discipline). As an aside, the same principles (wrt emotion) apply to all forms of fighting (including sports such as Boxing, Martial Arts etc).

I wanted to post this on Everything & Anything but couldn't find it, tried searching in a couple of ways but some sort of tech issue so l popped it hear, somewhere broad. Had a meet planned for today, like some kind of miracle. Drove 1 1/2 hr to classy hotel near her, seemed only fair and maybe easier. Prepared the room, massage table, scented candles, scented oils ready, ambient music, shave and shower. And no show, just silence. I know there's lots of things that could have happened, but just silence? So after l've had all the room coffee and been for a walk, l've blown out the scented candles and while cooling to pack up l wonder what to do while putting off packing up in hope. What can you do, it is what it is, l can't change it and did all l could. So with spare some time l'll post a beautiful story that just happened to be about my parents are restored my faith in people a little at the time. I shared this a couple of weeks ago and was the first time l could without crying, only a little of course. I've wanted to post sooner though other things have been posted that were upsetting to the poster at time. From the passing of idols we grew up with, loosing jobs and an unsure future family not accepting lifestyle choice, end of relationships, people being treated inappropriately, trust broken, family being seriously injured and the passing of much loved fellow piers. No doubt there's heaps of other sadness l've missed or not posted but you'll get my gist. So that said, here's something positive. As a kid l remember the beginning of my parents orchid growing obsession, they worked at it in the backyard together perfectly, a true team. No space for backyard cricket etc, yard full of shade and glass houses, of course a clothes line to. They succeeded from the back yard, winning championships and special awards year after year. They cross breed and cloned new plants no one had done before and had plants registered world wide through the London Botany. Along the journey they traveled and displayed at shows all over the world and made friends all over the world all the way. My parents are old school sending Xmas cards and pinning the cards they received to the curtain in the dining room, they would send and receive a couple of hundred each way. Mum fell ill with brain tumor on new years eve, the news had get well card's flowing in from everywhere for weeks like the Xmas cards, then her birthday in February her birthday then Easter, non stop for the postie until after Easter. The postie and the folks were close, he have a cold drink on a hot day or coffee on a cold day with them, take his postie bike up the path to the front door and behind the shrubs enjoy a "lung'a". After Easter he asked dad about all the cards and dad told him about mums terminal illness, he couldn't believe it either. They didn't see much of each for the next few months with treatment and hospital time. Mum pasted away on a Thursday. Numb to it all, phone calls were made to friends of the family between dad, my brother and me. The next day l couldn't talk, my throat locked up as the reality set in. Notice placed in the paper for Saturday. Monday dad was out the front in mum's rose garden and the postie arrived with the new flow of cards, a couple of inches thick. The postie got off his bike and went up to dad, dad put his hand out to collect the cards. The postie stepped forward and gave dad a hug, stepped back, wiped his eyes and said "lovely lady", placed the mail in dad's hand, turned to his bike and continued to deliver the mail. Cheers

I'll take this as a suggestion of 2 things.... 1. I need to stop being a cunt. 2. Time to rephrase.. Lol I can only do 1 of those things, so here's my rephrase. I've been involved now with RHP for some 6 odd years....5 or so of those with the forums. In that time, I've laughed, cried, felt savaged by different perspectives on not only my viewpoints but also my attitude. In that time, I've met beautiful people. I've had sex with some of those people, and desire to do that with more of said beautiful people, and some new people that I meet as well. Safe as always too, so I'll be sure to in and out before their husband gets home from work lol I've also met some people with whom I severely dislike. Some might even say despise, hate, or just random fantasies of squeezing their throat a little lol (btw that was a joke). However...... Never. NEVER have I ever wished to have anyone's voice be smothered, or gagged, or restricted. Because no matter what I think of people on a personal level, I don't feel that their viewpoint is ever any less valid than mine. Sure I'll hang shit on people if I think they're cray cray as fuck, sure I'll disagree and call them a mong......but I'd never want to see that their opportunity to be heard was ever restricted. Nor would those in the past have ever wished that upon myself. However, over those years, the trend has gone from being able to say what's on our mind, have a barney with someone who is different and then get over it, to it being a competition to see who here has the bigger passive aggressive narcissistic personality. This saddens me greatly RHP. It saddens me that we're losing our individuality in our expressions.....we're needing to be more like politicians than people....I feel as though we need to bring back the jelly wrestling pool to sort out our differences, and some just need to harden the fuck up a bit... Anyway I'm out for now.....it angers me that people are being muted for seemingly having a voice, all because one person gets the shits....and I'm sorry but for now, I can't be here. No I'm not deleting my profile either, I'm just going back to Lurking and reading.....I'll mute myself in protest to those who see this as an arena for their passive aggressive crap. - Posted from rhpmobile

I have said it before. I am not a fan of censorship as it stiffles freedom of expression and thought. The censorship we have witnessed lately have been instigated by person (s) who post comments on the forum and yet when people disagree or dispute their 'views', reporting of these messages are made to delete any trace of their contentious views. Hence they save face and keep their reputation intact, undeservedly. These deletions just encourage such bad behaviour among what is supposedly adults on this site. Leave their views up in the forum so these people 's real self, unstable and even at times nasty, are revealed to all. Protecting them just condones their bad behaviour and hypocrisy. Just my view.

I have posted before on this subject (someone with more time on their hands can scroll through my history and find the relevant link lol). From memory, I have previously commented on the nature of vexatious complaints and that the mods may wish to keep some sort of record of how many times some people ask for posts to be removed...or complain about alleged scurrilous posts. It is easy to spot trends, to spot those who become indignant and holier than thou who then may - or may not - run to the mods to lodge a complaint. Don't misunderstand me, that is their right...but how often can that occur without it being questioned?! I would certainly be interested in how often some forum posters run to the mods......and why their requests are always actioned. I think in the interests of fairness to all, a moderator post in a thread which has been "edited" certainly would be worth considering. And to take that idea further......Imagine how interesting it would be if the name of the complainant and the 'offender' was also included in the moderator post. I know, that ain't ever going to happen....but fantasy land is an interesting place ;-)

Quoting 'Summersolstice' The weather is still exactly the same here in Europe as it is in Sydney. Middle of summer no arse. As least I have plenty of good company and booze (in that order, I think) to keep me warm. Gloating over being in Europe and also reminding us that your glorious arse is out of reach.You're an evil woman.

FMR ... I've moved and settled in to my new place and have a full storage unit that's quite expensive so rather than keep the lot there decided to give everything to a couple of ''charitable organisations'' that would generally give the items direct to a very long list of very needy people. Guess again. The first of them shot the eyes out of the very top end stuff and left the rest sitting there. The next took a bit more although left a perfectly good large 'fridge and hardwood dining table and chairs sitting there. The reason was simple...some of was not ''new enough'' to hit their Not-for-Profit stores or to deliver directly to the very needy in our community. I won't name and shame but sure it's endemic and would rather play fair! 'Nuf said... next time I'll just dump it all on eBay then call it square!

A few of us are being censored about the 'vanishing posts'. I wrote a response to Lily's "clean up on isle 4" just a few positings later, and that too has vanished into the never never. I noted that I too had noticed a number of comments suddenly gone missing and wondered what had happened to them. I wonder if this post will make it ? Mods, if you are gong to retract contributors postings, at least have the courtesy to let us know that you have indeed done so, rather than have everyone think we have suddenly moved into a police state.

the forum censoring on here has been happening for ages and probably won't stop. Because this forum can be seen by anyone including non-members the mods are pretty paranoid about what can be seen, things which might discourage more people from joining up. It's really frustrating but previous complaints have never been heeded and I doubt that will change now.

Funny part to the story...the remaining furniture/household goods were in my own informal lounge room and guest bedroom prior to moving house. Translate ''old'' into vintage art deco and/or antique then you're there. Ohhhhhhh well...it may have been too hard for them to price anyway.

Like adults having the ability to understand some of us don't want to see your nasty comments all over the forum about what you think of what ONE forumite is saying. It's been going on for days and I'm sick of seeing it everywhere. I didn't see the argument, wouldn't have even known there was one if people would stop going on about it, and am happy in my ignorance. While I'm here, I was disgusted with the way people kept forcing their opinion on a thread that was posted in support of a forumite who had a recent loss with no regard beyond insisting their opinion was important enough to override what I consider common decency. It seemed to be a personal agenda with the OP. :-( I can't wait for the day people recognise their place in the dramas they perpetuate in the forums. Pffft, Peachy

Thanks so much for such a personal story and I'm sorry for the recent loss of your mum xx Agree Peachy however sadly people who create the drama don't seem to have any self control. And believe that posts are attacks directly against them - rather than what they are which is usually a general observation or the personal opinion of a forumite on a topic. Q I agree however I also believe people have the right to stand up for themselves when they are named or pointed out (not just paranoid) and it's crap they have to suffer the consequences. Meanwhile imbeciles continue to stir the pot - whether intentionally or because they have no filter. I just find it ludicrous that we can talk about the taste of cum and anal stretching but can't call someone out on being shitty.

I totally agreed with the concerns pple expressed with regards to the thread u speak of. It was only yesterday that I happened to read on a complete other unrelated thread that the person in question had permission to copy those personal details. If only they had mentioned that in their opening post all of the rest of it would not have happened in my opinion. Clearly some drama has ensued after that but I have missed it all apart from people referencing it here.

Thank you all so much for your warm thoughts, posts and likes. Gee's Willow you had me blush a little, thanks mate 😃 To clarify though, mum died 3yrs ago. August 1, horses birthday so we wouldn't forget haha. l didn't mention the time as l talking generally and the important and beautiful part of the story is the gesture by the Postie, l mention all the other stuff for context. I remember her each day as anyone dose. I put a lot of photos of her in a large picture frame and talk to her often and when feeling up to it l watch the DVD made for her service, my first and only crack at putting DVD together, it's a ball tear'er. So now l'll take your support with me when remembering her from now on. Interesting thing was 4 months after mum passing my former wife said "my plans don't include living with you anymore". I'm glad mum didn't see or go through the end of that relationship. That's partly how l ended up here, with new friends now. There's something about how the past shapes our future in this perhaps. Cheers

Quoting 'Luck_Dragon' Quoting 'PeachyPearL' While I'm here, I was disgusted with the way people kept forcing their opinion on a thread that was posted in support of a forumite who had a recent loss with no regard beyond insisting their opinion was important enough to override what I consider common decency. It seemed to be a personal agenda with the OP. :-( There was no personal agenda with the OP on that particular thread. Nobody was rude to her or to the person the post was on behalf of, and nobody said anything inappropriate. A couple of people expressed valid concerns related to the nature of the information that was being put out in the public domain, and the OP took those comments way out of context and overreacted in a big way (something btw that she has an extensive history of doing). If people aren't even allowed to express polite, valid opinions on publicly posted threads anymore then we might as well just shut the whole forum down now. I'm also aware that you're friendly with the OP of that thread Peachy and I think your comments on here are affected just as much as the rest of ours by your personal interactions. This is all your opinion Luck. My post is my opinion including the fact that's how it SEEMED to me considering the timing, the interaction at the time and the behaviour throughout the forum since. People did keep posting despite the expressed wishes of the person who the thread was for that they cease. Suggestions were made by me that those posts could have been messaged to the person who it was relevant for in consideration of the seriousness of the possibility but that was pushed aside in favour of some perceived right to keep pressing a point that had already been made. You know what Luck, whatever it is you mean by friendly, I have had absolutely no contact with OP of that thread aside from within the forum. As a matter of fact I am currently blocked by them, I have no idea why and only wonder why. I have had occurrences with them in the forum that we have sorted without the fuss and bother I've been reading about all over the forum. I do appreciate their posts and threads a lot of the time. They show a lot of sensitivity and a sense of fun at times that I appreciate. I ignore some of their posts because I figure there are plenty of others to provide flack. Frankly, I come from the personal experience of having gone through, and seen many others go through the grinder myself, which doesn't usually rely on using many facts. I am sorry that Mooche seems to have been blocked from posting currently, I've had that in the past when I insisted having an opinion RHP had made clear wasn't welcome in the forum, for whatever reason. Luckily it doesn't usually last long. I remember having a bit of fun by changing my name in order to have a conversation one time, lol. I'm not sure of that has been fixed yet. RHP does allow us to have debates. I have had plenty that still exist in the forum including those about moderation in the last few months. They don't just delete posts because people ask either. There needs to be a good reason. I still don't want to have to see the furore all over the forum on threads that have nothing with any of the fuss. Peachy

Quoting 'CandyDelicious' I hope you include yourself in that last point. Hmmm. Actually, I do. I am working against the anxiety that builds the problem more than it needs to be. I am working to build confidence to convince myself I have the right to speak despite having been beaten stupid for it most of my life. I am working with past and recent encounters of how nasty people can be with their accusations and assumptions in the forums. I've chosen to say nothing about the developing issues of people posting stuff on innocent threads that have nothing to do with the fuss at hand despite people apparently feeling entitled to spread their smear campaign without regard to other forumites. I've tried to introduce things to consider, they've been explained away. I don't like drama, it makes me feel sick to the stomach. So, I usually try to avoid it. Today I thought about leaving the forums but decided I had the right and wanted to say something. So, I have. Regarding the other thread, please read my post to Luck. Peachy

Quoting 'CandyDelicious' If only they had mentioned that in their opening post all of the rest of it would not have happened in my opinion. I think people would still have expressed concerns about the airing of some of those details in a public forum, given that there were potential legal issues and apparently a coroner's hearing involved. I believe, contrary to what some do, that it's perfectly acceptable for people to air those concerns on the forum as long as it's done respectfully. People also did privately message the person that the forum was posted on behalf of to discuss it with him. Peachy - yes those are both our opinions and I still think yours is wrong. But, we're never going to agree on some of the issues being discussed here. I note that you have no problems dismissing / minimising the aggressive and bullying behaviour of certain forum members (not just that person), whilst frequently bringing up your disapproval of others who are guilty of much lesser infractions. You can justify it whatever way you want to, the inconsistency doesn't wash with me.

"...If you have an issue with a post or a poster, then please report the matter to us, rather than use a new post to address the other party and more than likely cause further issues which really does not need to be aired publicly to other posters, who no doubt would prefer to read pleasant topics."
