I would just like to state categorically, that I am not and have not ever been or ever will be associated with any Loyalist.or paramilitary organisation, as this post seems to imply, whether Mr Tuned In, meant it to be or not. I am deeply offended by the contents of this post, and even in this day and age, it is still dangerous and loose talk, as there are those out there that are daft enough to come to certain conclusions, and draw certain inferences from same. I am also unsettled by the fact that another moderator, has had to step in and edit a fellow mods post.
Some months ago I took the decision not to post on this particular part of the forum, because of things that had been written in the past. I can see now that that decision was the correct one. I am here for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to enjoy and meet people of like mind. I will state once again, that politics is not my game, I am not interested, and want no part of it, for I am not comfortable with it.
For those that are not aware, I perhaps, naively on my part made a suggestion, for what I thought was the betterment and advancement of the forum and mentioned a perceived dirty word, ‘Northern Ireland’, sometime ago. For that I received some unnecessary and unwarranted criticism, the legacy of which still remains today, as you can see. I am all for a bit of banter, but I find this post ridiculing and offensive, and one I cannot laugh along with.
Gentlemen and ladies, I have made the point as simply as I possibly can, feel free to discuss, criticise openly if you wish, as I am sure you will. I can see by the reaction here that I am the only one holding the opinion that this is not funny, and having my name associated with paramilitary symbolism, is unappreciated. I will leave you therefore too enjoy your Ireland forum.
