We all saw it, and didn't say anything. We've all been down the language police road before. Try and comment on something more interesting when you make your third post. Just some friendly advice.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

Sounds rather unfriendly, IMO...as do most of your posts slapping the hands of newcomers. What a welcome.

Yeah we all saw it. It was only a matter of time before someone made a crack about it -- especially when Nadia sorta dodged the real humor in her sentence with her response (intentional or not).

Nonetheless, it was a pretty amusing line. Made me think of the song "I am my own Grandpa".

But I can't believe you'd go after a new poster with your "friendly advice" that she post something "more interesting" next time. Completely inappropriate comment.

I guess you think you're the Forum Nanny now who gets to decide what's fair game for discussion/comment and what's not and educate the newcomers accordingly? ROTFLMAO

Lighten up. Ice out will be here soon enough and you can rid yourself of your apparently bad case of Cabin Fever!

Gee, I'm so sorry. Sorry to politely write to a new member that one of their first couple of post's criticizing someone's English usage isn't something interesting, or polite for that matter. I guess I have to watch what I say, whatever I say.

I'll defend Pineeedles. Having met him at FF, I found nothing about him offensive. I believe that like myself and many of you here on the forum, we occasionally post something that comes out not quite how it was meant. Now chill a little PN.

Ok,while the discussion is still civil, maybe we should end it. Have we learned nothing from past experience??? Seems like the pot is simmering, but not far from a boil over....
I saw the husband/ father thing too. And, of course (although her intention was clear) had a hard time not commenting. But managed to take a pass.
I, for one, love when things explode into all out war...but not in this spot, and CERTAINLY not with the players involved here.
