    Default Formal Complaint

    In keeping with the spirit of the upcoming season I changed my avatar to that jolly gentleman in red, only to have removed.
    This is PC gone mad, and Mr Bracks said we could practise the pursuit of this particular gentleman in schools without being persecuted.
    Replaced with a light globe indeed.

    I can't agree - I've never found the devil to be thought of as particularly jolly :confused:


    In the paper after Brack's pronouncement there was a follow up piece with the Jewish, Buddist and Muslim speaking heads. They all said something along the lines of "we don't care, we all celebrate in our own way - and if its out for Christians then it'll be out for us as well". Personally I detest parts of Christmas - i.e. "jolly Xmas carols" being piped through the shopping centre PA's for 6 weeks prior. Other than that, the "each to there own except when it hurts others" Aussie concept is in the best tradition of a tolerant society.
    Cheers,
    Clinton

    Would have thought as an avatar, it (the avatar that is ) would be too small to offend anyone, but who I am I to argue with a moderator ... mmmm, lucky I kept my T on!

    I'm glad you kept your T on also, else you would end up as "ikki" and I feel sure that would not do you justice at all.
