Hello Sam. I come in peace. Are we still friends prior to my response below? Hope so...

Hey Sam I would agree with Kate's post below. In my opinion "ladyboy" is usually used to poke fun at transgenders so its a little bit of a sensitive area. Also you may have got an infraction as it may have been deemed ignorant and offensive to label Gina this.

If Im honest I disagree with these sorts of comments because they are just being used to mock somebody's appearance, and thats not my taste.

Hope things are well

Here we go. Right, I have to be honest and say that yes it could be deemed offensive. Sites have to be very very careful in these days of PC correctness ( it goes too far in some ways to the point of being ridiculous but unfortunately we all have to adhere to it ) I wouldn't contest the warning or infraction tbh. I once made a comment about an Irish celeb and labelled him a leprechaun. I was pulled up for it and felt terrible afterwards. Hadn't meant to cause offence, in my eyes I was just being funny, but I could see it wasn't a good thing. I'd never do it again. You're a great poster Sam, nice chap, witty and funny. I hope you don't mind my honest response. Pm me if you want to chat more.

Am trying to reply to you Sam but my phone is acting up.

I didn't make it, I am no good at the sort of thing, it was made by member Kazanne She is brilliant! You can use that one, we are all putting them in our sigs.

Ok mate sorry about that.

I am doing ok horde. Just up in Edinburgh at the special blood clinic to try to stave off a blood disorder. Don't need luckehmia after beating pancreas and colon cancer. Lol. I'm more than likely to get kicked off now for my post on the sam battering post. Lol never mind. Thanks for your thoughts but **** happens.

Hi sampvt, I just read that you were on a hospital bed and came to post asking if you were okay, reading just Kate's first sentence in the post below gave me that answer. I hope you get better, you might be ruthless in your BB arguments but you add a lot to the board and even though we disagree a few times, I feel we respect each other as members.

Just my little input. Happy wishes!

I didn't know you had cancer Sam, bless you I think that on here, well on the internet in general really, you just never know what is going on behind the scenes and what people have to contend with. People have goes at each other and just don't think what lies beneath, I am as guiilty as anyone, I have been harsh with people and then later discovered stuff that made me feel really bad. When we had that thread on here recently where people told how they really are, started by Conzors, that opened my eyes to a lot. Made me realise that whilst some people are just naturally unpleasant (sad fact of life) most are not. You keep your chin up.
