No xenophobia or slur intended, and I will delete my post.

But I take exception to you labelling me xenophobic.
My wife's grandad is a little Irish fellow called Patrick but I still manage not to go around calling Irish people "Paddies". The tone of the post made it perfectly clear that the word was being used intending offense Kirk and that is xenophobia... if you don't want to be labelled xenophobic, don't do it?

My post has gone and I've been punished.

As for being labelled xenophobic on here - I really couldn't care less any more. So fire away.
