Nice one ELCheapo.
I read the old thread and got to thinking though. (this is in no way related to the earlier thread), about the modern way of not offending anyone. Specifically, the work environment.
By the time I was 21 I had my parentage read to me on a number of times, sometimes deserved, sometimes not. The air was always clearer afterwards and I knew where I stood and who had problems with me and what they were.
It's not like that anymore in the workplace and I think we are worse off for it
