The thread was locked ..but let me say that the "racist" (LMAO) comment I made was actually a very popular Simpson's quote..so I'll assume that in an attempt to not be a hypocritical whack-job, the person who posted the accusation has already written numerous letters to the producers of the show complaining about the script and is as we speak rallying the masses to boycott any further episodes. Aren't you? Why, it would only be the right thing to do as you seem SO passionate about this issue. Please, do let us know how the battle goes.

Yep, I was following the thread, GoldBerry.
We live in a PC world, no comments like that or you could start another verbal war!
Good job half these people don't live near me, they would have convulsions with the comments people make in the UK. We aren't racists, we are normal people with a sense of humour! Everyone is fair game, as we are also.
It seems so easy to hit a nerve nowadays! But some things need saying, especially if it is a Simpsons' quote! |

Actually, I did want to post some replies on the topic of business cards, and was irked to see yet another post locked. If the sc had a problem with a small amount of posts, then perhaps they should have been removed instead of locking a very useful business thread.
FWIW, I've complained about racists posts before, and didn't see anything offensive in the last post... but there is a very fine line and I can sympathise with both sides. |

In your defense, GoldBerry, I agree that cries of "Racism!" should be made very carefully.
Real racism is ugly...accusations of it shouldn't be used as a debate-tactic. |

...and yeah, what the heck? A few poopy posts shouldn't be cause to lock a whole thread with such great information! |

I thought the thread was interesting than all of a sudden I was a no-talent-bragging-hag to summarize the comments (being told to pony-up or shut-up..how eloquent).
Anyway, if you guys want to keep talking about business cards, feel free to use this thread. I think it was educational.
LOL
DPC is the best bang for your buck! (it's free).

Oh Oh! I can't be certain (I've a short attention span) but I do believe that the 'sc' who did the locking was apart of the group doing the finger-pointing posting. I guess I could double check, but I'm a lazy Canadian. |

I locked the thread precisely because it devolved into a lot of back and forth that had no longer anything else to do with business cards. It was clear where it was going - but why embrace the inevitable.
If you all want to still talk about business cards, I'll unlock the thread. For now, this thread is pointless.

You can check and post all you want because the original thread is unlocked and the "offending" posts hidden instead.
Please try to keep the discussion to business card designs though ... : )
BTW: I'm just reporting; I did no locking or unlocking or anything ... |
