Hi Celia,

I am sick with the flu, which has left me too week to contribute. I can muster enough strength, however, to beg you not to leave the forum. Your work is fantastic, and I enjoy your comments.

Please, don't leave. I, for one, will miss you.

Warmest regards,
Neal

Michael, I was referring to one picture, as I clearly stated in my post. I did not mention anything about a website, did I? Nope. I mentioned one picture in particular, and I still fail to see what is so horrifying about Jesus holding a dinosaur. It wasn't biting him and it's hardly derogatory to anyone with a normal sense of humour. For pity's sake man, grow up.
I also never mentioned anything about any other religion, merely stated that I found the image I referred to amusing, even though I was Catholic. And I certainly shall make no comment on the Mafia, lest you jump to some malformed conclusion about that as well, and suddenly accuse me of being in league with anti- Christian Al Pacino's. Heaven forbid.

It was unclear to me from the start here, why there were no young people on this forum, or very few at least. Now I see why. You're not allowed have an opinion on here in case it upsets somebody. Freedom of expression has been banned til further notice. Beware the Christian Photoshoppers from the planet Zurg.

Steve, I think the world of you and I shall continue to read your books with glee and all due adoration. But I regret to say that this is just the silliest pile of shit I've ever witnessed, and I'm bowing out of this forum. I've had a great time here, and met some lovely people who actually have a sense of humour. Please send up a flare when the older dinosaurs have become extinct, and there's room for some free speech here again.
Thank you for all your kind comments and hints on my work.

Celia

Michael, Celia, Jota, Lexus....

I've been out of action for a couple of days, and it's a pity because I should have weighed in earlier on this one.

We've had occasions in the past when spats have broken out in the forum, and they've always healed over. But while they're going on, they do cause bad feeling and harsh words are written, frequently in haste.

If any of you have a problem with an image that's been posted on this site, please contact me in the first instance rather than posting a complaint directly. It just stirs up more bad feeling and never puts an end to the issue. Michael, we respect your religious views, but you must also respect the fact that this is not a Christian website and does not need to conform to your moral framework, however strong your beliefs may be. Lexus responded with maturity and responsibility in taking down his image immediately, but Michael, your subsequent comments criticizing an external site and somehow linking the images to this one were uncalled for.

Celia, if you were to leave the forum because of this I'd be absolutely distraught. You've added tremendously to the life of the forum since you joined, and I'd hate for you to think you had to go because free speech is somehow banned here. This is not the case. No forum member has the right to censor images posted by another. Please don't make this a choice between you and Michael. You're both valuable members of the forum and your views are equally recognised.

Michael, shake hands with Celia. Celia, shake hands with Michael. Jota, give them both a hug. Lexus, keep on challenging us.

I have written a personal message to Celia (an apology) asking her to come back, but I'm worried that she is not going into the forum at all.

I can only apologise for any bad feeling I might of caused by my hastily written repostes. It is an irony that we are all untied my one thing on this site: a love of Photoshop!

Michael

And that is supposed to be a good thing !?

I have to confess to enjoying it for a while - although I never saw the appeal of Phoebe ...

The "I'll Be There for You (Rembrandts song)", does something for me. Pity maybe it got played so often.

Well okay when people get rich and famous they do often turn sour etc, but the show was definately a success.
Even if it does take AGES watching through all the seasons... heck ive spent the last month watching every season of Home Improvement and I'm only on season 4

I just re-purchased the DVD set now (thanks to the cheap Zavvi deal!) and have managed to get through 3 seasons in about 2 days!

It still makes me laugh!

I like Morse, so where does that put me? Defintely grumpy old man . Actually I think Friends are fine, but never have the time to watch.

I'll borrow Born2Run's DVDs when he's finished
