Recently a thread was closed by Bill Fernie and I have some doubts as to this action!
The thread was about a word, and I shall use it a little more loosley and that word was............
....Tinker.....
It seems that Gleeber decided to complain about the a word and suddenly Bill decides to lock it.
For the 3rd time in a few weeks, I have to agree with John Little that only when these matters are brought out in the open, do people understand the folly of their ways and prejudices.
The thread is there for reference and perhaps those not afraid of commenting should do so......
I was born and brought up in Caithness in the 50/60's and know full well that there are certains issues that must go away, but to decide not to discuss them like civilized beings solves nothing.
It is interesting to read about Gleeber's absolute disgust and how he feels it is so derogatory, and then in the next post he asks for someone from that 'Background' to comment....
Methinks he is the one that is painting people with the same brush. So Gleeber thinks that 'they' have a different background than us! So now 'they' are singled out!
I for one didn't think so. We all went to school together, and all sorts of names were thrown about.... including anyone who lived in a house that burned peats...were called 'Peat Smell'!
I just thought that I would make a point here/ Obviously Bill Fernie does an excellent job with the Org., and can cut anything off. But to learn we must be educated, and some discussion tends to do that.
Did I know that to dump a 45 gallon drum of oil near a well would contaminate same....there are so many examples of matters of this nature..... it is open if anyone wants to comment.
