Whiffey, I agree that I might be wrong about Newsdesk.
Newsdesk, I apologise if you are not Minter. However, some of your postings led me to this conclusion.
However, I think the posting was rude. All alfieblue has said that it is good to be able to get rid of the very inappropriate and unnecessary replies that have been all over this site lately, in threads that are genuine (even if banal!)
Yes, it's great that this site caters for all tastes and we can keep away from the postings we don't like. Alfie, like a lot of us keeps away from areas of the site or threads he/she finds offensive and doesn't comment.
Is it too much to expect that people keep their abusive and smutty comments away from inoffensive threads rather than ruining them for others. There are plenty of areas on here that they can play in together happily without causing problems.
I hope Alfieblue comes back. I for one love chatting with her on the A&N topic.
