Well, this seems to have blown out of all proportion while I have been away!
Firstly apologies for lighting the blue touch paper and retiring, if only real ships were as unproblematic as ShipSim ships (or if they could at least be switched off the way ShipSim ones can!)
Marty / Fred, point taken about the asterisks.
Marty, my response to your initial post was more because I was shocked that you thought Ken's first post was offensive than to try to defend my choice of language.
It horrifies me that people cannot have a laugh about things any more, everyone is so busy tiptoeing around the sensibilities of others that they are terrified not only to speak their minds, but also to poke a little fun at people.
Things are only offensive if you take offence, unfortunately we seem to be living in a climate were we are surrounded by the professionally offended, and they seem to dominate internet forums, while i understand that this forum is the public face of VStep and that the moderation policy has to reflect that I would urge you not to pander to the professionally offended, in my experience it just leads to more people being more outraged more often over smaller and smaller things.
Ken, don't worry about your post getting me into trouble, I am more than capable of getting myself into trouble without any help!
So can we all go back to having some fun now?
