Don’t worry about it mate.

I do understand how it could be seen as contradictory, but if you think about it, the issue of my dad’s criminal activities has nothing to do with site allocation.

Now, if I were to have claimed that Romani people committed no crime at all _then_ told the story about my dad, I’d be contradicting myself.

Of course, I’d then point out that the case was thrown out so he was _technically_ innocent.

Anyhoo, tell you what, if we ever meet at a Dopefest I’ll be more than happy to share a pint or two with ya.

Does this thread win an award for most hijacks?

Um…if N’Sync were black, they wouldn’t be performing in blackface…hence, it wouldn’t be offensive.

If it’s nominated for an award for “Best and most informative hijack of a thread that started out as a really lame snivel”, count on my vote!
