It has come to my attention that something I wrote on the forum yesterday has offended someone (possibly even more than one person), but the thread is locked and so I cannot offer my apologies there. Having slept on the matter, I have reached the conclusion that it would not be wrong to start another thread - not to reopen the can of worms, but to sincerely apologise for my thoughtless post. While it may be true that my intentions were good-natured joking and a direct reference to an earlier post in that thread, with the value of hindsight it is easy to see that there was the possibility of it being read entirely differently. As I explained to the moderator who kindly brought this to my attention, I am from an inter-racial family myself and having seen firsthand the effects of racial discrimination, and so should be more sensitive than most towards others regarding racial comments. Please forgive me for my lack of foresight. I certainly did not mean to hurt anyone and am sorry that I did not consider my words more carefully. It won't happen again.
