Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Helen, once again, if you allow me, I think both Migeru and ceebs were having a good snark, and nothing is to be taken seriously. I know by hard learnt experience that one sometimes reacts in a genuine, emotional way to a comment that was ironical but meant no harm. In French we call it "second degre".
I do understand how you may have felt, as I tend to take things much to heart myself.
See Sven's comment.

I can only appologise for myself, at times I can be an excessively piss taking bastard, and at the moment am feeling guilty and a little insensitive. My only excuse is that I spent much of the morning dealing with some rather extreme femenists, and so had my respect for other peoples feelings dialed right back after that sesion, and unfortunately people around me occasionally catch the edge of my sense of humour, I should probably stay away from the internet in cases like that.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
