Apologies to all who were offended, and also to the forum itself.

Earlier today, I started a thread "What Rolex would Jesus wear"

I want to unconditionally apologise to all who were offended.

It was not meant in any way to be disrespectful.

. . . That being said, I can more than see, how badly the thread could have gone.

Again - Unconditional apologies to all.

Yeah...religion and politics or probably two subjects to steer clear of on any forum as a rule.

Welcome by the way.

I stayed away from that thread as my thoughts are the same on this as 1mlc - religion and politics should be avoided.

I believe that I myself has offended quite a few members by using PM to ask about several watches and am checking myself to make sure I don't do it again.

I guess it shows how decent our members are that it didn't catch fire. On youtube there'd be murders in the comments section.

Also, one of the mods is an actual g*d. If he had seen it first thou would hath been smiteth.

No, Eddie. They came much later. We used Aramaic in those days.

I thought it was silly. It jazzed up the forum a little. Next time put a picture of a drsd or red sub in your thread and it will go under the radar.
