Apologies

[jaingorenard]

I'm all for jokes, including offensive ones.

But if there's a rule against politics on the forum then don't be surprised if it's enforced.

As @gubbyduffer says, some of this is particularly divisive stuff. UK and Irish members may well have had family involved on either side, killed, wounded or involved in some other way. I think sometimes some Americans can be liable to forget that it was real innocent people who died in those campaigns.

Personally, I feel if you want to joke about it (or anything), knock yourself out. But don't be surprised if a moderator enforces the rules.

Regarding the political issue between Ireland and the UK. I was unaware of the comments or jokes. And I have to say, I don't like them. Here in Spain, you know that we have territorial fractures. And the innocent, they get the worst part. So I apologize for jumping the gun, without knowing the bottom line.

A nice gesture, and I think we can put a bow on this one.
