Quite unecessary in my view,we don't know that Cy and Kerrin were offended.The ones that were need to man up and accept this is a public forum and not everyone is going to see it the same way.Its no different from sitting in the bar down the pub or in the smoko/crib rooms at work,people have a different point of view,thats how it is.The use of the emoticons could maybe have been curtailed,but no-one should have to apologise for having a different opinion. IMHO!
