Shane,

I think you are right. After sleeping on this thing, I'll say that some of
my posts were probably over the top. As a professionally qualified airframe
fitter, I guess the knowledge that my direct actions could potentially leave
500 bodies strewn over several miles makes me over sensitive to such things.

The fact remains though that the original post was not in the slightest bit
funny.

That's "smart-arse" (Australian and English version) or "wise-ass"
(American).
Not really related to a "wisecrack", although a smart-arse could certainly
make a wisecrack.

As far as sueing anyone is concerned, that's up to you....assuming that the
station was German, of course.

Insofar as Monty Python sketches about the disabled being a "big thread", I
really can't say.....the only one that comes readily to mind is the knight
in "Search for the Holy Grail", although I'm sure that there were other
examples.

We can agree that in your original post that you were being sarcastic about
wings in Formula One, certainly.  It won't, however, change my opinion that
you were being insensitive in what you wrote.  And it's not that I either
don't want to switch viewpoints or try to understand them.  From where I sit
there isn't any alternative viewpoint.

My favorite Python routine was the twit Olympics. Twits gad to do things
like jump over matchboxes and the like. Of course, you have to have a sense
of humor to enjoy stuff like that.

Of course.
But "senses of humour" are like one's idea of beauty....they are to
individual tastes.

........and the contest  "Wake up the neighbors" ......hilarious! :))
Finally, he shoots himself after missing the tied up rabbit several times!
Mean, mean, mean, yup, you really either love it or turn away in disgust!

Well, perhaps they too went a little bit too far with the last
challenge of the tournament, were they had to shoot themselves...
Thankfully they missed :)

No need for apologies Markus, some people just have a sense of humour
failure or can't accept that people have the right to say whatever
they like. Of course you in turn also have to accept that others will
also say what they like in response, but it's not a reason to
apologise.

No amount of claiming the m***high ground will change what happened.
