Thread: Interesting, Odd or Funny Pics.

The length of my attendance and post count really is irrelevant to this discussion. I fully understand that if my post offended anyone that it should be deleted. Like I said in a previous post, it's the lack of communication and courtesy that I don't agree with. If a post is deleted the person posting should be sent a PM advising them of such and the reasons why. They would then be informed and this would limit any further unacceptable posts. The comment that I made was a fair comment. If I had 1,000 post count, I still wouldn't know how the forum was moderated until I had a post deleted, and I would still think it was uncourteous.
It just happened to me in the first couple of posts.

In relation to the pic of the Police Car, if anyone was offended by it's posting, I apologize. However one cannot be responsible for how a picture is interpreted and it definitely cannot be be assumed that the poster implied anything. If this was true you would have to assume that it was implied that the poster of posts #721 and #816 found it "Funny" that these people where involved in a motorcycle crash. (Injuries unknown)
Or #801, that it was "Funny" to have your entire home fall into a sink hole.
I think not.

(Sorry spudboy, no offence intended.)


You won't find many on this forum with a higher respect for Police Officers than me. I served 12 years in the Victoria Police, six of which in the traffic branch, and 4 years as a Federal Agent with the AFP in Counter Terrorism. The two members involved in my deleted pic are personal friends of mine whom I worked with for many years, one of which gave me the pictures of the crash. As you can imagine, I don't like sharing my work history in a public forum, but felt the need to on this occasion to avoid being labeled as a Cop hater.

Not causing any trouble. Just posting to clarify.

Cheers,

Frank
