If it is about the ones I think it is I already did but another protest couldn't hurt.

Is it me who caused the offense. After someone recently said that Val Doonican would soothe their AF, I replied that he'd give me AF. I did wonder whether that would be offensive to Val Doonican lovers.

I hope it isn't you Koll ..we need a sense of humour on this site...and we live in a country where freedom of speech is important...Val himself had a sense of humour and broad shoulders!

Not koll

We will all be searching for Val Doonican now Hidden to Report or Like as we see fit!

There was an offensive rant a couple of days ago which rambled so incomprehensibly that to my mind it failed to hit the mark.

It is sometimes worth catching posts that are outrageous before they are removed as they can be hilarious and as Rothwell says humour is an asset.

Ha ha no Koll

Well, I did grow up with 'Paddy McGinty's goat' but I'll forgive you. 😁

So that's where he got his jumper from 😄

Really can't guess but there is one member who's posts I never read for fear of answering and encouraging further posts. I did report this person a while ago and they were quiet for a while..

Koll. we all need a sense of humour but I did once get reported for one of my jokes which was not appreciated . Admin thought it hilarious but had to "admonish me".

Hello all

I have received several reports over the weekend! I wonder if they were aware I'd be out of the office! One "member" who I suspect was a troll has been banned, and the other has been warned. Thank you all for reporting to me. This is very much the best way to deal with any concerns without causing distress to other users.

Thank you again

Rachel - AF Association - Patient Services Associate

Thankyou
