It pains me to have to bring me this to public attention.

I have to ask you to consider your words when you post. When you post, you are not speaking to a small group of people. Ask yourself what and how you would phrase certain things, if your were speaking in front of a group of 1000 people. In fact, that is what you are doing. And it is even worse, if you consider that your words are being recorded and will be available to anyone who wonders into our house for a very long time.

And now, our stuff is showing up on Goggle on a regular basis.

In our membership, we have people of every race, religion, sex, nationality,cultural background, sexual preference, etc. So almost certainly, because of post(s) like those that were made today,some member(s) were probably offended and this site which I am trying so hard to make a comfortable place for anyone interested in woodworking, is actually less comfortable for some members than it was the day before.

On behalf of the members of North Carolina Woodworker, my apologies to anyone who was offended or should have been.
