Jim,
Never once did I intend my post to be controversial or racist. The race was only mentioned because they were different and that was the intentions of the people (and the remark made by the woman to her kid). I intended it to be no more controversial than the numerous posts about paypal scams, eBay scams, or a whole host of other such posts. This was simply a scam I had never seen nor heard of before.
You are right It had no chip relation, thus I carefully put NCR in front of my post as not to offend anyone. Since Brian was webmaster I have not made ANY political post, yet they still abound, I have posted VERY little and refrained from responding to most post. I only began posting again when David Spragg took the helm. I have posted a few Banknotes which you take no offence to. I am not sure what I can post and what not, since my genuine intentions were to tell about a NEW scam I had never seen used before. That’s all. I never used race in a derogatory way. But race was a part of the scam. I only told what took place and made no comment about the people that were not factual. Funny no one took issue to the word ‘Chinese’, only Black. Maybe we are a bit too sensitive to ONE race that cannot be mentioned any longer.
I may be a lot of things BUT racist is NOT one of them, trust me on that one!! THAT offends ME.
Robert Touts was right…. Sometimes it’s just time to go. I think I have overstayed my welcome.
