GANGRENE: An apology
I hate to say this, but it's pretty rich to be called an ignorant racist asshole by people who need a written explanation to an admittedly weak but altogether innocently intended pun. I genuinely never thought that anyone would be so paranoid as to infer that there was any racist sentiment or intention in what is so obviously a pun. Ok, perhaps the subject of flesh necrosis is not perhaps the best choice for a pun, and I apologise for that. But nevertheless, that's all it was. Nothing more.
And for anyone out there struggling with the sheer intellectual challenge of simultaneously breathing and reading, might I add that - no, I wasn't implying that all black women have gangrene.
If anyone here finds the concept of gangrene so hideously distasteful as to consider me pathetic (or indeed ignorant) then I apologise unreservedly for the anguish that I have inflicted upon them. I can only hope that my foolhardy actions have not caused any permanent damage to their sensibilities. And I'm hopeful that by calling me ignorant and pathetic,they feel some sort of balance and order has been restored. And I promise from this day forth I shall not discuss the matter of gangrene upon these pages.

I'm disappointed in some of you people, I really am. If you feel moved to distort a perfectly inccocent play on words into a rascist diatribe then that's your own mind at work. Either your own latent racism, or perish the thought... your own stupidity.
Ok, I'm prepared to take "ignorant" and "pathetic" for making a joke about gangrene, but "racist asshole" ?
There are too many racist assholes, as well as all manner of bigots and thugs in the world today, doing and saying all sorts of things. Most of these people are idiots who just jump to ridiculous, ill-informed conclusions based on the absolute nonsense that passes for their thoughts.
Thank God there's no-one like that using these forums.
