Honestly, he is a nice guy, but he does need to rein it in a little. It's situational with any post by anyone, because something you don't even think of as offensive may be to someone else.

Ok, on edit, I didn't realize he offended another lounge regular, so now I'm kinda on the fence.

I think I will just keep out of it.

And don't want to. But honestly, she doesn't post tremendous volumes, but her posts are always interesting, and she is a class act. If I had to pick between the two, I think HH would not be reinstated. But not up to me, thank God.

It should be locked. IMO, of course.
