Probably neither, as I think the context was explained in post #14. The reason I'm butting in here is that I once said something similar on another Notts board. As I recall, someone had made a comment that was blatantly stupid, and I said "anyone who agrees with that should be sectioned". It was just a throwaway comment on my part at the time, but it upset someone who was dealing with mental health issues. I accepted that my choice of words was poor and tried to learn from it, but I really didn't mean to offend anyone.
