Yes, i hear what you're saying.. and i think that even tho the ppl in question meant no harm by what they posted in your fellowship, it was interpreted differently by Fencer. I find that understandable, but feel that he also needs to realize the way that our various cultures react to different issues.

I can state another example.. in Thailand, they really frown upon public displays of affection. I was talking to my husband about it as we were driving with his sister and brother-in-law, and they about had an accident when my husband reached over and publically showed his affection for me. He and i can laugh off the differences in culture.. and perhaps that needs to be done with the comments made in your fellowship. I'm well aware that something one culture might find humorous, isn't felt the same by all of the rest.

Know that i've also been on the other end of sexual harassment.. i'm not saying that's what occured in your fellowship, as i don't know what exactly was posted.. but those of us who have dealt with it, tend to put up our defenses rather quickly.
