Most people appreciate a sense of humour in my world it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't taking things seriously. Humans are capable of nuanced thinking.

Hardly fair is it if a touch on the shoulder or a hug is taken as a serious offence ?
I shouldn’t wonder if behind your back your way of dealing with a non sexual gesture isn’t laughed at .

Re: Are Accusations going too far now?
I don't actually like people coming into my personal space and will step back to avoid it and I am not keen on being touched by strangers.I think most people know where their own personal boundaries lay but some may be reluctant to say what that is to those in a senior position to themselves.
What we need to do is teach our families about boundaries, it is a conversation I have already had with my young grandchildren.

Re: Are Accusations going too far now?
Obviously my acquaintances are different to some peoples. Although I am not a touchy feely person, we hug and kiss each others' cheeks. I also love it when my adult six foot grandsons and partners give me a bear hug too. I'll even give my ex and his wife a hug too on the rare occasions we meet.I truly believe that the tide has turned too far with all of these frivolous claims are being made.
