A bunion (hallux valgus) is a sometimes painful structural deformity of the bones and the joint between the foot and big toe. A bunion is an enlargement of bone or tissue around the joint at the base of the big toe (metatarsophalangeal joint). The big toe may turn in toward the second toe (displacement), and the tissues surrounding the joint may be swollen and tender. Today the term usually is used to refer to the pathological bump on the side of the great toe joint.

Often time's people claim, "take it to e-mail". Which is not a good solution, because some people offer up fake e-mail address or such to avoid spammers. Or the person complaining thinks that Flame Wars or Off Topic Discussion should be to taken to e-mail or another forum. This is not good as the person who you have a problem with is now evolved more in your life as they are now e-mailing you but others don't see the issues.

This is a function which we do not facilitate at the moment, because we are of the view that all posts should be carefully thought out and consciously made, rather than to post something in the haste and heat of the moment, and regretting it later. This helps to promote responsible behaviour on the forums, and minimises disputes and misunderstandings.
