I hate cencorship. But do agree that anything that is obviously intended to offend or incite hatred and/or violence should be banned. But the key thing here is tone.

I used to work in construction and worked for a while in London in the early 1990's so I was often called "Mick" or "Paddy" and had a few Oirish jokes thrown at me. I can accept that because it was done in good humour, there was no malice and the Irish have an irreverant sense of humour and an ability to laugh at ourselves that some people just don't have.

I had no problem being called "Paddy" but that changed if it was "Oi you thick Paddy!" or something similar.... So, for me tone is everything in most cases...

I think if it isn't racist or homophobic (to the extent where it is spreading or encouraging hatred or violence) then pretty much anything is fair game. If someone doesn't like it they don't have to laugh at it or pass it on, but to stop other people with a different sense of humour laughing at it is a little too PC and 1984 for me. That is just my personal opinion for what it's worth.

I don't know what offended Basil and Quartz (I didn't see it) but I fully respect both their rights to be offended and I compliment Wayno on deleting the offending item/s.

I hate political correctness.

It grows more and more stifling with each passing day.

Seriously though RaM - if you don't tip taxi drivers how in hell will they continue to provide all the little extras we so enjoy??

Who is going to pay for all that unnecessary rudeness, the surly attitude, the requisite smell of urine and sweat, the compulsory refusal to go anywhere they "don't fancy", and the huge ammounts of unwanted bollix talk about having had "That Jamie Feekstone in me cab only last week, Guv - bloody pervy wanker he was an' all..."

That stuff don't come free you know!!

Ooh - **** on the warpath now!!! Hard hats on! :shock:

:wink:

At the end of the day, if people are offended, then they're offended. Its not political correctness or censorship - which is a wider issue - its an emotional and personal reaction, often with good reason. After all, wasn't that why Pancho was banned from here? Everyone knows that this is an easy going forum and Quartz and Basil are easy going members. But somethings obviously hit a nerve and we should respect that. 8)

I have not commented on this since it happened but Pancho was banned for being personally abusive about a personal matter - the mods on this site chose to ban him and I applaud them for there stance as I believe that when boundaries are truly crossed they act accordingly.
