Kabir.
No idea why the PC thread was closed to be perfectly honest with you so feel free to comment.
Maybe I should go read the rules on what is acceptable to say and what is not acceptable. I have been part of the forum for too many years and must admit I havent read the rules in a while.
I fully support our moderators and the fact that swearing as a whole is not accepted on a family friendly forum. We all know and accept this.
I wonder if it was anything in my posts that prompted the thread to be closed.
Please feel free to outline why and where and then feel free to delete/close this thread.
Now back to the topic at hand.
What does PC mean in terms of actual law.
We know that it is not P.C. to be racist. While the majority of us humans are all a little bit racist we mean no harm by it. I would never be knowingly racist to cause distress or to abuse someone but within being myself and how I was brought up and by modern standards I am racist when it comes to going to the corner shop or to a chinese restraunt.
This does not make me a bad person or indeed in the wrong its just PC rules made up by someone reacting to a situation that could possibly arise.
Now add that PC rule to a female point of view and you have PC being stupid. Yes women should not be abusive or sexually harressed in any shape or form but a little old guy calling a woman in the street Love or Darling is exactly the same but depending on each persons point of view its either right or wrong.
And so the examples go on. I have not really heard of many instances where a Male has used PC to enforce a rule against a female. I suppose we have all heard of the sexual harrasment cases now and then but how much of that is true or is it being blown out of proportion. I guess unless we are party to a harrasment case ourselves we may never know.
So can anyone really say or come up with the facts of what PC actually is or is it just a set of unwritten rules and ideas and two words used to explain these.
Politically Correct what does this mean in terms of actual law.
Or is it the same as using the words Spin Doctor. This was never a term until poloticians started using it. Or was it the media that started using it.
Oh and Kabir I didnt actually swear in my post on the first PC post I was merely pointing out that some of the PC dicussion was a load of old rugby and foot balls. All different shapes and sizes of opinions.
But I suspect you took it as something else.
And I’m done.

Alright,
First and foremost, I am not going to get into a habit of explaining each instance on why a thread was closed publicly. I cannot spare that much time. If you do feel it’s highly necessary to know why a thread was locked PM me, and if my actions require justification I will answer you without hesitation. Otherwise, you know where the Webmaster option is.
Merlin the thread was not closed on your account. The thread had become complete dribble (like so many) and again and again the forum’s rules were not just being flouted but questioned (Jim’s last post, going philosophical against the rules won’t go anywhere). I don’t know how many times this has to be repeated but this forum is under private ownership and unnecessarily questioning or challenging or asking for a justification of the CoC is not just my waste of time, but yours as well.

No, I think if Kabir T is honest, and I see no reason why he shouldn;t be, IT WAS MY FAULT.Don’t blame yourself, no doubt if I were only a 25yrs old, I would do the same.
As the saying goes, “A Mods got to do, what a Mods got to do” 😉

Arthur possibly not but it was right after I posted so was just asking the question.
Might just ask Kabir to lock or delete this one too.
To be honest there is a lot to say about PC but its all just swings and roundabouts with everyone with different opinions.

Yes, Arthur – that as well.

Perhaps it was closed because it had degenerated into nonsense – as so many threads seem to.
Merlin3945, I don’t think it was you that caused the thread closure.

Perhaps it was closed because it wasn’t going anywhere…..:)
