    But the funniest quote about Decorum...

    concentrate on

    Social decorum sets down appropriate social behavior and propriety, and is thus linked to notions of etiquette and manners.
    it should not be too confusing then but bet it will be...

    as for the name and shame...

    your right, i personally didn't till just now realise it was their name and thus a prime breach of the name and shame rules... and did not know about the thread until it was reported.

    so that begs the question, why didn't you report it if it looked like it was a name and shame?

    so into the bin it will go in due course.

    In this instance, as a "Mod" posted the thread it was more fun to have a little laugh within it.

    As for appropriate social behaviour...

    There was no swearing bypassed, no outlandishly racist remarks, nor any threats of harm to another person.

    There was, ribbing of another party based on demographic.

    And some silly jokes around said stereotype. I never even used the basic terms so those who chose to find offence most likely had to google the terms before they knew what they even were...

    I understand its your place Inc.. Thats fine by me...

    But I'm guessing some friendly sledging goes on at your BBQs between you and your mates...

    There was no full blown aggression in this thread - but plenty directed on the facebook page it linked to.

    I'm first to admit that I'm (very) rough around the edges... But you'll always know where you stand... Makes me pretty genuine doesnt it...

    Its these softer members of society, who think "havin' a laugh" shouldn't be allowed any more. Or that it must be a "proper" laugh.
    They are bringing our society to the "Beige" conformist PC level.

    I'm sure the man from the East island of NSW will agree as well.

    Sorry, been asleep. Absolutely, (and yes i did have to google it). Besides, there hasn't been a good square off on here since the now famous Drivesafe v WrinkleArthur(?) Electrical Charging face off of 2010, and frankly this pales next to that epic spat.

    As for name and shame, I'm not sure how that applies. Everything we referred to on here was already out in the public domain.

    Perhaps instead of worrying about decorum, we should instead ponder Inc's tagline.

    that makes little difference as a defense

    no one said it was extraordinary, just that it was a little less than ordinary actually..

    such is life

    "My masters, are you mad, or what are you? < This bit must be referring to Mods and Owner Have you no wit, manners nor honesty, but to gabble like tinkers at this time of night? <That bit must be me and Kiwi ...Is there no respect of persons, place nor time in you?" <Plenty... But I like to have a good Roasting as well
    No name and shame, it was only about a comment on their FB site about LRs, so not an attack on the business, just their comments and ignorance.
