Thread: the political correctness and do gooders have gone too far

Intolerance of disagreement is the problem, not politics. Suppose I called a thread 'The extreme rightwing nutjobs have gone too far'. How long would it last? Yet apparently its OK to go one way, but not the other, according to some people.

Sent from my GT-P5210 using AULRO mobile app

And this is an example of when it begins to turn political.

A non gender specific salutation for moderators would have saved Discovery39 from that dreadful faux pas.

Isn't that roughly where this thread started?

And in this thread of all places!

Is there an infraction for innappropriate gender personal pronoun?

It would have to last a long time and be lots of demerits!

And how many of the peeps in this here Forum actually ask a Mod before they post something?

Some people have asked me on a few posts.
Some I have said "Not a good idea.". Others I have sought confirmation from other moderators.
If you are in doubt, it doesn't hurt to ask.

Am I right in assuming that you have used the salutation "Sir" to imply that I am so far removed from the working classes that I have been added to the list of those to receive a knighthood?

Hahahaha - Team Puce Rises!

Also: yes, you are clearly cloistered away in your inner-city ivory tower, sipping at your bottomless orange mocha frappacino, dreaming up new taxes to levy on the poor miners and strangling the occasional baby. So yes, you're knocking on the door of a knighthood. Better get in quickly though, they're running out the door - you don't even have to do a single day as GG to get one.
