Why oh why are so many people 'offended' these days? It's pathetic imho.
I'm with the OP on this one. It's a punting forum FFS not a school classroom.
Get a grip.
People have always been offended, it's just that the offenders were in the majority and the offended were oppressed the minority. The rules prevent racist and homophobic speach on here. I'm old enough to remember such speach on mainstream media, particularly comedy.
If we're going to protect speach based on race and sexuality, why not extend it to the other groups.
Why would you want to encourage hate speach against the disabled?
Especially once you're aware it's hate speach!
Hobbit was grumpy in his response, perhaps because he was offended, but I value his contribution from his knowledge of that community
