" It's getting almost impossible to post anything on these pages without the forum police jumping all over it, waiting to pounce on anybody that doesn't adhere to their own politically correct rules or dares to use incorrect grammar, or God forbid, misspell a word!...... Nothing positive to add to a post?....then jog on and leave the op alone. (Posted this on a thread but thought it warranted one of its own)" Welcome to the forum police - you clearly have the right attitude to be a member: telling people what they can and cannot say on their forum posts. | |||

"You say politically correct, I say respecting others. If someone says something -ist on here then I'm going to call them on it. You post on a forum, you're going to have to put up with people not agreeing with you." Someone always says it better than me, and in fewer words! | |||

"I think many people who post here at times totally lack self awareness (and yues I include my self in that), it's so easy to slae posters for behavioral traits that we are also guilty of displaying" I agree. I've even caught myself reversing my position on certain things (oh, the humanity!!), but if I have a problem with a post, its with the post. I don't go and insult the poster. | |||

"You say politically correct, I say respecting others. If someone says something -ist on here then I'm going to call them on it. You post on a forum, you're going to have to put up with people not agreeing with you." This. There is no rule about questioning posts and there is no rule that we all have to agree. As long as posts are within the rules I don't see the issue. And other than the mods no one has the right to tell other posters to 'jog on' | |||

I quite agree about comments about spelling and grammar. Can you tell me what you mean about PC attitude though? If I see something racist, or sexist, or homophobic or misogynist I have to 'jog on' - is that what you are telling me? | |||

I'm sorry, you mean I have to agree with a point of view I find offensive? That ain't going to happen I'm afraid. I'm not here to validate archaic sentiments. | |||

No need to pull people up over grammar and spelling I agree there but if someone disagrees with your attitude I feel they should be able to say so without being called forum police. | |||

"Well I would never make a comment about someones spelling or grammar (unless it's an obvious autocarrots that makes me laugh). If someone posts something that I think is objectionable about another member; I will call them out.... because its playground and we are supposed to be adults. If I have a differing view of something from the thread starter; I may comment; if they have invited "opinions", but too often in here if you don't have the same opinion as the crowd you get called a "white knight", or "too PC" or even...... wait for.... part of the forum police..... ...which leads me to one conclusion, either follow the crowd or get slated and called names.....

I think the thread was closed by the moderator. I don't think talking about it here is a good idea, because it is like re-opening it. I don't think any further discussion will shed any light as people will become more entrenched in their own views. More to the point, insults will begin to fly, again. | |||

I'm all for free debate but when the initial point of a thread is lost because of any of the above it really is tedious it's because you dare use the words "politically correct"and "jog on" people can't get past that and see your making a valid point about people being petty over spelling and grammar I'm pretty sure the original post the OP is referring to had nothing at all to do with grammar and spelling and everything to do with people objecting to the use of an unnecessary word. I disagree: "Dares to use incorrect grammar , or God forbid, misspell a word!......" From the opening post If you're going to quote it, quote it all: "waiting to pounce on anybody that doesn't adhere to their own politically correct rules or dares to use incorrect grammar, or God forbid, misspell a word!......" And the OP refers to posting it in a another thread, which ended up being about an unnecessary word, nothing to do with spelling or grammar. Someone did pull the OP about the incorrect use of a word, except/accept if I remember correctly. Back to your comment that it became all about an 'Unnecessary' word, the OP was merely describing the person who harassed them, using your train of thought why was it necessary to point out that it was a man?.....does this make the OP sexist as well as racist?" Not that I saw the post in question, confusing accept and except is not poor grammar or spelling. They are 2 different words with 2 very different meaning. Obviously depending on context it may have been clear what was meant anyway | |||

"I think threads are for debating. I don't think they would be the same if everyone agreed. As far as being 'politically correct' people use it as an insult to bandy about to anyone who disagrees with them ... how comes that is allowed? How boring it would be on here if they were all sycophantic threads. I have to say that the 'politically correct' amongst us have learned not to be rude or derogatory, but there are some venomous and snide, rude people about who can't disagree in a nice way and get far too touchy when someone posts a different view or perspective or asks a question. Just my personal opinion after being on the forums a good while. Feel free to click on the green arrow ..." I'll click on this instead | |||

"I like tunnocks teacakes I would like to know more about this and why you said it. Can you answer please? Or are you threatened by my question exposing you for what you are?" Ha ha ha ha wait?....what? This is the cook report? Its a random input that in no way creates drama or insult thus distracts from the negative this thread will no doubt create. Also if you are offended by the mention of a tunnocks teacake there is something really really really wrong in a persons life. | |||

"You say politically correct, I say respecting others. If someone says something -ist on here then I'm going to call them on it. You post on a forum, you're going to have to put up with people not agreeing with you." | |||

"You say politically correct, I say respecting others. If someone says something -ist on here then I'm going to call them on it. You post on a forum, you're going to have to put up with people not agreeing with you. This. There is no rule about questioning posts and there is no rule that we all have to agree. As long as posts are within the rules I don't see the issue. And other than the mods no one has the right to tell other posters to 'jog on'" | |||
