Can we get a "handbags at 5 paces" one?

Been a fair few petty squabbles developing of late, it could be a bit like a :nws: one to warn people away :mrgreen:

I think the reason for the upsurge in the pettysquabbling department is it's supposed to be a forum open for discussion, but you have either the keyboard warrior bullies, or the pc police on your case every time you post something they disagree with. :evil:

The PC Police? What do they do, issue your laptop with a ticket for going too slowly?

Well in my experience the Politically Correct police tell you what you can and can't say about certain people, teams, towns etc.,

Nothing new really, lots of forums i frequent have the same Policemen, some telling you that the word 'fenian' is sectarian for example, which isn't precisely true, but let's not let that get in the way of a moral crusade eh?

Are these things really going to offend anyone but the most sensitive of little darlings?

Too many tossbags on forums have grown up in nice little semi's on prettily landscaped estates to realise there's a harsh nasty world out there on the other side of their monitors. Bless 'em.

I think Crazy Horse was jesting, WA, as was I. We know what you meant.

It's all just a bit of banter really?

Internet...serious business :)

Seriously, it's just the internet!

Dunno about anywhere else on the internet but the 'toosbags' on this site don't want to read about people mocking the dead or making jokes about suicide bombers.

What the blood and stomach pills is a toosbag? I'm fairly sure I'm not one but I don't mock the dead or jest about tragedy.

This one grew up on the Spake on Halliwell, has lived on a couple of housing estates in Westhoughton and Farnworth and spent twenty years working in Liverpool's docklands. I still know the difference between common respect and just plain bad manners.

Have to admit that comment got me a bit too, Tango.

I was always taught good manners cost nothing. I don't think the house you were brought up in or the income of your parents changes that.

I'm afraid I cannot claim humble origins - I had a privileged upbringing by many standards and have a quiet academic job. Still, it strikes me as wrong to use terms that offend others even if I am not offended myself. This may be political correctness gone mad, but I don't think we should take any joy from a tragedy like Munich.

Your description clearly refers to Breightmet, an idyllic corner of England from which I am proud to hail.

But I don't think it matters where you come from. Taking some form of delight from a tragic accident which killed a number of young sportsmen in their prime sort of separates you from normal society, in my view. :roll:

There was no need for this to surface on here. The point was made elsewhere. Let's let it drop now hey?
