Maybe we shouldn't overact and start setting up policies on political correctness and censorship just because of this one incident. If something is offensive to someone, just report it. I mean, really obviously offensive remarks will not be tolerated, but we do have a sense of humor around here don't we?
I've long complained of the anti-Islam vibe this place sometimes can give, since way back when Marc "know it all" Grayson posted here.

Interestingly I've read far worse about gay people on MG than my comment.
Anti-racism has to obviouly be a policy. I've let things go in the spirit of engaging in debate. I dont believe we should favour any one posistion. Humour is something else entirely and any sensible person can guage the sentimemt of a comment.
We will of course follow the report of any issue and judge case by case. Nothing is changing just being underlined.
Right, well that seems to be that then, what shall we do now?
Hmmmm......
I recommend you all visit my Charles Bukowski thread that I've posted for your poetic enjoyment.
People are going to cross the line sometimes that happens everywhere all the time.
The problem is if we completely stifle free debate the place will stagnate and everything
that stagnates eventually dies.I in no way condone anti anything and we shouldn't tolerate
bigotry in any form not one bit but lets remember who we are, this is devils island after all.
If Shooey feels his transgenderism has been met by prejudice or any other poster feels this is the issue then we will of course look into the matter.
I'm quite politically incorrect. I can rise above that, but I'm not nearly as fun.
Now I'm starting to feel guilty over my overt ogling and jeering at some of the beautiful women posted on here.
For the record, I think women are every bit a man's equal, except the areas of driving, sports, and drumming.

Bop? I'll let you handle this.
Anything else relating to Soggs incident will be moved to the NSFW section. And hopefully the thread will be steered back on course by Popeye probably posting something about shoe horn etiquette from Ask Andy.
Shoo will also have to tolerate the wearing of rubbersoled footwear in muddy English fields.
