Hi Pups, how's it goin'
The Mouse is quite right, of course, it's all to do with PC and the Knee-jerk reaction of shouting "racist" and expecting everyone to jump!
On my Q an answer said:
"You're a racist.Enough said"
He thinks he's being a "smart**s".
But he's just proving my whole point:
that the shouting of ONE word can have you Violated, or Suspended.
Another said "BTW, I've reported you"
THIS Shining intellect has said, in reply to my Question, "You can't spell" because I'd written
B**t**rd (he can't PROVE that I can't spell because he can only guess at the word that I mean)
He then said I was a member of the BNP
without any evidence so I said "I'll report YOU"
Got a Violation for defending our hard-working Doctors!
Ah well,Pups.
"No Prophet is honoured in his Own Land"
Hi Pups, I think he grassed me up :
Got a suspension at 12.33 am, and got back on at 1.25 am
I don't know who's dafter :ME or THEM?
Just shows why people are afraid to speak out!

Because there are always someone who gets offended by just about anything and will report you to Yahoo. Whether that was justified or not - Yahoo will likely delete your answer just to keep the ultra-sensitive, everything-politically-correct, nobody -else-allowed-a-different-opinion, self-righteous, no sense of humour users happy.
So some people will keep their opinion to a pretty mild level so as not to offend anyone. Not that we don't ever have fun though. Some people just stay clear of controversies
Just an observation

I'm not. I'm not sure why anybody would be scared. Unless they are afraid of offending someone. I think a lot of people on here speak honestly and openly. Because there sure are a bunch of rude people. I'm sure some people thought some of my questions and answers were very rude. But i was honest.

I've found the opposite to be true.
I see a complete lack of decorum and respect on the part of the majority. Whether or not they are speaking their true minds or not, I can't say, but they don't really hold back at any rate.

I'm certainly not. I give answers that are as honest as I can get, of course while trying to not be too harsh or mean to people. This is a place to share opinions and that's what I do.

i think i know what you mean pups , their is alot of "sheep" on here that jump on the band wagon , and instead of airing their true feelings they back up other answers, maybe because they feel they have a better chance of getting points or something , or it might be that they don't know enough about the subject to give a reasonable argument , i might be totally wrong xxxx

because political correctness is forced down our throats and were are afraid to call a spade a spade anymore. the whole country is going mad not just the people on this site. freedom of speech is an ancient myth now

Are you kidding? Have you seen some of the racists, perverts, philosophers, and political ideas on here?
Its great to have such a free exchange of ideas.
If anything I think this place is too censored, by yahoo and other users.

I didn’t realise that people were, I know that I am not; I always figured that the degree of anonymity available encouraged people to be open with their opinions.
