It also means that everyone else has free reign to say whatever they want back and tear you the **** down and there's not a damned thing you can do or say about it. If that's what we mean by PC coming to an end then I'm all for it  . Bring it on. We could test it out on this forum. Remove all of the rules, make it no holds barred. That's what makes it amusing --- I know exactly which members would head for the hills first  .
Because what these people ACTUALLY want - and this is where it gets really ironic - is somewhere that they can share their views WITHOUT being called out on them. Without being "called oh-so-mean names" like bigot, narrow-minded, nasty little racist, etc. What they want is a safe space. And that cracks me up.

You think you know, but it's no coincidence that you clearly imply that those that would run are those on the opposite side of the fence to you.
