Watch your wording

just a general warning about wording used on forum

After reading about PaulMs bad luck ( call it what you will ) I thought it appropriate to post this

as we all know P.C. wording is getting worse and worse
In the forum when we refer to people who take things that donot belong to them there are some guys refer to cable theifs by a generic term asssociated with people who do not stay in one place for very long

Recently there was a Lady of mature years who posted a rant about said persons calling them by the term they dont like RESULT she was fined £600
We all know the term Im refering to and Im sure none of us would like to give the local court money I know Iv been guilty in the past but Im having to watch what I post
The scottish gov have brouhgt in a bill regarding abusive language online in football grounds ect this is meant to bring about us all getting along BUT what some class as "banter" others class as abuse and JOKES will soon be a thing of the past (Unless your on tellyt and getting paid a fortune for it )

Well said Mogga.

I've received a pm from a member reminding me about the use of such words and I have reported my own thread! I've asked the admin/mods via the report if the title is ok and if not edit it. There's a time and a place for words like that and its not on an open forum. I will also edit a word from one of my posts on there, not nice to a certain type of people (shouldn't post up my own personal believes).

I drove though Taunton this morning, often known as a more expensive postcode due to theft rate. Drove behind a Range Rover Sport with the registration plate P11KEY. That's fact, that is. No opinion given.
