Yadda yadda.

It's a case of free speech vs. political correctness, with the majority of society leaning towards the latter. Truth is, no one wants their forum torn apart due to the approval of differing opinions that cause discomfort. That is essentially why Vendor Reviews is now prohibited. Now that speech is somewhat limited, sometimes I see is mockery and sarcasm towards a member when disagreement insues.

No one needs a possible slander/libel lawsuit on their hands.

I'm all for free speech, but when I'm at someone's house, I want to respect and follow their rules the best I can. If I wanted to talk about how sh1tty a place is operated, I'd save it for when I was having a beer with a buddy.

One individual that's not afraid to speak their mind vs 500 politically correct users will never go in the single person's favour.

Ok ok. Apologies to Richard, et al. Who can tell I'm part Irish?

Point taken, Gary. LOL.

You don't want none of that Marco. Gary gave Dave some sort of nasty lip infection during their rendevues, last Wednesday. I'm not trying to implicate something, but I'm down a co-worker and a Thursday night. Bad Gary.
