@Sitb   About dismissiveness:   I strongly beleive it is a two-street and I may  have overreacted aften constatn sneers & snide remarks that I let go too long before starting to call them out, a thing I will no longer do ...

On "political correctness" in public: But color me  _-=* FLABBERGASTED *=-_  at the level of "political corretness" that seeped in the Canadian and Québécois Culture over the last decades ... The fact that it extends to the Internet is appalling ... I agree wholewheartedly that writing offensive material on purpose has no place but I wonder where that "self-policing"  trend will go in oder to "protect" the oversensitive and intolerant people  to leave a us using the bland,  boring  language politicians use ... Policing the language is policing the mind, I'd rather see behaviral changes than "changes in discourse only" like we see nowadays with advent of the "public" vs "private" language selectively permitted ...

Aslo on "dismissivenss":  some people consider that suggesting change is a "violent disapproval" of the way they have been doing things while it is only a  different way ... Wikis are, after all, akin a living organism they evolve and go through stages with varying needs over time to which the users. contributors and admins have to constantly adapt rather than use passive/agressive behavior to bully newcomers that have different views which I certainly feel I was and settled it with one concern individual and I'm sure I will eventually with Dee/Verry of the cited comment.

P.S. Good thing I did not use the "take out the stick up your ..." which was my initial reaction in the original comment ... I'll have to watch much more G-Rated comedy shows to "clean up" my images & metaphors  (^) ... Although G-Rated language does not mean much, just think about Bill Cosby.
