Or call a mouth a cum guzzler and you go 2.2 billion in the red when you were a decent amount green and only ever had 1 negative rep. Title is SUPER UBER HIGH REP, mine is high if looking at it backwards. hahaha Currently at about 1.73 billion in the red, so at this rate, probably around the year 2012 I should be back to even.

If they banned me, well life would still go on for me and Fit Freak. It's not like I need Fit Freak or it needs me. Though if banned for that, then really this place would not be for me anyways if speech is that curtailed. I know you are a champion for freedoms from reading some of your posts on the board, does freedom of speech not apply? I don't buy into the whole PC game that society likes to play these days.

Well the 1st Amendment to the Constitution, the concept of freedom of speech, is for public venues, as in speaking out against a tyrannical government. We have the right to public and peaceful redress of government. If the government could throw you in jail for criticizing them, we'd be in Communist China. In private situations, you certainly may choose to say what you wish, but not without consequences...the classic example being shouting "Fire!" (when there is none) in a crowded theater. We can even burn our nation's flag or hold up a sign saying "God hates fags" in full view of a military funeral. But not to incite violence or cause panic intentionally.
However, one cannot insult another person and expect to have no consequences. In an online forum you get rep taken away or banned. In person you might get punched in the face. Or the person might take the high road and just walk away.
Political correctness is another subject. A personal insult is not political correctness. Political correctness is actually a concept from the former Soviet Union, and we know what system they were under. Being PC would be to call illegal aliens "undocumented workers," for example. It is trying to twist yourself in knots so you don't offend anyone's feelings or say what is really the truth because the truth is somehow seen as threatening.
