Lives in a hole
Good points, but as a word, the conotation of "dumb" has all but replaced it's denotation.
I completely understand what you're saying about people taking it too harshly, and looking back at my posts I see I was one of them. Thing is, I personally wasn't offended, I was just arguing on pronciple. One thing I don't like though (and I reckon I've made it pretty clear) is people's obsession with "faggot", and "gay" as a derogatory remark.
I spose we just have to try and find a happy medium, I don't want the PC police running the joint, but I spose I don't want to come to a forum like Pinkbike either.
Just think before you post, I don't think you have to ask everybody's permission before you do, just think to yourself "is this a reasonable thing to say?". Another bit of advice I learnt is, before hitting the submit button, look at waht you've written and see whether that's something you'd say to a person's face. If it isn't, don't post it.
