Really? Because that's pretty much the definition of political correctness as I know it.

You of all people should know that Council (and moderators) are people, not robots. Sometimes a light-hearted comment is a good way to nip conversation in the bud and move on. I know that you know this, and that it can wind up being blow way out of proportion, so why add to this? (I recall a certain thread closing post you did that everyone went nuts over a year or so back that was not so dissimilar.)

Sorry, but I do call what's happening here (and in the other thread) crazy. I stand by that, even as I participate in it.
