And as far as I recall, he was not banned for doing so.
ikaika pushed really hard for him to get banned in the meantime."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion.

Anyways, I don't think I"m making my point very clear. PC "culture", like in the OP, isn't so much about making laws and formal rules, but rather about making it socially unacceptable to say certain things. And all I'm saying is that even here, it's not socially acceptable to say certain things. If somebody came on here saying words like "cripple", they wouldn't be very popular.
Whether or not this actually violates TWeb rules has nothing to do with what I'm saying."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right!

But still, he wasn't banned was he?
And this seems still to be more about a personal insult toward an individual, not a politically correct rule against/for some group.
A better example might be that we don't allow derogative terms for homosexuals on this site. That would be "politically correct"
