No, Pire, I am referring to your prior post that says:

and yes, of course, I think women should be publically verbally abused...

My definition of Freedom includes Justice... In fact, the two are very much intertwined. I don't think you can have one without the other.

Can my children have FREEDOM if they are not able to play in their yards without getting abused or hurt by other's recklessness?

NO.

Can we have relationships with one another freely without a sense of right and wrong?

I would say absolutely NO.

selcting some of my comments to fit your argument?

are you trying to portray me in some way?

and Ami, are you trying to ostracise me?

or you seriously don't understand what I mean by politically correctness that happens around here lately?

do we all have to be politically correct now?

If I have misconstrued your statement, please clarify, because from my standpoint it seems you are saying, in essence, that it's alright for someone to be demeaning (and pire, this is in reference to not just this thread, but another one that was deleted in the past week)...

My original disgust comes from prior seen comments, not just the above that states "grow a pair" but a continual theme of degrading Ami... to the point of really cruel mockery.

Grow up is not so bad, and had he said that, actually I might not have found it so offensive...

Perhaps there is more to the story than what I've seen, regardless I think AMI needs to stay away from boys who don't treat her nicely and appreciate her. That is not my "politically correct" view, just my honest opinion.

But, I have seen posts from this fellow in the past that have mocked Ami's mental stability (mocked, as in really cruel joke), her status as a moderator, and even accused innocent posters of being her on other unrelated threads...

You also seemed to make a very graceful joke, something along the lines of...

He's all yours ladies...

That was very clever and funny, btw.

But, seriously, AMI... no guy, no matter how hot, how ANYTHING, is worth that kind of treatment...

I thought Gemini's valued their freedom and had a sense (like Libra) of fairness? The Geminis in the past always seem to be very smart and adaptable people...

Why settle for less?

you could check the IP address if you wished, as moderators.

having said that, and to go back to your misunderstanding of my comments, you can go back to my comments on page 2 here and you will understand my point, unless you try very hard not to.

my first comment, was that political correctness is a danger,

and the second comment was an anticipation of such a political correctness. and as I expected, some brave souls (*ironic*) would raise the banner of rights for the weakest

now I can explain why I think politcal correctness is a danger, but not in this thread, it would not be appropriate I suppose.

everyone who wished a Happy birthday to PDF, wished more than just one happy day, isn't it?

one last thing about political correctness,

Instead, I think it is safe to say anyone who publically degrades another is wrong, no matter the circumstances.

I disagree. Know-it-all types need a bit of degrading in order to learn humility.
