If there's no point, why be unpleasant, then?

I concluded there was no point, too, and I'm profoundly interested in how CFC is run - but there's nothing but potential loss in saying anything, least of all pointing out how profoundly right Commodore is -offensive to the staff, who I'd rather not have offended by me- and how incredibly wrong he is -offensive to him, having a stranger assert he doesn't have the foggiest idea what he's talking about, telling them they're not hard enough, me being right and knowing what I'm talking about not tending to automatically make me any friends.  The staff will listen to what they want to believe, the longer the thread stays in play the more certain more people who don't know what the hell they're talking about will speak up at great length vehemence and persistence, and --- forget it, Jake; it's Chinatown.

EDIT: I didn't put that in the filter, and I ain't married to having it in there.  How strongly do you feel about being free to say douche at AC2?  I'm asking.

Because things are going way too far.

Just this week:
- A new Senator is being trashed publicly by the media and social media for expressing her opinion (and also her platform that she got elected on) that Islam is not a religion but a political ideology and therefore should lose all religious State benefits.  She also calls for a stopping of immigration from Islamic nations till the terrorist situation is resolved.
- A popular media personality is being abused and disenfranchised because she expressed an opinion that she is scared for her family of terrorists and that maybe the Senator I mentioned above is onto something right.
- Christmas and Easter have been banned in many schools so as not to offend Muslims.
- Bank branch Managers have been publicly shamed and outed for following Bank rules about headgear and asking Muslim women to remove their hijabs.
- Just yesterday I read a news article where a Sydney school has banned clapping, and instead institutes "silent celebration and congratulation" so as to not offend "people sensitive to sound".  WTF?
- In the same article, a GIRLS school has banned the use of the word GIRL so as to not offend lesbians!

HOW [intercourse gerund] STUPID IS THIS WORLD GETTING?

That's why I'm unpleasant.  Because this pathetic pandering to minorities has gone WAAAAAY too far.

I shouldn't have let the conversation drift where it had in the first place, and let's take the politics to OT where it belongs - like the behavior already under discussion, bringing RL politics into this out of the blue is completely inappropriate.  No more here, thank you.
