    It's just about politeness imho. If something isn't apreciated somewhere why do it there, world is big enough to do it somewhere else. I don't give a crap about naked skiing myself but if it isn't apreciated I just wouldn't do it. What is this fight about anyway, skiing naked.

    That is just his example. Whether it was a good or bad example is not important to me. It is the question about the general tendency of increasing political correctness and its impact that I focus on.

    Out of curiosity...

    Just where do you draw the line, Frags? How much behaviour can I demand stopped before you think I'm limiting their freedom?

    As an example: can I stop a music event if the music and/or stage show offends me?

    (but please don't restrict yourself to just my example in your reply, do come up with your own)

    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    Yes, I know that. That's why I asked you how you define reasonable...

    Depends each time, being reasonable is not being a jerk, if someone is offended you ought to be respectful of their feelings, what good is provoking by intention

    Because people who don't care often really don't care.

    People who care, shout, moan, rage and go through twists and tangles to make sure YOU know they care. They get a reaction.

    As a manager, you grease the wheel that squeaks.
