I apologise for the whole mess.

I think it started when we were talking about banned words, and I mentioned the RAF article, and it's all snowballed from there.

I didn't pick that name for the dog, the RAF pilot did. BLAME HIM!!!

OK, the name of the black dog in the RAF (who was a mascot, BTW) was Nigger. I have no problem with that word, but others do, and I don't know who are the sensitive people around here or not.

I didn't know it would appear, I thought the swear filter would've blocked it out, but amazingly, in this day and age, this forum seems to have no swear filter of any kind. Or is that wrong?

So sue me.

I'm not really sure if it was, but things were surely different 75+ years ago compared to today.

I'm not for changing history, I disagree with the RAF decision, and with the decision to pull down the statues of people involved in slavery, I think it's just a bunch of sensitive people who are so easily offended who are stirring everything up in this way. I personally don't see why they're so worked up. I'm also really not for censoring words, I'm just fed up of being jumped on for mentioning ONE acronym when I didn't even bring up the subject in the first place.

I was referring to the BBC article with the words "racial slur", not my personal choice of words.

Not just my cure, considering the BBC news item today about what the Royal Air Force have done to the memorial for the Dambusters dog. The dog had a name that is a racial slur today, but not 75+ years ago, so they removed the name. Just like with this statue stuff recently.

We really need a filter to block certain words and phrases from being posted in the first place, or if it is there, then more stringent. Anyway, I'm not really on any social media platform except Facebook, but then that's useful for keeping in contact with friends and family, and email for the rest. I don't even make phone calls anymore, except to one number for medical supplies, so I wonder why I even have a phone at all. I thought of joining Twitter years ago, but it seems you could be jailed just for posting certain things, so I didn't.

Equal amounts of each ethnicity, gender, etc. Isn't it obvious? Anyway, I'm not mentioning it any more, I've already messed things up here.

I did not say that, I'm not against female or ethnic groups being the main characters. My beef is that the SJWs are pushing their agenda to go all the way, not just meet in the middle, ie. equality. Sorry I brought up that acronym, I will cease now if you do.
