Political correctness - gone TOO FAR!

Sorry guys... I know the topic was locked, but I just can't believe people these days... in response to thread -

Tell me... how does a deal on a skimmer get turned into a forum debate on race? What are we here for? We all have this one thing in common... to keep aquatic animals in a sustainable living environment. What colour our skin is or where we are from has absolutely nothing to do with what we are doing here. Geographically, where we get our livestock is of relevance... as is where some of the products are made, but to get sensitive to ones remarks regarding this is preposterous! This planet we live on is getting ever so smaller and the minute we are able to recognize, yet look past our physical differences the better off we all shall be... I suppose now this means that we should segregate our species so that an Indo Pacific creature doesn't have to have a Red Sea co-inhabitant...? I am of mixed culture - (READ - MUTT!) and am proud of every part of my heritage. If people call me cheap - that is my Scottish side coming out... My "geeky" technical side... would be the Japanese... My desire for strict order and arrogance would be the German... and so on....

If in your world you are offended by remarks such as that posted by Willow then perhaps counselling is in order? Personally, I don't care whether it's a fine hand crafted Swiss watch or a cheapo Chinese knock-off... as long as when it's 4:20 it says 4:20!!! As far as I'm concerned,... we're ALL Canadian... just different ethnic origin maybe... C'mon everyone! Lighten up!
