So we are not allowed to call transvestites freaks then?
No matey.
There's nothing that explicility says so in the T&C's, however Rule 3 is a general catchall for such misdemeanours.
Should the rules be more explicit and firmed up ? Not for me to say. But you can see how they can get firmed up by provocation.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
BGG, this site has always been conservative with a small c. Which is why many posters neither like or understand anything that is considered alternative.
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
Your welcome. I notice at the very mention of a troll Minestrone pops his head up.
I just find it interesting the usual heart sinks on here think that the right to wear clothing of the opposite sex is more important than a person's right to hold an opinion.

This is the problem with ‘rights’. Rights can be weighed up against each other, listed on pieces of paper and then given to some people and taken away from others. I prefer the concept of ‘liberty’, which covers both these matters and allows for people to wear clothes of the opposite sex, which may be offensive to some people AND express an opinion which may be offensive to some people.
And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014
If I called someone a n*gger, is that an opinion or abuse, or prejudice?
Similarly if someone declares x population are freaks, that sounds like a prejudice. Or possibly closet tendencies
I don't mind small minded people outing themselves though, it identifies who to avoid.
