If you began your own boxing forum.

Not much to change really, but there should be politically correct board where those that don't like fun can post without being triggered.

This post defines the toughness of moderating.
10-20 years ago, there was no phrase called p.c. So those who spoke freely, ...to the point of insults...were labeled as assholes with no respect for other's opinions.


See, how does a moderator determine what is fun? For all?

Some like to call people names in fun. That's cool. Others because that's how they think. How does a moderator determine the difference?

Thanks to this new label...politically correct....a real goodness to gracious Christian can't engage in calling someone a hoe' ass punk ass dick suckin' liberal... Their principles.. Which they practice wouldn't allow.
Those who find fault in certain races, ethnicity, religions partisan parties have a ball using the label (PC).
I noticed those who don't use the term PC...are the very ones getting slapped with that very label.

Where is the fun in constantly deriding one political party? Constantly finding fault including certain demographics..ignoring others?

I don't initiate name calling on boards because I am PC...if I can't say it to your face, then I have no manly reason to say it across the internet.

Boxing, sports in general... I can take ragging...but adults 30,40 or 50 older...don't see fun the same way on social political iissues.

A good moderator has to take that into consideration.

I think people should try and be polite to one another and I guess that is a form of political correctness. What confuses me though is when you offer some facts and then the reply is something along the lines of 'That is racist propaganda, you cunt'. And that just has me scratching my head because you are just offering facts that don't fit the politically correct narrative and then at the same time being abused for facts that are just facts. Like for instance it is a fact that children of single mothers are more likely to become single mothers too and have issues with drugs and alcohol and live in poverty. Pointing this out is apparently just being a cunt and I don't think it is. I think it is just offering evidence and then suggesting people don't need to perpetuate cycles of misery. Instead you are always a cunt no matter what you say or do. There is a double standard there. They ignore the serious issues and just want to make you a cunt regardless.

In the past I would have liked it if the personal abuse could have been stopped because basically at times I had no choice but to defend myself in a very aggressive, base manner no different to those doing the attacking. At times it also led to me being very angry with Mods and the site. No doubt about it. I didn't feel I was getting a fair hearing. I hear it constantly now too, but it is just that I handle it a bit better than in the past. I have come to understand that those doing the attacking have serious issues of their own and it makes them feel better to have a few targets. I will have a dig back now and then, but certainly not lose sleep over it. It did use to make me very angry.
