And you Jamiet99uk have used an offensively sexist word. I get your passion, but when you respond at that level in my opinion, you do your own position damage.

I would like it if Fascists went "all the way to oblivion" and were gone from the world for all time. So in that sense, fascism has not gone far enough, it still lingers to plague us all.

As I have often remarked, humanity's path to enlightenment continues to be long and arduous, and the lingering stench of fascism and totalitarianism is definitely proof that collectively, we have such a long way to travel towards enlightenment.

Language is a funny old thing. Words can come with baggage, but that baggage varies enormously from place to place. The word cunt in Scotland is viewed as considerably less offensive than it is in Australia, or England for that matter. I'm not too hot on Australian swearing, but the English equivalent would be twat, which is kind of the same thing but for some reason used by both men and women as anything from a nasty put down to endearing mockery.

The Scottish cunt is still considered more insulting than the friendly rhyming slang word for the same thing, berk, which comes from "Berkeley hunt, cunt", and yet is mild enough to feature in children's literature.

Language makes no sense

I think there is an old sailors knot called a c**t splice. I appreciate that daffy old fuddy duddies like me can be seen as quite hypocritical with regard to offensive language use. In that in certain groups in which I mixed in decades past it was quite acceptable to use appalling amounts of offensive language, yet at the same time I wouldn't use such language around ladies, of all socio economic classes.
There were all sorts of understood rules about what behaviours were & were not acceptable in different groups, environments.
But in this brave new world of the 21st century these things have changed from the olden days. Maybe I'm changing slowly as well. I still like an expletive ridden rant, but I indulge in it less and less and now virtually it's only when I'm alone, well out of anyone's hearing.

This is a public forum, and I know we are given more freedom to exchange barbed insults in the politics threads, but at the same time, I think we should be concious of the desire by the WebDiplomacy site owners that this site be welcoming to both women and men as well as minors.

I'm not against Jamiet99uk haranguing those who embrace Fascism or totalitarianism, I would simply encourage him to do so in a more​ erudite way. As an example, I just love the way great writers have created withering, devestating insults by really clever use of language, and satirical mocking humour.

We all have different opinions on this, and I well understand that I'm just a Daffy old fuddy duddy.

No, Major is right. I apologise for my use of the c- word. I should have chosen a less gendered profanity. I don't apologise for anything else said in this thread though.

Really? You've used that word countless times before. Turning over a new leaf?

Thank you Jamiet99uk. Your detestation of Fascism and Fascist's​ is commendable, it's an abhorrent ideology and it's adherents are quite literally, in my opinion, the scum of humanity.
In this situation, where Jamiet99uk has chosen to make what I describe as "the noble gesture" and apologise.

I note the response of Croak & Dallier. He could have chosen to similarly make a gesture of peace, or of acknowledgement of Jamiet99uk's generous apology. But no. Into the ring he flings another controversial word, and attempts, in my opinion, to belittle a significant act by Jamiet99uk. How disappointing, and how revealing of character.

It's entirely consistent with the character of a man who thinks rape and child abuse are only a problem if non-whites are doing it.

Policing what people say like some kind of moral inquisition is too nineteenth century for me - but you do you I suppose.
