So am I to understand we are no longer allowed to address the OP in this thread without invoking some breach??

It's somewhat difficult to seperate the OP's decision to give life to a pejorative like SJW as a legitimate label (which is clearly aimed at denigrating those with a left-leaning outlook toward social structures/organisations/politics) from the subject of the thread.

I am also not entirely sure why there was a need for an "unreserved apology" from the moderators given the glaringly obvious transparency of the OP's intent

It's never "obvious what one has in mind" on an autism forum. It's especially important to apply this rule to those you disagree with.

Actually, that was from me.
Quite apart from other considerations about the purpose of the thread or the OP's intentions, I apologised because my hasty comment was misunderstood to be implying things it was not, to the extent that Brictoria was hurt.

Apparently calling Trump's government a circus and his followers MAGAs is triggering

Why stop at "circus" when there is a plenitude of more colorful metaphors you could use?

"Monkeys having fun with a football" comes to mind...

:wink:

We have a lovely saying here:
Not my circus, not my monkeys.

We have that saying, too.

Another one is "Monkeys: 0 / Football: 7".

Be careful folks, "monkey" is also a racial slur so watch how you use it. :wink:
