You do not read me well Rick :-)
Or I do not explain myself clearly enough
Here is the thread again
Daniel Mayer wrote:
Blacklisting terms is a very bad idea and is more PC than NPOV. Let's
not forget that PC is in fact an extreme form of POV and is *not* akin
to NPOV at all (which really deals with article *content* and not titles
- titles are dealt with through our naming conventions).
Tarquin then said
I wonder what happens when the PC brigade come across articles that
begin "So-and-so is a black British actor"
I commented
I would like the PC brigade to have a look at the title of the
[[anti-french sentiment in the United States]] as well
(hint : I was talking of *having* a PC title for the antifrench
sentiment, not claiming there was no antifrench sentiment)
Then you said
Well, I'm certainly confused. Are you saying that there is NO
Anti-French sentiment in the United States?
I answered
About as much as [[September 11 terrorist attack]] ever happened in the US.
(hint : I was thinking that if [[September 11 terrorist attack]] was
renamed for PC reasons, we could perhaps do the same for the
[[anti-french sentiment in the United States]], and make it more PC
as well)
(another hint : I was saying that it was just as funny to try to
hinder the "terrorist" aspect of the attack, than trying to pretend
there was no antifrench sentiment in the US)
Then you commented
You said the title of the article is POV. That would mean that there is
no Anti-French sentiment in the US, which is obviously not true.
I answer
You do not read well Rick :-)
(hint : that means I never wrote anywhere the title of the article
was POV. That was interpretation of your part. I only commented on PC
considerations. In short, we are just talking of two different
things. I was also mentionning the suggestion Jimbo made a year ago :
the title [[French American relationships]] is more **PC** than the
current one.
I often think that I write too much in length, but sometimes, it is best
that I use 10 times more words, since visibly, I am so little understood.
Do you understand now ?
(hint : if you tell me again that I am wrong in claiming that there
is no antifrench sentiment in the US, play again :-))
