standard.
However, high or not, given the recent penchant among TeamB to censor posts
for even mild transgressions, it does seem to reveal a double standard.
Personally, I think there has been way too much touchy-feely politically
correct sensitivity training here on these newsgroups. This row over Mr.
Overcash's caustic response is a reaction to that type of increasingly
excessive oversight. {*word*62}s should be allowed to tell each other when they
are being an idiot.

Unfortunately, it appears that I personally (at least) as a Borland
employee *am* being held to the "perfect political correctness"
standard, as much as I detest it and believe that it is actually one of
the most socially undermining behaviors ever foisted on a community by
shallow-thinking do-gooders.
I think political correctness is a wonderful way to be condescending and
hateful while still giving you room to weasel out of that behavior if
you're accused of it.
I'm not going to play that game, as much as some people on these
newsgroups think a "corporate representative" should always turn the
other cheek.
