Political correctness

[bigted]

Recently (yesterday) I posted a question on another forum and got spanked very hard. So before I step on it here ... thought I better ensure the rules here concerning a subject I thought would be non existent in the gun world.

Now that I peeked somebodys interest , this is what happened;

In my quest to understand the fouling on my Miroku Winchester model 1873, I refered to this excellent rifle in the same way as I always have. What you may ask is this noxious name that has me ejected from the Cast Boolit forum forever? Betcha I now have your interest peeked huh?

My dastardly reference was as always "japchester".

I got called a bigot by another member over there for this common (last I heard) referance to differentiate between an American built Winchester and the Miroku built model.

Having no idea that this was an issue with anybody but this single TROLL , I reported him in hopes the moderator would interfere and remove his ass for being purposefully offensive and devisive as well as putting my post off subject therefor causing a lack of discussion on a subject that has me perplexed.

My entire post was deleted ... so ... I contacted the owner of the forum and simply asked why the post was removed (still having NO understanding of the obvious pantie tightening that my referance of JapChester had caused) I reposted my original question on another section of the forum (again not completely "getting" it).

That was last night. Going back to see the responses I get a short note that informs me that I have been kicked off the forum "FOREVER".

Sooo ... thought I better ask cap here how much a tightrope I would have been on had I asked my innocent question here on my fav forum.

To say that I am extremely disappointed puts it very mildly. Have we  descended to such a level that such references endanger us to be dismissed out of hand?

Len nails it:  Wokechester.  Snowflakes.  Perfect.   

Japchester.  I like that, can't help it.  Not that I'm trying very hard. 

I have an Arisaka Type 99 here (7.7x58mm) that my dad brought home from the Invasion of Okinawa (April 1945, highest American attrition rate since Antietam).

It's always been known as the "Jap Rifle".  Because ... that's what it is.  That's what it's always been.

Sue me, ban me and a sum total of zero eff's will be given.

Freakin split tails wearing mens clothing. Ho hum , got a bunch of amusement and helpful suggestions over the years since 2011. Good to be here where we still piss standing up and days like yesterday just do not happen.

Glad to shake their dust from my shoes ... er ... was that dust?

Hello bigted,

I went in and read your post's, your not the only one who refer's to them in that manor.
Personally I would have called it a Miroku but that's just me, I knew what you were talking about and am not offended.
Apparently you were supposed to contact somebody, site owner "#_1", as he's the one who banned you.
Gotta play by the rules I guess, whether one knows just what they are or not.
This whole political correctness is getting out of hand, but I'm not going there for fear of offending somebody.
I did take screen shots of a search and the post's which included the word "Japchester" if you'd like to see them.
Just PM me your email & I will forward them to you.
It really is unfortunate that we (the U.S.A.) can no longer produce firearms in a competitive manor,
and that we must rely on a Communist Country for computer chips required by our Government to produce automobiles.
Okay, I'm done ranting.

Yes Mike, this is a good place, AntiqueSledMan.

I'm not missing anything by not going there. I used to have a 7.7 Jap. That's what everybody called them back in the day.
