Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.

So we've had yet another page of "are you offended easily". Also some people think a joke that happened to mention a person who happens to have died is comparable with "Schumacher is a nazi".

Seriously people, I have never seen a group of people get their panties in a twist over such minor stuff before. Oftentimes when someone makes a joke that is a little offensive it is best to just let it slide. If someone makes a post which expresses obvious racism or discrimination against a particular religion or group of people then I would agree that the moderators should step in. If a single individual repeatedly posts items which are mildly offensive, showing repeated lack of respect for others, then the moderators should step in.
