The power of PC to silence or restrict discussion is a bit overblown in a world where, short of violence or the threat of it, each of us really can say what we damn-well like - and take the consequences, i.e. rebuttal, ridicule, the ostracism of idiots, and hopefully further discussion on the topic. Marx would call this 'the dialectic'.
After all, although some of us would like to, we can't reach through cyberspace and strangle someone with a different point of view, we can only use words, and frankly words on their own don't devastate.
So speak up, everyone, tell the simpletons to shove PC where it belongs: you have nothing to lose but a bit of dignity !
