    I like it when something is away from the original context in which it caused offence and is therefore funny.

    I'm sorry to go on!

    And this too:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/37002375/biggins-very-sorry-and-very-sad-over-cbb-removal-after-unacceptable-language

    I do like "unacceptable" language:rotfl::rotfl:.

    What is it that someone else has been incapable of accepting? Usually makes me want to accept it more:rotfl::rotfl:. And, therefore, as a matter of fact, it is not "un"acceptable, since I have "accepted" it and therefore it is not within the meaning of the word "unacceptable". So, try again!:p

    "Unacceptable", to me, means "unable to be or not capable of being accepted". Why is it not capable of being accepted? To the person saying it is "unacceptable", I say: what is that that you cannot accept?

    "Which could cause widespread offence." (My emphasis.) But no evidence that they have done so?

    What a load of created controversy, that, as usual, has circulated the "offensive" comments much wider.

    But obviously, I don't like that someone has been left "mortified" by anything. But it does cause a great problem - this creation of "offensive language" and "unacceptable" behaviour (which I have yet to have anyone comprehensively and fully define for me - they always cop out and claim "this is not an exhaustive list of what might be considered to be unacceptable" - well then, it's no help at all:p, unless you tell me, which you don't, in a clear and explicit way that tells me comprehensively and exhaustively every possible situation - otherwise I do not know and I am second-guessing - so they never define it comprehensively and fully - a situation which is, I think, er, "unacceptable" is actually the word that comes to mind:rotfl:. It's unacceptable, from my POV, to fail to set out a description of everything that is unacceptable. Ah, but my consideration of that being unacceptable is never taken up on and acted upon. So, it's pick and choose again and taken at a whim when it suits you:p:p!). Ah dear - this world and how it deals with the Asperger's person's points of argument again...:rotfl:. In other words, it does not have any answer to it. Because it is right and you know it!

    Obviously, it's about "context" (which I'm ignoring!) and some things considered to be seriously unacceptable and others are just part of life, so that's what it is.

    In practice, there's no problem as we "know" how to behave (or do we - judging by Mr Biggins?:think:) - but it's when you start considering it. I know what's required and know about that, before people start defining it and then I never know:rotfl:. It should be common-sense. But clearly it isn't, if people have to set out codes of acceptable behaviour and start defining things (and then non-exhaustively:p) that ought to be obvious - but if I need it written down, as the production of a code suggests I do, then clearly it isn't obvious after all as code was needed. If it was, there would be no need to set it out - and even then in an unsatisfactory (from my POV) partial manner - and there would not then be anything at all (even a partial thing) in writing. So, it's not common-sense. If it needs to be explained and set out, even in an unsatisfactory, incomplete way, then it mustn't be obvious and common-sense. Otherwise, why would you need to go to such a pointless exercise?* Besides there appears to be a lot of "sense" that is "commonly" lacking. What "sense" is it that is "common"? Anyway:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    *Maybe that's the point, as no-one, in truth, ever pays attention to codes of behaviour - only the person with Asperger's considers it seriously and ever seriously considers any attempt to comply with it (if you do that, then you have a 'problem' or at least an 'issue' as it does not set out proscribed behaviour completely, exhaustively and comprehensively, so that, while you may have a "good" idea or be able to "guess", in truth you can never know, for sure, completely and absolutely for every situation of what absolutely anyone anywhere might, for some reason or apparently none, consider to be "unacceptable". And, of course, in truth, I require the impossible to be done - setting out all situations including all situations that are unenvisaged at the present time. But then they leave me with the "impossibility" of trying to predict). So, I conclude, it's not intended to be taken seriously at all and is therefore there to be safely ignored. Which is what everyone else appears to be doing anyway:cool:. It's not intended to be any serious communication or to make any attempt at being such:D.

    Is that still ongoing?
    I have had it, now for a few days, belatedly, on the M list. With no thanks or acknowledgement added to the list at all as it's completely objective and impartial and therefore wouldn't want to be cluttered up with pesky things like thanks:rotfl:.

    However, I do thank you for it here and it's on the list, I think, thanks to you:T:T:T. It is appreciated. (Even though it's not always said, because sometimes I don't say it in a "right" way.)
