Are things getting silly?

It's been a while since I wrote a purely political column so I'll address that shortfall today.

I read and watched, with some concern, that an MP in parliament used the "C-word" in reference to the speaker this week.

I've always alleged that profanity is the language of those whose vocabulary is very limited.

English is such a rich and comprehensive language that there are usually plenty of non-profane words which can be used without the need to resort to swearing, especially industrial-strength swearing like the "C-word".

I would ascribe a lower than average IQ and lack of really effective education to anyone who felt they had no linguistic option but to use the "C-word" in a formal setting such as a session of the New Zealand parliament.

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
