I voted “No”. Not because I don’t care for being courteous, but because I don’t care for compulsory/unduly-expected courtesy. Not that I anticipate any legally binding political correctness, but I despise the PC mob that you see in the shitty corners of social media.
For example, the gang up on porn star August Ames for what seemed to be a -while it was an unwisely worded message- Twitter post about her personal choice on who she has sex with in the industry. She committed suicide shortly after the enormous amount of PC bullying.
A cursory glance at some of my post history will show that I’ve got some anti-PC views, some stronger than others. Some of those hold true today and some don’t. I like to take it on more of a case by case basis these days, but with age comes experience and (hopefully) some wisdom.
