Nice willing, but the problem is that it implies common sense from all users and... I better don't continue Frown | :(

What follows next? No more jokes that depend on a punchline like "I wished for a chick with a big ass?" No more threads about overweight men? No more criticism of radical muslims when they become suicide bombers as an expression of religious freedom? And no use of language like "illegal aliens," right?

I agree sometimes the jokes are hurtful and sometimes it's legit to question whether the attempt to be humorous is only an excuse. But I don't see how Chris can spend all day making sure everything that's said doesn't offend anyone. Humor requires someone to be the butt of a joke. If you can laugh at a dumb blonde joke, you shouldn't cry at a dumb Pole joke.

It's the blatantly offensive comments such as "Offering a ham sandwich to a starving Muslim" and "[Is there] Intelligent life in India" I object to.

There is a world of difference between discussion and criticism on immigration, radicalised Islam, politics, religion etc. and those examples I gave above. The two are not in the slightest bit the same.

That's the kind of excuse the likes of Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson and Roy "Chubby" Brown used when they went on stage and talked about "Thieving Pakis" and "Stupid Blacks". Not in the slightest bit funny, and deeply offensive. You'll notice how the "someone" morphs into an entire race of people very easily.

Well I'm going to follow his advice above. I expect I'll get flamed. A lot. But at least I'll have contributed something worthwhile to the site.

It's also the 'kind of excuse' used by Aristophanes, Moliere, and G.B. Shaw when they were criticised for their outrageous (to someone) comedy.

I suggest to enable searching for members by Location to allow developers to get in contact with their civilians, colleague friends, find jobs , etc.

Sorry, It seems I did not express myself well
I do not want private info
Just searching by location to find all persons from my country
No more ...

I can easly know the location of every one while reading his article or message by clicking on his name, (e.g. you are from Canada) which means that this info is not secret

And few months ago you was enabling searching by member name
So, What is the problem in enabling searching by location

You originally said you wanted this to connect with people in your area. Now you're just curious? Yes, we list our country, but privacy laws protect HOW this data is accessed.

Does it matter what I write here? Someone just has to say something about it.

I was surprised that you are neither a system admin nor a site builder to answer my question.
Also, I was surprised by your Biography Confused | :confused:

However, I still waiting for a reasonable reply from Mr. Chris Maunder

Leckey is an active member of this site, and well respected by many. She has a sharp mind on her, and I'd be surprised (very surprised) if Chris' opinion was wildly different.

I am looking forward to that update, I am intrested in the story Laugh | :laugh:

.

By the way, this discussion may be a sample of the implementation of my suggestion above.

The concept is:
Programming is one common thing among all CP's members
One more thing may be the location

I am not insesting on implementing my suggestion, I just explain my idea.

However, thanks to all

Then you will return a list many hundreds of thousands long. I'm not convinced this will be of value.

Search by name returns a small set. By country returns a large set.
