So summa summarum some apparently innocent discussions and banter on our forum can be seen as playing with fire and non-PC.

summa summarum (nice!) now we know why those kids stopped bullying the kid on the N-word thread. Don't know why I'm bringing up that thread I've already put it on ignore.

So did I put it on my ignore list and hope it will very soon reach the fate of other similar threads i.e. closure.
