Not sure why you are being downvoted. Perhaps because ageism is still a borderline ok form of discrimination?

- brink 9y agoI believe he's being downvoted because some believe that there should be a balance between political correctness and skin thickness rather than just full on PC. (This includes me.)
- annabellish 9y agoIt's a lot easier to have a thick skin when you're in a demographic nobody discriminates against.
- brink 9y agoI'm sure it is. I'm not trying to minimize discrimination.
- Ensorceled 9y agoWell, you did talk about "balance" so you are to some extent. [Edit] Also, you called it "PC" so, yes you are minimizing it.
- brink 9y agoHow dare I?
- Ensorceled 9y agoWell, you do you.
- valvar 9y agoThere is no such thing. Every demographic gets discriminated against in some way or another, in ways that are not always directly comparable. Self-victimization, I'm sure, will be of great help.
- merraksh 9y agoIt could have been that parent graciously took my suggestion and replaced "old guy" with "technophobe" in his/her comment, while mine stayed, implicitly making my comment a rather incorrect interpretation and triggering down votes from others. Downvotes are a small price to pay for clarity :-)
