so let me ask you guys about this . let me set the Sean for you and tell me if you think its an over reaction.

So im in a public place a pub !! were people can over hear what your saying even if your not directly replying or talking to them.
So a friend asks me a question about a speeding fine , got by a police camera at the side of the road with a speed gun he was doing 43 mph in a 40 mph road . He used the word most commonly used to describe the Police a 3 letter word I that's a farm animal I wont use it her as don't want to offend any one LOL .

So a person in the pub over hears this and complains to the land lord about the use of this word the land lord has a meeting about it with all the staff disuses it and debates the use of this word in conversation . so the next day my friend is back in the pub having a drink and the landlord comes over and says he is warning him not to use this word in his pub and if any one over hears him saying anything that they don't like about any subject at all he will be no longer welcome in the pub .

So now as this is the best pub in the village and as any one can take offence at any thing really even if its not directed at them and only over heard he will be asked to leave . Hes now worried to say anything for fear of offence. God forbid he mention something about his Ex wife and some women over hears him and complains.
