LOL - I was expecting the tired old PC accusation to raise its head.

Taking the piss out of your friend is an entirely different situation. It's banter between mates and pretty much anything goes.

Comparing someone to a downs syndrome sufferer on a public forum is completely different. You're making a very simple connection - downs syndrome = dumb, thick, stupid. Something to sneer at.

It always smuses me how the people who bleat that they are being "anti-PC" actually just use it to justify being rude, abusive or bigoted.

Being anti-PC is railing against stupidty like calling a blackboard a chalkboard. Trying to insult someone by comparing them to someone who is mentally and physically disabled is just behaving like a bigoted oaf.
