I didn't read that particular article but that was a week or so ago when that came out.

The phrase is now, "Do the right thing" or something similar.

Hardly a major change in my opinion and much ado about nothing.

Meh. I guess they realised what they were saying was "don't do anything that a number of people might not like". And now they realised thats a stupid policy.

Hmm, yea, so that makes it a bit broader I suppose because they can say "its the right thing [for us] because XYZ."

I always though it was a coding joke. I guess not many people understood it.

Killing the jews was the right thing for Hitler if I recall..... @BassTrackerBoats thanks for taking the fun in my OP by editing it.

Be happy I did not give you a warning for that inappropriate content you posted and just edited it for you.

I liked that line.

Removing it was pure evil.

Closed.

The OP seems to have a hard time posting without using inappropriate content.
