> OP said simply this:

>> Treat others with respect.

No, the OP's comment was much longer than four words, and part of it implied that if you're not PC then you're a jerk.

It's a lot easier to see the problem with the OPs comment if you think about what it means to be good, and how the definition of "being good" can vary so much between people.

If you want to talk with people about what being PC really is, you have to use fewer vague, high-level abstractions like "jerk" and "respect" and more concrete examples.

Wrong. I simply said that a large part of "being PC" is not being a jerk to others.
