I hear you but its like a person has a pal that's racists to his other friends and he just shrugs his shoulders. What kind of friend is that??
Aw, yeah, I know, because choosing as an adult to believe in the invisible cloud giant is the same thing as race.
I coined this term on May 13, 2009, sometime in the late afternoon. That is when kikey-mikey was borne, much to my everlasting shame. Since then it has been used (some say over-used) a total of about 300 times. In a 3 year span, that means that out of x number of posts on Wordforge a day, you see the phrase used once every 3 days or so. And that's including posts where the person quoted the person using it, which really shouldn't count, IMHO. Take those out, and it would be more like you see it once every week or so. Unfortunately, that particular pet name for actormike is out of the bag, and it would be hard to stuff it back in the pandora's box without a full banning of it. Though I sort of regret having come up with that, in a way it's kinda enduring. He will now always be known as kikey-mikey, and really should just officially change his username to make it easier on everybody. We love you, kikey-mikey!
Anyone that uses a racial slur on this board is not a "pal" of mine. I spend a great deal of time in my real life making sure I'm squeaky clean because any charge of racial bias would be a severely career limiting situation. I'm a flag flyer. That's the #1 reason I don't fly any Confederate symbols even though several of my family members fought in both the Revolution and Civil War.
I've about decided to be racist against everybody. Including and especially white people. That way nobody can say I discriminate.
"All right... we'll give some land to the niggers and the chinks. But we don't want the Irish!" Y'all can take some lessons from Mel Brooks about racial slurs.
Sticks and stones! If you get upset over being called a name, you're too thin-skinned and immature. Get the fuck over it already! Speaking of names, why is it that blacks don't have any good derogatory racial slurs for white people? Whitey? Cracker? That's all you got? Seriously, it's time to get crackin' on a good slur for us white folks. I want to hear something that really makes me get all sweaty and wild-eyed! Or here's a thought....stop getting so bent out of shape over being called a stupid name! Grow the fuck up!
Which Mel used to show how utterly shit kickingly stupid racists and racism was. I don't know if the same thing is going on here. I rather doubt it, really. Still, Elwood/Lanz/Garamet made really good points about letting asshats show who they are.
Here's a hint: You'll never hear me use the N word, but I think everyone should have the right to use it. We've had this debate here a million times. This board stands for freedom of expression. You want to be hand held, go to TBBS.
I know I was a member under a different username as far back as 2,000, and that I have 23,695 posts there as of now.
I see. You were part of the crowd we disliked. And when WE booked, you wasn't invited. You weaseled into WF some time later.
People tend to cut loose on internet boards more than they would in real life. Hell, I'm certainly guilty of that. But I find it astonishing that people continually use racial slurs and think it's some kind of joke or meme. I'd love to see them walk around certain neighbourhoods in NYC and scream "nigger" or "kike" like they do on this board.
That being said, I must agree with garamet and Lanz. This board has always been about free speech. Better to know who the aresholes and racists are. EDIT: We were able to run that prick Tasvir off the board just by neg-bombing him. He came back (and will likely come back again) under a different name, but his schtick doesn't change.
