    I don’t know what’s worse - your well documented racism here or the lengths you go to to deflect from it

    Just a terrible person all around :shrug:

    There's a "sausage or no sausage" joke in there somewhere, but I can't quite find it. :chris:

    There is an editing tool, but she was wrong that it applies to everyone. Only admins (and possibly mods) have it. As one of the steps is 'remove old edit tags' it's pretty clear it's an admin/mod tool.

    I'm convinced Steve was acting in good faith when he tested the timing, and it does appear there is a five minute window where you can add things without the tag.

    The post in question for me was 6 minutes between, but it's possible I took a minute to reply.

    But on a board this size Admins are not held to the same neutrality standards most larger boards have, so buyer beware. Yes, they can edit their posts to gaslight if they want, and you'd need to specifically request someone else on staff to check that.

    I trust the vast majority of people on the staff, but the vast majority is not everyone.

    As long as they're not hiding the sausage, it's not a deal breaker.

    You know how you can have someone say 'african american' or 'black' but the way they say it you know they mean the other thing? I've run into a few of those.

    So yeah, pepperoni. :D

    And online it's always couched in how useless cis white males are. As a group.

    To me the classic example of racism is my mom. She was mugged by a black guy and went from treating everyone as an individual to treating black people with suspicion because their skin color was the same as the guy who mugged her. Shitty.

    It's the same thing when you do that to any group.

    Yeah, I know, it's like putting the butterscotch pudding next to the Tso's chicken at the buffet because their colors are similar.

    There have been times where I have seen posts that I know I saw and brought it up later only to have someone like @Bailey tell me that nobody said that. Then I go back and try to find the quote and couldn’t find it. I suspect this happens more often than we think.

    The haters deserve no civility no matter how they try to be calm when they post their hate. This is a FF level meltdown considering he is now whining that admins are participating.

    Okay, I can actually see that conversation because I've been around it a few times... well, at least conversations critical of cis gendered men (in positions of authority, mostly). just never really caught it as a slur so much as to differentiate from a perception/positive bias of trans dudes.

    I will actually agree that forming cis into cissy would be an insult. I would not use it on someone I wanted to respect, but a snowflake having a pissbaby fit over cis would be the proper use of cissy.

    Interestingly having known some sissy boys and what they will go through I think it would be an error to imply they are some sort of pissbaby republican type. I would want to use the term on a written forum where you could see the difference because clearly people who freak the fuck out of being called a person born with the genitals of the gender they identify with is overwhelmingly wussy.

    Apropos of nothing, remember that time that Trump floated the idea that Russian intelligence should help protect our election servers from cyberattack?

    Good times. Good times. :D

    Somehow I knew this was going to wake up our little TK conspiracy theorist who thinks the mods are conspiring against him despite him making a fool out of himself trump gundam style every day of his life.

    maybe a forum for offshoots?

    Given that 2/3s of the content is UA and Billy Carter being dumbasses while a few of us use them as repartee epee dummies, might as well have a daycare so the grownups can talk.

    Sorry, that terminology is a little odd to me in usage, but assuming I'm interpreting what you said correctly, isn't that kind of bias exactly what allows for racism?

    I think we floated the idea of a Daycare like place once, but the general consensus was essentially "no!"
    I think we all remember the Violet Room debacle.

    I have not bothered to argue with your claims in a while. If people want to think I am racist because you claim it, then feel free. You are a well known republican pissbaby and if someone wants to chill with you then enjoyu. It keeps my life much more crap free.

    Now do have fun with your point. My words are out there for all to see, as are your bigotry and whataboutism.
