I'm really getting sick of seeing this shit on the board.... Kikey Mikey. WTF Why is this allowed?? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=kike kike - a racist name for a Jewish person. The people using it should be talked to about it. Or will that start being the norm for this place? (I'm talking to YOU Lanzman)
Meh. Tasvir gets away with "NIGGERS" endlessly, so long as he doesn't use it in a thread title. Using racial slurs in posts doesn't seem to be against the rules here.
And then there are all the derogatory names for men and women alike that get thrown around casually . . . what are ya gonna do?
He was only driven off because of a rep war against him, though. He's technically free to come back whenever he likes, as far as I know.
14thDoctor disagrees: He just explained it. Lt. Mewa disagrees: can you read? Honest question, dude. There's a lot of offensive language that's allowed around here but there's no offensive art or other photography, for instance. I'm asking you, Mewa, to define your terms. Can't do it? Don't start a thread if you can't handle the discussion.
Which is more offensive, Nigger or Kikey? And are these two more offensive than chink, spic, frog, limey, frostback, gook, nip, wetback, goomba, wop, or honkey?
It won't stop, because: (A) it's only used against one left-wing Jewish poster; thus the scum using it can (and do) argue that it doesn't make them anti-Semitic (B) the other Jewish posters are more right-wing, and remain silent so they don't become targets (C) the "good Christians" like apostle and Ward encourage it and actively participate in it That said, censoring the scum would be a bad idea. Let them show their asses so we know who they are.
I can agree with some people on certain issues without being in lockstep with them all the time. You say things, for instance, that are offensive to me but I usually let them slide for the same kind of reasons I let them go (and most people IRL for that matter.)
Stop playing stupid. We have all seen what I have indicated. It should end. Nobody is using those slurs on a regular basis. But we seem to have a racist substitution for a members name. Not cool.
So racist and vulgar is some more important offense (because it's offensive to you) than some thing that bothers me is? I thought so.
Wordforge is, above all else, a free speech board. While I won't tolerate blatant racism in thread titles, letting the 'tards spew their bullshit is acceptable. That's how we know who the 'tards are. Hell, I let Sokar back the other day. If we can put up with him, we can put up with a few bad words.
This, wholeheartedly. I'm not really happy about it, and I wish people would stop using racial slurs. But, if they want to continue to demonstrate their small minds and vocabularies, that's on them.
Do you want me to continue repeating back the noises of being offended? Hint: What you're doing here is just proving my overall point.
