    rapey things are only problematic if you are the other guys. When it is in your group most people look away, say she deserved it, or just say shut the fuck up and take it.

    Just so we’re clear on the (bullshit) rules, it’s perfectly okay to use a homophobic slur, but not okay to us a swastika as your avatar? I only ask because the rules don’t explicitly say that, they are very vague.

    Read the shelter release thread.

    However, essentially, the consensus is that the board wishes to be as free as possible within certain parameters. Having the word "fag" on this website does not raise any flags coming down on the owners of the board. However, an avatar with a swastika will.

    Best to just not be a dick and you'll be fine.

    Oh look, he thinks loophole abuse will validate his life.

    No form of abuse will do that. Especially self.

    WF was originally hosted on a German site where any use of swastikas is illegal. Granted, that was before your time, but the real question is why you thought it was cute. Unless you really do espouse Nazism. :brood:

    I was attempting to take Faceman down with me. Had Bailey not put a stop to it, I believe he would have done the same. I didn’t think it was cute or a good idea, I simply wanted to get him banned.

    So, in thought, you assumed he was as big an idiot as you are?

    You really do misjudge yourself, don't you?

    Face has probably had more "timeouts" than anyone else here, but he's learned to stop just short of getting himself permabanned. Shakespeare had something to say about lawyers...

    But we don't know what it was, because he only published the watered-down version, lest he get sued.

    And they very precisely say that if you can't figure that out on your own, then this is not the place for you.

    At least this guy apologized...

    A Virginia mayor is facing calls for his resignation over a Facebook post in which he said that Joe Biden "just announced Aunt Jemima" as his running mate.

    Luray Mayor Barry Presgraves posted the comment last weekend on his Facebook page. The comment was condemned by members of the Luray Town Council and other residents before he took it down that same weekend.

    Luray is a town of less than 5,000 people, the majority of them white, according to the most recent census data. Four percent of the population is Black. The town is about 90 miles west of Washington, D.C.

    Presgraves apologized at a town council meeting on Monday night.

    "I want to make this very clear to everyone with absolutely no qualifications," Presgraves said. "I understand what I posted on social media was wrong, offensive and unbecoming."

    Presgraves, 77, added that it does not reflect what is in his heart.

    "I also want to make a direct apology to all people of color and women. Passing off demeaning and worn out racial stereotypes as humor isn't funny," he said, reading from a prepared statement. "I now fully understand how hurtful it is and I can and will do better and we can all do better. We must."

    He concluded his statement by saying, "From the bottom of my heart, I am sorry and humbly ask for your forgiveness and your grace."

    Presgraves did not immediately return a request for an interview Thursday. He told the Page Valley News last Monday that he will not step down.

    "Hell no, I'm not resigning," he told the newspaper. "The people elected me and I have a few months more to serve."

    Presgraves, who is not running for reelection, told the newspaper that he did not anticipate his remark would be met with backlash.

    "I thought it was humorous," he said. "I had no idea people would react the way they did. I think people have gone overboard on this … It's an election year.”

    That's got to be the wordiest non-apology I've ever read. :garamet:

    When's the last time you saw a leftist pig get banned? Doesn't matter. They're on the wrong side of history.

    You mistyped. He's sporting a bad girl, not bad grill, and yes, that does get him laid. :bed::fun:

    Boy, Face invented the game of Wordforge Laywerball. He's a 4D chess master and you're playing Tic-tac-toe. You really think he's gonna risk a law career over Internet bullshit? :jayzus:

    It's not a good look to defend Nazism as a joke.

    You're hurling more insults than anyone else in this thread. Constantly looking for attention is not going to cure your eurotophobia. You should seek treatment.
