I find that a few posters use this word very frequently and should not be allowed to use it any further

It is inflammatory and is only meant as a personal attack, it serves no purpose in any argument other than to antagonize

We've had similar arguments in the past about words like 'racist' and so forth...

My take on it is that if people are (if infrequently) willing to refer to themselves that way, then it's a point of view and not an insult. That said, the person may need to provide evidence that this is the person's point of view.

It may be better to refer to the point of view as racist or bigoted, in the spirit of peace.

I leave it to the moderators though.

No, you need to make the judgement Michael, the moderators don't post on the forums, they hardly even drop by
People here respect your judgement enough

If you'd like to challenge inflammatory statements I could pull up 20 that you've made in the past few weeks...

They are here often enough. They don't advertise their presence, and - yes - their opinion matters more than mine as they actually moderate the site.

You don't seem to have any problem flaming and trolling people, so I'm not certain why the mods would place credence in what you say when you claim that people are flaming and trolling you?

You could always stop saying racist and bigoted things if you didn't want to be called out on it.

You should look into anger management.

You probably shouldn't break into old ladies apartments and sniff their panties

see I can make things up too

No, seriously. You begin posting from each of your accounts and you're mostly decent. However, after a couple weeks, you inevitably lose all perspective and devolve into angry rants and insults. I'm not sure what the issue is, but it seems to be anger. You can't control your 'cool'. I mean it in the most sympathetic way possible. You might want to look into getting your anger under control. It's even evident in your utter disdain for any type of authority. Unless you're 16 years old because that would explain a lot and you'll probably just grow out of it.

lol funny thread this one. I actually think that in the interest of free speech and expression, those words are perfectly acceptable to me. Even insults should be allowed. People will quickly see that those that quickly resort to insults probably don't have anything intelligent to add to the conversation. when people say racist or bigoted things they should be prepared to be called out for it. They can try to make the case that they are not racist or bigoted and readers can hear both sides and draw their own conclusions.

but I don't make the rules, its not my house. We are all guests here. My folks taught me to be respectful of other people's rules when I am a guest in their house.
