    Its so lame. Youre offended? Fine. I apologize.

    Its bs though that nobody sticks up for mentally handicap who cant usually speak up for themselves. My brother was handicap and i grew up with people staring at him and laughing when we were in public.

    Why no outrage ever for these people?

    It offends me greatly when i see people use that word.

    If youre gonna stand up for what is right be consistent at least.

    Sounds to me like people with a vested interest in seeing the word not used have an obligation to point out the usage. You have. Thank you.

    It shouldnt just be individuals with a vested interest.

    Absolutely not edited. Here's why, you get into some serious censorship bullshit because some people get offended.

    Well, where do you draw the line? Who is the ultimate judge and jury on this? What list of "safe words" can we serfs now use? The whole thing is completely wrong.

    IF people are offended by something, MOVE ON. But to moderate? No way. That is BS.

    It's a shame an actual black person had to apologize to a white disgraced journalist pretending to be black.

    It's a joke.... from the movie Demolition Man.

    I'm not standing up for what's right for anyone. I personally think letting a word trigger you is giving power to that word. Our society constantly dances around words and I find it pointless and silly. When they blank out the word fuck in a song or on TV, but everyone knows that's what they said...... what was the point? Or if you say frick or gosh or jeeze.... they mean the same damn thing. The meaning is the same. Changing a few letters doesn't change the intent.

    It seems like we're headed towards a society where nothing is ever said because we're afraid of hurting someone's feeligns.

    What seems to you, is your opinion. So don't project your opinion on me bud. I am just tellin' it like it is. People that get offended at someone and go on a twitter war are ridiculous.

    Where was the outrage over people using the term "midget backcourt"? You know that term is offensive to little people, right? Should we add that to the list of words moderators should edit?

    I'll try to make this as clear as I can but somehow I really don't think it will help you "get it"...

    It's not the word it's how you use it.

    Not as a general rule, but it did seem appropriate to do so given the theme of the topic.

    More importantly this has be asked multiple times very nicely by members of our this community not to use such terms. Does this have to become a "mods are ruining all my fun" situation? Fortunately, unfortunately, we do have female members of this community, they've asked that references to their sex not be used as insults. That seems reasonable to me. It's not something that I'm always going to be looking for but if someone asks I don't see the problem.

    Also, two members of the forum have "r word" family members, they absolutely hate that term. In the past they have asked me privately to remove that from posts and I will when asked. This has happened for years. No one has been disciplined, reprimanded or banned over this. It's something that has just quietly happened in the background.

    Maybe to you. Maybe to you buddy. But I don't get offended by people using words like that. I also do not approve of censorship because a few people are a little to soft to move on, or ignore what they don't like and must feel the need to make everyone believe in their same views.

    Thats my point. I was offended. I moved on and just thought said poster was ignorant that the word was offensive.

    When i said people were vaginas, i had no ill intent. After being pointed out i realized i might have offended someone.

    Its just hypocritical of people to be social justice warriors and not stick up for people that have no or minimal voice to stick up for themselves like the mentally handicap. Be consistent.

    You may want to update the forums rules section then if you haven't already. As this list of "offensive words" may need an ever expansive section.

    I find it ridiculous that they can't just move on, but that is the world we live in now. People offended at every single thing they disagree with.

    Thanks for the explanation Sly. While I find the censorship truly fucked. I understand you must cater to the few.
