    Not really the point. Tned once lost his mind and called me a racist because I used the term “engrish” but actually using a slur is fine. Thats why I thought he was Asian.

    Where do we draw the line, if I tell everyone I’m black I can start calling everyone the n word?

    Also, this isn't about the Carol thread, why are you deflecting, tned? I wasn't even arguing with her in that thread, it was with you (its always you), in fact I messaged Carol privately so you might want to give up on that one.

    Actually that does seem to be the socially accepted norm.

    You'd need to elaborate, but probably not. You may not direct racial slurs at other posters. This is in the rules. Please read them:

    If that's what you got out of it, then I would claim that your question was insincere.

    Two suggestions:

    1. If you are so easily upset by little things that you must "always" argue with me (your words), or me on ignore.

    2. If you truly were offended, which I doubt anyone believes, then you should have just reported it, instead of what you just admitted, always arguing with me.

    Life is too short to hold grudges for years and look for opportunities to lash out, but that's just my opinion, others may disagree.

    wait, what? That's your entire existence on this board dude! my private messages are full of people agreeing with me on this. LMAO, that's classic

    Good point though, ignore works.

    Some dude from California once told me he was Scottish, so I asked where he was born..... America, but his grand parents were Scottish.....i was like cool, see ya
    By "You guys" do you mean Americans?

    Because he was born here does that not mean he has a Scottish heritage? I guess I am failing to see your point. :shrugs:

    Seriously, let it go. There are much bigger problems in life than your perceived injustices I have perpetuated on you.

    Dated a girl that was half-Italian. She said "Do you know how to tell if you have Italian tires? Dago, dago, dago, dago and when dago fastah dago guinea, guinea. guinea, guinea and when dago flat dago wop, wop, wop, wop..."

    As you can tell by who told me the joke, she didn't find it offensive.

    Exactly. We have people that love to get offended for other people. Growing up, nobody got upset by mic, wop, dego, etc.

    As the adage goes: If you go through life looking for things to get offended by, you will go through life constantly offended.

    I think there's points to be made on either side to this.

    I still think it boils down to the following:

    1. Having an adult conversation to explain why you are offended. It's possible something good comes of that. If you are offended by even having to have said conversation, then see option 2.
    2. Put the offending poster on ignore and/or report posts you find offense with so they can be reviewed. Keep in mind that finding a post distasteful does not guarantee that it broke any rules. This is the internet after all.

    Only your first two posts.

    In the first post, you said they would unfairly send you CYP just for creating this thread.

    In your second post, you said the mods would give you the death sentence for pointing out where I broke a rule (which it's worth pointing out, you didn't do).

    So, two posts and twice you questioned the integrity of the mods.

    It's one thing for you to carry on this imaginary feud that exists between you and I in your head, but you have no call to question/impugn the mods integrity.

    If you think their should be a "no language that any group or culture could find offensive" rule created, then make a case to the community about it.

    I'll add this FWIW. The post in question was in the Lounge, where language is MUCH less strenuously enforced, and Tned didn't direct it at another poster. That said, we would certainly draw the line at N....., because there is unique baggage attache to that one. We also probably wouldn't let it stand outside the Lounge
