Offensive words
Offensive words
I just got a warning not to racially insult anybody anymore, or I'll get banned. Now I know NN would be happy to sacrafice himself to get me banned, but that's not where this is about.
What do you think of insulting someone on these forums? Should it be banned (the insulting)? Or should it be allowed, or should it only be allowed for respectable forum members?
Personally I don't care much, since I know most of the time it's not really meant, or otherwise I just really don't care because I don't give a shit about the person saying it, but what do you think?

I see nothing wrong with playful insulting, and if you can't handle any amount of insults, you should stay out of the Internet, IMHO (and off the streets), and if you're an idiot or troll, prepare to be called that. However, there is a line. I haven't followed your recent antics, but if you were messaged, you probably stepped over it.

Without getting into the detail's it is generally considered derogatory to call someone a "Jew" that is infact not jewish why this is the case is beyond me but that's just the way it is.
You need to ask yourself would you be happy if someone called you by the name of your religion or culture or country i for one would not be bothered at all.
In my opinion it should be treated like being called a "Swede" for being Swedish but that's just my opinion.
Some people are more easily offended than other's.
For future reference i would just use the more well known accepted word's like arse hole or other word's to that effect.
Take care.

If we ban them before they cross the line, then we're banning them for no offence committed. That being said, I've yet to receive a complaint about this particular set of problems. If a user does have an issue with name calling, admins must know, so please PM me if this is the case. (I do actually deal with such issues often)

Well neatnit didn't care and it was him I was calling names at, still I might consider a complaint myself tho, how exactly will you handle the people that insulted me Neo?
Anyways, I agree with prof here, a jew is a jew like a swede is a swede, or should we call them inhabtants of isreal?!
What I put upfront the word jew was in no way out of the ordinary here on these forums, so how does it make the whole insult a racial one? I dunno, but I think it's more an insult to a jew to see jew is an insulting word then to just say it.

When is something a racial insult?
For example, is calling someone a jew a racial insult? And if so, by wich terms?
How exactly do we define a racial insult on these forums?

well, before i say anything to anyone at all (even on the internet), i make sure i can say it to their face. I also make sure its not some unsupported meaningless jab that has no right to be found in any conversation.
i voted for whatever
insults have to be dealt with here, and in everyday life (freedom of speech)
but they have to backed up. you cant just go name calling someone whenever you feel like it.
Introversion doesnt want anything bad on here.
this forum and all the other ones were created for constructful puposes.
