I think the bigger question here is when the fuck did you get a position of authoritah?

That happened a while ago. Programmers were given mod powers, I believe. Maybe he's not doing a perfect job, but he's trying.

Junsu, I've never said chink. AT ALL. Gay? Possibly, faggot, yes. You are.

In what way is he a faggot or homosexual? Have you seen him holding hands with another man? Or is it just your 'Colombian' way to emasculate someone? So you think homosexuals are less than men just because they aren't physically attracted to females? What exactly are you trying to convey with your homophobic words?

Certainly Junsu is a dumbshit and a pain in the ass, but I don't see why he'd be called a faggot. Please explain.

I'm a dude, who's part black trying to have the right to say 'Nigger'.
Possibly without being racist, but I don't know how that even works to begin with.

We don't have separate rules for members of different colours, we have a single set of rules which covers everybody. 'Nigger' is widely regarded to be a derogatory term and we therefore consider that word to be a form of discrimination which the rules are very clear about:

We do not tolerate any type of discrimination. This includes, but is not limited to, any form of racism, sexism, and/or stereotyping of any group.

On the internet where everyone is pretty much anonymous, the racist terms don't work and can easily be offensive. Someone could easily just be a white dude trolling.

I'm part black, am I still racist? Plot twist, dun dun DUN.

The idea that you're part black and therefore can't be racist is just about the stupidest things I've ever heard, and quite racist in and of itself.
But to be honest, I'm relatively new and have no idea if this is endemic or if you're just being stupid about it right now. So whatevz

Edit: It's only after I post that I realize it says "am I" instead of "and I'm", which changes what I got out of that quote a lot, so ignore that first line up there.

it depends on the usage and it's not black and white, so they can't say yes or no.

LOLOLOL

If anyone called me a nigger regardless of the colour of their skin or even if it was a joke, I would be pissed.

Does this mean we can ban iargue for discriminating against Mac users?

Does this mean we can ban iargue for discriminating against Mac users?

No. Because Macs suck.

Mac users aren't real people so unfortunately no.

Punk, tbh I call him a faggot as much as I would call him a bitch. Jaredenn's(?) has called me a faggot numerous times when I recently came back
almost 80% of my status he'd comment faggot, and I'd just laugh it off cause it was hilarious. My use of faggot has no relation to being homophobic or anything
harmful to gays at all. You're misinterpreting it just like iargue misinterpreting my use of 'Nigger'. I could easily say Bitch, but I try to be creative.

Waser, wahawhahahhahaWHAT? What's the difference between Nigga then?
But that's just it though, I'm not being racist or even remotely close to discriminating.
It's just how it was seen and understood, I guess. : /

@ Mac Users aren't real people. I don't know if that was sarcasm or not.

There is no difference.

Go to damn college, then you wouldn't have to worry about these stupid racist words; you would be satisfied with better vocabulary

"Half black" isn't the same has "part black". And I don't know if you meant to say , if you're black your skin's obviously black? Not necessarily true.
Waser, there actually is a difference, too lazy right now to explain tho. lol.

Toxic, what? lol. I'm currently in preschool, though. Eeewww. D:
I agree with what you quoted, Soul. But I personally have nothing against white people though. lol.

I was referring to the rules, the rule would still apply regardless or not of it being spelled slightly differently.

Ok I don't like how people are at the receiving end of blows here, no matter if someone set themselves up or not. If you guys want Derriere to change insulting him is not going to do that, it only eggs someone on.

This could have been constructive.

Topic closed. You guys are welcome to try again though.
