No one should be banned based on word use, but based on context.
There is a word out there that sounds like a racist term but has nothing to do with it:
Niggardly - Someone who is extremely stingy.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/niggardly
The only sin this word committed was that it sounds like the bad word.
I believe the N word can be used if we are discussing it and using it as a historical context. It should also be accept as a term of endearment between friends.
As a racist term, then that's a different problem.
I agree 100%.
I wholeheartedly support the mods and their efforts to keep this place decent and productive. The people who gratuitously use that word are almost undoubtedly shills, or if not that, people with hate soaked hearts that aren’t a credit or contributor to this community.
However, I would hate to see this place turn into a cancel culture hell, like a Papa John’s racial sensitivity phone call that costs Papa John his company or a TCU locker room (https://www.theblaze.com/news/college-football-coach-apologizes-n-word) that almost cost the coach his job, just because some honky dares utter “nigger” in the process of making a genuinely constructive and uplifting point.
Yes, context is everything. I would, thus, like to see the heavy-handed mod message that precipitated this discussion to be softened to reflect that we ARE going to be blunt and non-PC here... just not hatefully destructively so.
This is a very well-worded and reasoned comment. I honestly hope you're not banned for mentioning the N-word.
Thank you.
It’s kind of a test.
This post makes me snigger
Don't be a niggard. Share that shit.
what about riggers? can we talk about the riggers in PA, MI, GA & others?
for now... Until mods would go full woke...
They always show up to the date late.
or arrive too soon
:)
fuck you, choke on some more dicks you crybaby fag

Can we get a poll on whether to keep certain mods? His post started this whole argument amongst ourselves. I haven't been here very long but that has been the most inflammatory post I've seen thus far. I have not seen anyone use the "N" word anywhere on these forums. If they do use it then we downvote the shit out of their post and let them know we don't agree with what they say.
No words should be banned. Who defines context? It's a slippery slope. Freedom of speech is absolute.
hahahah
But... that requires logic and reasoning. It's easier to just blanket do stuff, you know, like how the elite who run the world we hate so much does it.
