The fact is, people continue talking about banning people for using a word without any regard for context, because its a genuine problem. The fact that some want to brush it under the rug and force consensus AMPLIFIES the problem, not the other way around. Have we learned NOTHING from the media?
If I say "George called Fred a n*gg@r" am I being racist if George did indeed say that to Fred or am I reporting the news? According the draconian post that started this mess we are in, I would be immediately banned if I used the exact words someone said (you know, the truth). I would be banned for reporting the actual news, without a single hint of racism on my part.
Context always matter. Always. Anyone who says different is casting the exact same spell the media cast to put the human race to sleep and create the division that keeps us separated.

Explain to me how I was not civil. Are you really suggesting I should not discuss this in what I'm fairly certain is a very civil manner?
Am I the only one that sees a problem with that?
Am I the only one that sees where this is going?
This is exactly why you never start the draconian measures. Because they don't stop, they only ever get worse. And now it has infected GA.
I will not stop talking about it. I will not allow this otherwise excellent discussion board to be infected by Luciferian spellcasting tactics.
