Lol. Exactly.

Using his own logic 5ive would be the biggest ****ing idiot in this forum.

Which is probably not that far from the truth to be fair.

(reply to mongidig's post)

What's my logic? Be specific.

Probably? I mean it doesn't offend me personally but in extreme-PC land I wouldn't expect it to be acceptable.

I don't think it's an actual slur. I just read the Wikipedia on it and I couldn't tell.

Chez? Can we get a ruling?

wil,

I am a crossdresser considering taking hormones and possibly later doing ffs(for now im just a guy who wears womens clothes) it can be a slur but..its fine. its most insulting if someone is mtf and totally passes and is proud of it.
similairly shemale is a slur but its not a big deal- for a totally different reason its a porn term for people who identify as female.

I dont give a **** if a guy uses either or personally.

'Ladyboys' is mostly fine in this context as it's referencing a specific group in specifically SE Asia.

Believe me, I hate juan valdez with the burning fire of one thousand suns, so if he ****ed up I'd be the first to say.

You're basically on here every day crying about something or other, and you're calling other people overly emotional?

Too rich.

Whosnext and chezlaw are Momma's VERY good boys who moderate just the most vibrant discussion place. Lot of learning. Lot of minds being changed. No un-PC stuff AT ALL except literally every ****ing thread. But if you imply that you know someone else's real name, well, both you and the person you're threatening get the banstick. For ****'s sake

What the hell? I just read the new rules and bans. Breitbart is not allowed? Period? Full stop?

I can understand it easily being subject to show proof or don't RE-post a point rule. But what? Full stop? How about Salon? How about the Washington Post? They are certainly biased and prone to some misleading news. I don't have an ax to grind with Breitbart. Really. Stop before you say I support every Breitbart position. I don't read Breitbart, meaning not regularly. Maybe 5 total articles.

I am just concerned about stopping the free flow of ideas.

These are to be avoided. In particular that means no more calling people 'bitches' or '******s'.

Breitbart
Links to Breitbart were banned primarily because the site is not a credible source of news and the site is so at odds with the PC approach of this forum. Give the fact the site is mainstream these days, and the objections raised from posters across the political spectrum, we are going to try out the following compromise. If it causes too many problems then we will reevaluate.

For now, links from Breitbart will be allowed provided:

1) The post containing the link includes a substantive quote of the linked article and forms part of some relevant argument being put forward by the poster.

2) Anything hateful or nonPC is expressly banned - the poster is responsible for both the quote and the content of the links. Posters who flout this rule will be subject to an immediate timeout from the forum.

3) Breitbart links will not be counted as a credible source.

Quid pro quo - wanting to appear even handed.

With 8 bans already, wilthetwat is 3 ahead of the field and bookies' red hot favourite to get a perma (will never happen because without him P8.8 is dead).

So, going partially down the path of identifying the company is not threatening to dox? Identifying just the financial status of the company is not threatening to dox? What if the country headquarters was added? The region? The city? What if the company size was added? I disagree. It was a thread to dox.

I really tried to give whosenext the benefit of the doubt, but this is just blatantly dishonest.
