OK, word police, make a list of words that everyone on the Earth must avoid using on this forum. Make sure your list is totally comprehensive so that nobody could ever take offense or misconstrue the meaning. Make sure that the meaning of the word you use is not different everywhere else in the world. From my experience on how different cultures can take great offense I will start the list; milk, fanny, moron, fag, fastidious, bitch, liberal, virgin, oriental, dog, mankind, sissy, crap..... I am sure I can come up with another 100 easily. Remember if you use any of the words I have listed, you are being intentionally offensive and deserve to have your account suspended. |

Easy.... All I am suggesting is that if you can use alternatives, then think about it. |

I have been on hundreds of forums before this one and any forum has the problem of becoming an echo chamber. But that is just the nature of forums. I have been shocked at how kind and helpful everyone has been in my few postings on the Beginners forum here. I can think of dozens of other boards where the same question would have turned into 2 pages of memes and name calling and no help. If there are people who keep getting in trouble they could get put on posting probation for a couple days or something so they can visit but not post until they're off posting probation. :-/O |

I have just seen so many otherwise intelligent people brought to tears over words. Seriously, it is impossible to not offend somebody somewhere. In some places you get beheaded for saying a wrong word. People take offense, and it is not anybody's right to not be offended. I used the words I did because I was upset and wanted to express my complete disgust at how people act like assholes and get into pissing contests that swamp the original OP's question with childish behavior and pointless bickering. Words have uses. If I want to express myself I choose the words that fit my feelings. To tell me that I am not allowed to use a certain words that fit my feelings is the same as censorship. That is what is under my skin. |
