Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

Sure, lets summarise all the opinions:
- gandalf calls it "a poem by rudyard kipling"
- soy calls it "US defense language"
- Executor compares it to nazi propoganda
- I call it "a minor PC blunder"
- brxbrx calls it '"noble savage" style condescension'
- half of us consider it racism
See what you did there? You left the realm of serious discussion.


Ok, so Calahan put a link to a porn site in his sig.

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

I'm not comparing it to anything.
If such statements, which like I said people clearly mark racist or whatever, are okay solely by being based on references (Gandalfs comment) than any other reference that is as well in conflict with said moral conducts should in fact be considered okay. Otherwise I call double standards on Shrapnel.
Nazies are just an absurd example.

EDIT; Not that that particular comment has anything to do with Kipling.

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

I have.

So you say...

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

what does this say about the other half, i wonder

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

Most likely that they are unaware of the ramifications of certain words and the impact of their use. It could also mean that they are in fact racist, but it's better to assume the first

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

lol nope, nice try

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

You don't have a sense of humor lying around somewhere? I consider ALL censorship hypocrisy, especially automated censorship. That's my opinion, so it cannot be factually wrong. I could explain why I hold this position but why bother, it's boring to explain the obvious and everyone smart enough can figure it out by themselves. And I'm not a guy, it's getting tired of the default masculinum that makes me use a picture of myself as avatar, but I guess that's not obvious enough.

I assume whatever other post you're referring to being a similar case.

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

I apologise. 1 out of 3 for correctness and 3 out of 3 for rudeness. I don't see your avatar.. maybe I turned them off or smthing.

yah, nice troll. Well he has posted a rough facsimile now so at least my idle curiosity is sated ^^

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

your name is fantoMEN. i think that is why people incorrectly think you might be a guy.

i am totally with you on cencorship(except swear words in elementary schools-im pro censorship there)

Re: The Joys of Overzealous Mods
 

Fan-to-men, that breakdown should statistically make me a woman 9 times of 10 and gay male 1 out of 10, the slightly ironic truth is that I'm a lesbian.
