The Joys of Overzealous Moderators - Page 8

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.

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.

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

Thats the third time I've seen you make a completely false accusation in almost as many posts. At least learn the words, there's no dignity in being a rude guy thats always wrong ^^

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.

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.

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.
