Actually, if you'll notice I didn't suggest banning the phrase, in fact you can use it all you want if you're willing to pay the price. Be my guest, I'm all for freedom of speech in addition to freedom of consequences.

Define "abuses". Does that mean anyone who uses it will be banned for a week?Originally Posted by sleeveboy
This is a ridiculous precedent either way. Some whiny bitches complain about a term that is harmless in its intent, and now we have mods arbitrarily choosing which insults can and can't be used. I think it kicks ass that I can be called a "Nazi" over and over, but "faggot-chan" is off limits. I guess that means that in your mind being gay is worse than exterminating millions of Jews. That's the only possible explanation.
That's an irrational explanation. "Abuses" would imply that it would require more than one statement for it to count. I imagine that it fits when someone has been using it to describe someone time after time.

Your comparison is insulting and inapplicable.Originally Posted by Yoshi
Calling someone a "faggot" is equivalent to calling a Black person a "nigger" or a Chinese person a "chink." It is a malicious slang term with no other purpose but to belittle and marginalize someone.
"Nazi," by contrast, is a German abbreviation referring to a member of the WWII-era National Socialist party. The term on its own is not synonymous with bigotry and hatred, though its members certainly practiced it.
I will not engage in semantic debates any further with you, Yoshi. If you continue to call people "faggots" I will not hesitate to ban you.

Sleeve's right you know.
And if you have the courage, ask a gay person about it. He'll tell you.
