Anybody know how our Southern fancy fellows voted today?

You checked, huh?

15. No posting racial slurs of any kind in thread titles, it will result in the title being changed and may result in a ban for repeat offenders.

As long as the slur isn't in a thread title, it's not proscribed.

Is that the link I posted?

Is that the link I posted?

Nope. It's the link I checked and saw no rule 15.

I guess it's an older one?

I think you actually had to scroll past the Rules to get to that old link. You didn't see a Sticky: Rules of the Board! link at the top of the page?

Oh there it is. No clue why it led me to the old link. Thanks.

Well, I think the OP is old school. Like Clint Eastwood old school.

Having known the OP for some time, I think your assent is incorrect. But that's just my opinion.

You're probably right. At least he didn't call them the N word.

I just noticed he changed the title.

Did you read my post #2? I asked him if he's old school.

He didn't change shit. have you been following the thread?

Yeah. I noticed the dialect, too. "Is you old school"?

Was that satire?

 

[AProudLefty]

The title now is "Anybody know how our Southern friendly dudes Voted today?"

The previous title was "Anybody know how our Southern Negros Voted today?:

Yeah. I noticed the dialect, too. "Is you old school"?

Was that satire?

Nope. I wanted to make sure he wasn't being racist.

Read Rule 15 and get back to me. You'll find that the prohibition on racial slurs only applies to thread titles, and there's a reason for that.

The bottom line is this: JPP decides what is acceptable. Not Wikipedia, not the NAACP, not me, and not you.

If you want to make yourself an asshole about this, go ahead. I consider Grind's method of dealing with it to be extremely kind and gentle. My advice is to suck it up and move on. Start fucking with the bull, and you might get the horn.

I've been told, or the implication is, that the word 'Negro' is a 'slur'. I will jot that down in my 'Forbidden Words' book.

No need for the drama, Obama. Just don't use it in a thread title again. K?

Well, no shit? /s

I don't think you need to worry about that.

 

[Legion]

Obama?

It's a rhyme. "Mama' wasn't appropriate if I want to respect Jack's pronouns.

 

[AProudLefty]

Well, no shit? /s

And yet you said he changed nothing?

I don't think you need to worry about that.

Okay but I think I'll be the judge of it myself. I haven't seen much of his previous posts that indicate that he's racist.

Ah. Well I guess it's a hearing thing.

Wrong. I support JPP and it's commitment to Free Expression. I like to bring out the 'Politically Correct' types. The ones that are self-righteous. The ones that will be first to burn the books and destroy the Museums and Libraries in the name of Party Cohesiveness. These are the 'Word Nazis' that your mother warned you about.

What I mean is those old men who have been through those times when people called them Negros or coloreds without being racist. I mean NAACP even have the fucking word "colored".

I did say that, because it's a fact. Jack didn't change the thread title. Ask him.
