I did t know that. I guess I really didn't think about that before posting. I apologize.

You really have no idea why the bolded words are offensive?

They might give someone else pause and possibly a reason to choose to be offended; for example, someone who'd hallucinate that people who dislike or even hate something Brian did musically translates to hatred for the man himself. My reply remains the same as it has many times over when I've been asked about my assumed ignorance of why something I say is "offensive" - if one chooses to be offended at what I've said, well, I find myself in the curious position between merely not giving a damn and apathy. One can expend the energy to choose to be offended or one can put on his big boy pants and move on with life. The sooner more of us do the latter, the better, I'd say!

One could also put on his big boy pants and not say things they know are uncivil.

Let's just say that being a mod here will force you to grow a thick skin.

2real bb: does it have to be either? Can't a mod be thick-skinned AND still offended? F.ex. like I said I do not accept cursing yet no amount of cursing will make me upset to the point of leaving board.

Exactly. And, I don't know, but I was raised to respect others and the difference between others. But hey, that's just me apparently. 

To put it bluntly. ..

Political correctness has a habit of being overly used. The issue over "the r word" is particularly silly, seeing as how the word originated(i believe) as a strictly musical term, and may need to be used as such. Of course, you wouldn't use it in front of develop mentally challenged adults or children. That's just common sense. But among others, I tend look at it as a typical school slang for stupid.

Edit: But It is a board rule. I forget to look at those sometimes.  Grin

So using the word "retarded" as a slang for stupid (which was how it was intended in reference to the signature discussed in my original post) is now against the rules? Good to know. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

The rule doesn't actually specify "words that might hurt your feelings", but I guess that's a given.

No, it was the 'pantywaist' comment, although you have used 'retarded' as a slur before here and, if you recall, several people here weren't happy about that, including an honored guest or two.

That'd end with just about everyone banned.

If we have a discussion on the comedian Jerry Lewis, are we allowed to talk about his movie, "The Patsy"? Or "Cinderfella"?   Evil

The British may be soft-spoken and polite but they didn't spread their empire by being pantywaists. Smiley

No, I'm not mocking you. I was playing along with Ognir, not mocking anyone.

Ok, making sure.

Also, since pantywaists is mainly used as a slur these days (at least during 99% of our lifetimes), yeah, I'd strongly suggest against using it in the future.

I've always known it to be analogous to "sissy."

That's hardly offensive though, just a childish insult.
