Zone1 A rule suggestion

[Sixties Fan]

But then why should n be prohibited but not c? Are we more concerned with protecting the feelings of blacks than women?

When any posters lowers their level to that kind of constant talk I put them on ignore.

That is all we need to do. The choice to put them on ignore is there.

Some people do not offer discussion but only foul language.

Ignore.

Personally, I don't think either of them should be banned, but that's not my call. They are not words I use, online nor IRL... well, I have been known to utter the "C" word a time or two, but only in extreme circumstances, only when truly deserved, and I did not apply gender limits in its use...

Don't get me wrong, I understand your pov, it's just that free speech is one of my favorite constitutional rights and the only limits I find acceptable are the ones that prevent causing a panic and directly inciting violence... and the incitement one is probably open to interpretation by some folks.

But then we have to apply the concept of free speech across the board. From what I understand, the word “groomer” is not allowed. When then the c-word? That is far more offensive.

Someone did - to me. When I objected, he said I deserved it.

My “crime” was not agreeing with his leftist viewpoint. They get really nasty when you don’t submit.

You did. If that word should not be used, it should be added to the list of banned words and it will be "****" out.
I can easily find a much more derogatory word to use if that one is troubling to you.

 

[iku]

True. Someone would be a real dick if he used a word like that to describe a woman.

But I have no problem using the word on some males, when appropriate. Because it fits them perfectly.

Guilty as charged, and it was well deserved.
If she is upset about that one, I have a long list much more offensive word used in other languages.

The word groomer is not allowed but advocating the process it describes sure is.

It all depends upon who is doing it, though. I was called a pedophile not just once in a thread by a certain poster, but twice. It remained for many hours despite mods seeing in, and when it was finally dealt with, I was thread banned for protesting.

The "c" word is not allowed here. If someone uses a work-around, my understanding is that's not allowed either. If you are indeed offended, report it. I am certain there will be a warning issued.

Thread banning for reporting bad behavior by a leftist is a form of silencing. They’ve turned it into an art form.

I did, and I hope it was.

some of the previous mods would delete or edit the post with a variation of that word.

I’ve never used that word myself. I’m usually a sweet gal. But some of these leftist males do bring out the worst in me at times.

Calling someone a leftist should be a banning offence.

 

[Mr Natural]

I suggest any man who addresses a woman on this site as a “c“ should be reported and banned.

How about men who call other men *****?

 

[Lisa558]

Calling someone a leftist should be a banning offence.

By that token, so should be calling people Trumpists, cultists, and threats to democracy.

Call them what? What letter does it start with?

Spoken as a true authoritarian leftist who despises every liberal principle imaginable.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

It all depends on who called you that and their connection to the mod staff.

If they were black or LGBTQ+, forget about it.

Well it was your idea in the first place.

Every libertardian principle, true.

I had a harmless meme that used the dreaded C word that wasn't even addressed to anyone in particular, that was removed.
Got a warning about bypassing the word filter.
