Zone1 If leadership is forced to close a thread on a rule change...

It is rare to see it used here as an innocent definition of "a form of manipulation of thought." Most here try to use it as a workaround for a Pedo accusation.

And that is also where context matters. Unfortunately, like you say, it is being used as nothing more than a work around of the pedo rule.

Yes it is banned against other members. Please review the rules and guidelines located here.

So it is OK to use the term groomer, etc. when describing other people who are not members?

 

[jwoodie]

it is only banned when directed at a member.

Nonmembers who think like you are groomers.

 

[Captain Caveman]

...doesn't that tacitly admit it's probably a lousy rule?

Because, it involves the English language, something America is not really good at. Groomer and paedophile (the correct spelling) have different meanings, grooming is not exclusive to paedophilia.

Grooming means, "Grooming is when a person builds a relationship with a child, young person or an adult who's at risk so they can abuse them and manipulate them into doing things.
The abuse is usually sexual or financial, but it can also include other illegal acts."

A paedophile is, "A paedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to children". But this attraction has to be over so many weeks/months before the person is deemed/classed as a paedophile.

Why do the rule changes on word use only seem to go in one direction?

If Groomer is banned...why not Nazi? Or Racist? Or Anti-vaxxer?

What is special about this word that makes it different from the others?

My favorite is Taliban.

If a person opposes providing child porn to children they are called Taliban.

Sexual abuse, grooming and indoctrination of children is reaching a tipping point

With our attorney general calling parents terrorist and school districts having the idea that they OWN the children, the only way this can be dealt with is by direct confrontation. The groomers do what they do knowing the state gives them carte blanche to do so.

Parents need to step in and show them that they need to fear the parents if they continue with this shit

I nominate this thread for the "silly thread of the day award".

Why is a mod liking a flame only reply that adds nothing to the conversation?

I find it disturbing as to why suddenly grooming is such an issue on here.

I'm also paying attention to who defends and or enables it

How on Earth can you as a mod determine in what context the phrase "ok, Groomer" is being used?

Are you psychic?

Yep.

Unfortunately, those who support it are in complete control.

Schools should be teaching kids math and science instead of teaching them to question their gender and sexuality.

You just referred to a woman as male in order to insult and your post had no topical content.
