The name calling and insults need to stop

[Gunny]

Doesn't everybody have the ablility to "take away" rep points? It is only a matter of negative repping someone.

I think what he's trying to say is that mods/admins should punish the rude folk by manipulating their rep.

 

[JeffWartman]

what i was saying was, do you think, and it came across as me saying you said, i do have a bad habit of poor interpretation. Sorry.

I think a lot of people become annoyed by you trying to play "referee" all the time.

He said he'd give it a shot and behave.. Let'm try.

I am seeing an alarming rate of rudeness, cursing, name calling, rudeness, close mindedness, people not listening to each, and just talking over each other.

Its got to stop... and its got to stop now...

I completely agree that the petty name-calling should end.

How is that name calling? It's calling a spade a spade.. A duck a duck...

Look, you chick, you broad, it is petty and insulting. Let’s call a black person a ******. Face it, a Christian a better defined as a “Jesus Freak” or a “Holly Roller”. A person who chooses to wear glasses is “four eyed”. It is simply petty, low, and fallacious to any debate.

There are different definitions for different things. Not all blacks are *******... There are also some white *******, commonly referred to as "whiggers".. It's not an all-inclusive statement.

A duck can be nothing else, by definition, BUT a duck.. THEREFORE,

...a "fag" can be nothing else, by definition BUT a fag...

BTW.. Did it make you feel better to call me a "chick" and a "broad" all in one breath? Because neither of those terms phases me.. I'm probably, by some definition a :"chick", but I don't fit the standard derrogatory term of a "broad" as far as I know...

Consider this: I didn't call a member of this board a fag. I insulted no specific person. You're going too far with your relativism.

If that word offends you, DO try and get over it. I'm not politically correct and am perfectly happy not being so.

Fallacious? LMAO. Give me a break.

Calling things other than what they are for the simple sake of political correctness is about as BS as it gets.

That depends on what definition you use.

See: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/******

Since you condone name-calling, I define ****** as a black person.
Yet, when I use this clear and specific definition, I am using an extremely disparaging and offensive term.

On the other hand, see http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fag

A Fag might be a younger pupil in a British public school required to perform certain menial tasks for, and submit to the hazing of, an older pupil or it can be used as offensive slang for a homosexual.

In my book, a Christian is a crazy “Jesus Freak” and “Holly Roller”.
Look. Let’s cut through this garbage and stop using patently offensive terms for these things. Name-calling is simply wrong.

Okay. Whatever you say, jerk.

That would be "Asshole," and DO capitalize the "A" please. Thanks.

If YOU define a "******" as a black person, you're the one with the racial, and name-calling issues.

In my book, a Christian is a Christian, until they do something to label themselves otherwise, such as a "bible thumper", or what have you.. I know plenty of Christians who fit the BT definition, and plenty who are comfortable enough with their own religion to not throw it down anyone elses throat.

My guess is it's you that's the intolerant bastard here...

So instead of Christians, we have Jesus Freaks and Holy Rollers. Instead of people wearing glasses we have “four eyes”. Instead of a child born from parents of different races, we have zebras and half-breeds. Wow. What class.

You can call me "jarhead" if it makes you feel any better.

I'm having loads of fun..But this thread isn't currently "it".. It does well for background noise, tho.

If YOU define a "fag" merely as a homosexual person, you're the one with name-calling issues.

No. I don’t stoop to name-calling as a habit. I’m simply following other people’s examples to the extreme to prove a point. I am not intolerant. I do not use offensive terms as a practice. A homosexual is a homosexual. A Black person is a Black person. A poor white person is a poor white person. A Christian is a Christian. You are the one who does not seem to be bothered by petty name-calling, unless the name-calling is against something that you like because then you throw it back on me and suggest that I have issues.
