Really? See post above.
Should be any time now right?

This thread is veering towards trainwreck and I think it can be locked up. Also glad that ‘foreigners’ are so happy to tell us that right wing trash should be able to call people ‘f*gs’ because otherwise it might infringe on their rights to talk about cigarettes. Maybe try adulting and get over it? You don’t own the language, everyone has to read these words so don’t be selfish.
Also d2 the look is not good in this thread and hope you will self-reflect a little about how what you say is perceived and whether it can realize the desired purpose before hitting the send button. It is a valuable life skill that some people will never learn.

I’m not sure that bumping a thread that has been dormant for 23 days to say you think it should be locked will have quite the effect you were hoping for.

My bad. Hope you learned something then at least.
It was heading for obscurity until you decided to stick your oar and your strawmen in like a ■■■■■

I mean its pretty clear you didn’t use the word with derogatory intent here but often it is no so clear cut, so my example was far from a strawman.
Finally someone screenshotting with a good color scheme.

Anyways sorry for the zombie bump but my vote is just to censor the word as that is by far the easiest solution for moderators and will reduce toxicity in my opinion. This thread was super painful to read and actually read all of it but the dates of the posts obviously.
I was talking about f*g which hasn’t been used for a couple of decades in the UK.
Believe it or not, I’m not in the UK so I wouldn’t know.
So don’t make unsupported claims about its use?

Whether or not the usage today is the same doesn’t make the analog irrelevant.
It isn’t used today, so your post is irrelevant.
You’re just being dense and we are unlikely to agree on this so good bye.

You (23 days late): ‘foreigners’ are so happy to tell us that right wing trash should be able to call people ‘f*gs’
Me: Most ‘foreigners’ haven’t used that for decades
You: I didn’t know that
Me: So stop making things up?
You: Its usage today has changed
Me: I’ve just told you it’s not used today
You: Boohooo I’m going 
Me: I can see why the thread title attracted you

Jal, you already had the last word. Or is this me getting the last word? How about one more post from you or d2_e4 and then we can let this go before it becomes 200 posts in About Moderation?
eta: Doing it this way so hopefully it doesn’t count as me getting the last word, but I wasn’t contemplating locking it, just hoping it dies of natural causes.
I’m good, but thanks for the offer. Lock it up.

Me having the last word would have been him disappearing quietly without a parting shot.
Lock it before he comes back in another 23 days.
