The Great C-Word Referendum - A Poll

It’s all a storm in a teacup but as Flynn says in the other thread insisting it’s sexist wherever it’s used is about ignorance-based parochial, insular American hegemony of the type that got you into the mess your country’s in now more than anything. Still, that’s your problem.

Good to see you’re admitting that you told one of the like only 4 females on the entire site to “shut up” in the thread about the c-word.

Nice try. No, I’m telling you that.

I guess this was destined to be the continuation of the previous thread (or at least what I assume it was).

I see both sides throwing stones again (including mods) but jeez I wonder who is going to end up with temp bans this time…

Wait so if the community comes together and says a word should not be censored and a mod says they are going to ban people who use it going against the communities wishes there should be no pushback or criticism?

Then why have rules or banned words. Just let anyone who is a mod make it up as they go.

You’re right.

It has more to do with the “fuck your feelings” attitude on display in this very post, and all across these threads by certain members of the forum. The insistence on use of the c-word (or the “principle” behind it, lol) is just a symptom.

Exemplary use of ignore function imo

How would you describe a clear and obvious disregard for the opinions of the people most impacted by the outcome of this vote in a totally impersonal manner?

Well the Skydiver “incident” was proceeded by a 30-ish post argument between wookie and jal where wookie was giving as good as he got. Then sky entered and threw a temper tantrum. Maybe she should have temp banned herself?

Seems to me a couple of the mods didn’t like the result of the vote and refused to let it go.

The thing is, its not going to affect them at all if its use is restricted to places they never go. That’s what was agreed, happily.

The rules are more like guidelines, just like the pirate code.

It’s been posted already and the poster didn’t get perma’d. I’m not sure if they even got a temp ban for it.
