Bruce - You must have missed this follow-up to that post you are touting around like a sin: Message 19114551 >>>How on earth is calling a black person the n word correct for the context?<<< Because that is a derogatory term used only for black persons, whereas "trash" is just an insult. I did not mean "correct" as "deserved". You probably feel you have found a gem, but it ain't a show of racial prejudice or slurring. Sorry to disappoint you. By the way, if X's statement of "no calling any group "trash" or any other offensive name" is too difficult to understand for you, you might like to stick to threads where there is no such understanding and you can call anyone anything. Wasn't it you who was ostracised over on Ken's Foreign Affairs thread for your rather insensitive comments about the American peace activist woman run over by an Israeli tank that she was trying to stop by lying in its way? Oh, here you are... Banned from the thread for a couple of days, added to the "ignore" lists of several people, and called "the most disgusting person on SI". siliconinvestor.com I guess your difficulty in comprehending the boundaries of acceptable posting behaviour is not limited to this thread. Unless, of course, you know perfectly well what X meant but were just trying to stir up some controversy...
