The French don't have a problem with it, it isn't the same thing. They view you as ignorant and laugh at you when you insult them based on their nationality. What you are to them is a form of entertainment, and they don't want me to change that in any way. Just ask them, you'll see, they'll agree with me on that point.

I do not permit hate speech toward Jewish people either, and never have here. I've edited posts where people were calling each other "jew fucks". The rules have been equally applied.

But, as a white person, you and I both know that the word "cracker" is not considered a serious insult. Neither of us are bothered when we hear it, or if you are, the label truly applies to you, and then I feel sorry for you if you are telling me you are actually white trash and thus offended by that term.

I'm not banning shit that is retarded and so you can play games with me and see how far you can push shit to the limits. I'm banning things that if you said to someone's face in RL, they would beat the crap out of you.

Quit acting like you don't know the difference and please stop wasting my time.

Where in the HELL did I say this should be the ONLY racial slur that can't be used? What kind of friggin logic is that? If you got a thread about other racial slurs link them to me so I can hop over there also. This was primarily about one and how I responded to it.

Seriously I wonder how you get from A to B sometimes.

Show me just one other person on this site who would also be offended if they were called a cracker, and I'll ban that word also.

Fuck you for being a jackass and wasting my time like this.

Its called afirmative action.. you can insult anything you want if its white and male the only true minority is white and male... don't believe me go find a grant for us... or see how much harder a job can be for us to get regardless of qualification. and when you say the W.E.T. channel you don't think of a white entertainment channel... well maybe... and our history pride month, you could say we have 11 unofficial months of that ... I guess.... yes we must protect the feelings of the special =p



phew.. made it without talking about NAFTA ... dammit almost.

Sorry but I don't think any devs are gonna be scared away from a single word that doesn't really hold the weight it use to. There are shit loads of devs from pretty much every MMO that post over at FoH, and they got porn shit and the hole 9 yards, a real no limit site.

I see how this site is these days, it's just to impress people and the devs to look like a hot shot. Not what it's original purpose was, when dev posts didn't matter.

Snarks is offended by cracker

I'm offended that people are offended... how many rap videos use the N word? almost every damn one!


I'll put it simply being "P.C. is the death of reality"...

if a word offends you then you lose at life.

I disagree, freespeach does exist. I forget which judge said it =( But he said it best.
Your Rights end where Mine Begin.
In other words you have the right to do whatever you like untill your rights infringe on anothers.

But that isnt an excuse for half ass poltical correctness. If anything Niger is slang for Negro, which is simply spanish for Black. Please Explain why it is Racist to call a Black Man Black?

If anything the use of the word simply potrays ones ignorance of the Real words. So let the Ignorant use what they like, all it shows is that they are indeed Ignorant and in need of being educated.

As Kazzi's original dumb ass post was.

One Fable I've allways liked is the story of King Arthur and the knights of the round. It was king authurs Belief that NO man was above the law, not even a King.

By Filtering one word that is offence to one group of people you have put them on a pedestal above the rest. Thats simply unacceptable, the color of skin does not make one superior to the other. So Please filter all Race based slang or none at all.
