Rwanda to start mourning week for genocide anniversary

[deleted-05292014 331]

Why do you feel above the rules?

It is a direct violation to insult or slur a fellow VJer.

If you are free to call a person one slur, does that entitle them or another to choose a slur or insult for you>? And where does that lead?

Tell ya what, knock the chip off your special shoulder and deal with the subject of the post or just move on to another post.

An apology is in order.

Whom did I slur? can you quote the slur?

If you're referring to Jinx calling him the head racist, then maybe you should talk to Lost. Because that's the name Lost has given himself. He identifies as such, and seems to be so proud of it that he has to put those words in red font.

So, why should Jinx apologize for calling him something that Lost seems to take great pride in being called?

You make a wrong assumption to think you or others can take a slur out of a contextual quote and use it for your own.

To do so only serves to lead others not aware of it's in context usage.... that they too can use such slur words at will on the board.

If you are using a word or term from other person, the use of quotes is required no?

If not, am I free to throw the term "#######" around? by rightly claiming it is a common term homosexuals use, even in the names of organizations and publications.

I'm not assuming anything. I just find it interesting that Lost has been saying it for quite a while now. And while several members(Penny, Teddy, Papa, MDB, Jinx, Janelle, and myself) have called him out on it and probably reported him, you've been quiet as a church mouse. Yet, in your mind it makes sense to chastise Jinx for using it, all the while ignoring the person who uses it almost daily.

Bottom line: You are free to use such terms about yourself, it is a violation to use these terms when describing another member.

Show me in the TOS where it says you can use a slur to describe yourself with no issues, but a member who calls you on it is a problem.
