Should slurs be allowed for entire groups in discussions?

You don't care YET.

Would you care when I use the same sort of slurs in return?

If every time you post MAGAt, I said you were a libtard or a pedocrat, would you care then?
So, if somebody posts a generalized derogatory term, you think it's fair if you up the ante by specifically naming a poster by another derogatry term? No. That's not fair. That's escalating.

The original wrong was wrong in the first place. Another equal wrong is just as wrong. A more flagrant wrong is making things worse.

The problem with being disrespectful is it makes rational discussion impossible.

Instead of having political debates, then it just becomes an insult contest.

Oh whoopee do. Person A says something hurtful to person B. Person B then says something even worse to person A. And on and on, each testing the rules of the site until somebody crosses the line and gets suspended or banned.

What's the point?

Just unloading frustration? A target is located. Dump load of frustration on them. There. Did that fix things? No. The sources of the frustration, the misunderstandings, are still there.

Everyone can't be right. Where there is disagreement, somebody is in the wrong. It might be both sides.

People need to try to be more considerate. Listen as much as speaking. More is a really good idea.

Your fellow Americans are your countrymen and countrywomen. Not the enemy!

What are ya trying to do? Rip this nation apart?

A true American wants to preserve the nation. See it last for their children and grandchildren.

People need to stop listening to so much propaganda and place things in the proper perspective.

You think people haven't been using terms like that? It's always funny seeing the party of "**** your feelings" complain about hurt feelings.
 
The Golden Rule of course...
I 100% know what I've done. In fact in reality, not your little fantasy I see many events well before the "common sense" or general public see them including Trump being elected in 2024. The fact you would attempt to claim expertise about MY family is a type of narcissism that almost goes beyond classification.


Way to display your pure ignorance. Democrats would take away my actual life. They pushed lockdowns, vaccines including passports, and they care nothing about the borders or rule of law whereby someone from wherever can kill me and my family on a joyride on their way to their next fentanyl drop. I personally have invested in inflation hedges because the dollar has lost purchasing power since taken off the gold standard no matter who is in power. You're a bufffon spouting nonsense.



Since the "libs" want to own EVERYONE lock stock and barrel and literally see most of humanity as their personal slaves, anything that gives me back my own autonomy there is a win.
 
I doubt you accept the opposite. We've seen Democrats demand censorship repeatedly.
Democrats are not demanding censorship here. That is you doing it. Do you always blame others for your actions?
 
Two wrongs do not make a right. However when only one of the two wrongs are called wrong it does sort of make a right.
Wrong is wrong. It is better to be considerate even if the other is not. We cannot control others. We can only control ourselves. If we justify wrong, then we cannot claim to be right. And we can have no expectation that the country will be great through doing wrong.
 
It’s a private website with rules made by the owner and those that run the site.

Follow the rules or don’t.

Pretty simple stuff.

This is a discussion about those rules.

You seem very nervous and keen to distract from that point. I'm suggesting MAGAt is a violation of rule 3 at a minimum. I won't waste time reporting it if that is not the case but it's pretty simple stuff to get that question answered and then demand you and others follow that rule.

I've also asked via this discussion for clarification on similar phrases like libtard and pedocrat. If I use them generically, which is easy to do, I will follow the rules according to you.

Here is a future example...

Pedocrats are just sad that Trump will cut off their flow of kids> Biden gave them 300k of them to exploit but since they like them young, they always need a fresh supply. They're terrified in four or more years they'll run out of fresh meat.

See, that is applied generically, not personally and according to what you pretend not to care about, is just appropriate and within the rules of this privately owned forum.
 
I'd argue that they qualify under several of those categories but I'd also just note it is a slur.



Trump supporters are often attacked due to race being referred to as almost exclusively white even when exit polls show that isn't true.



Trump supporters are often derided for being Americans by people who basically see themselves as global citizens. (No one is illegal, no arbitrary lines drawn in the dirt mean anything.)



There have been a huge array of allegations toward MAGA supports claiming they are Christian Nationalists which hits several of these.



I've done my bit here.

I'd suggest avoiding the Pedocrat slur, given the daily toll of right wing Christianist pastors (and occasional wives) being arrested for kiddyfiddling and worse.

Actually they are demanding censorship here every time they hit the report button.

Wrong is wrong. It is better to be considerate even if the other is not. We cannot control others. We can only control ourselves. If we justify wrong, then we cannot claim to be right. And we can have no expectation that the country will be great through doing wrong.

That is a nice platitude. The rules here control everyone and their interactions on these forums. You and others claim you aren't for censorship yet seem triggered by even a discussion about the rules. Why do you prefer to operate in the dark?

I was going to use it in my thread about arrests of entertainment figures and teachers.

You’d be wrong in that assumption.

I don’t make or enforce the rules here or enforce them.

Do you really think democrats are the only ones to hit the report button? Do you think people using the report button will distract from you calling for censorship here?
 
So you'll support my use of Pedocrat for Democrat? How about Libtard?
I've used libtard before. I have bigger things to care about.

But I'm not letting you get away from comparing MAGAT to the N-word. That's such an embarrassing take I have trouble taking anything you say seriously.

Do you really think no one knows what a rhetorical question is?

Imagine a world where no one cares about your sanction.

You don't have to imagine. No one cares about your sanction but by imagining, I thought it would break it do you more easily.
 
In this case I'm speaking about the specific slur MAGAts or sometimes spelled MAGAT.

I"m certain if I used the f-word variant, the n-word, all these bitches, or called all Democrats Pedocrats or something along those lines, it wouldn't be tolerated.

So is MAGAT tolerated because everytime I read it my fingers really want to type PEDOCRAT or some appropriate return slur I will think up that I believe is just as clever.

Thanks in advance.
Clearly you have not seen the name calling that is rampart on this forum and by our leaders of both parties. Only the most bias and prejudice who refuse to see the truth believe it is only 1 side calling names. Unbelievable.
