no. shut the fuck up. please. your opinions are out of date, pseudo-progressive, and only serve to cover up the past and current problems, and pretend they dont exist and that they don't have any impact on said minorities' current standing in the world.

The argument goes that banning "the n word" does more harm than good in the long run. Of course Tom has the right to do it on his forum because it's his fucking forum.
That's pretty much it, and y'all know it, but you're too busy villainizing DK to be intellectually honest about it. :idk:

CHUMLEY OUT!

Glad you decided to enter into all of our heads and see firsthand what the problem was. My only gripe with DK is that he kept on keepin' on. The rules have been laid out. There's nothing-no amount of bitching and moaning, that's going to change them. So why bother? The word has most definitely proven itself to be offensive to someone on this board. Therefore it's banned :idk:
GHOSTY OUT!

Fuck that. Thread was about bitching about the moderators. And then someone turned it into a "well, I think it's bullshit that we can't say *insert whatever slur here*". So like,then-someone said,"well no it's not bullshit" and 11 pages later, here we are. Then someone who apparently can read thoughts, said"Ahh yr just trollin' DK". :picard: I don't disagree with ANYONE because I just plain have it out for them. That's fucking petty and stupid. The word has proven itself to be offensive to someone on this board in another thread. Therefore, it's apparently a good thing it's banned, now ain't it? Now, more circle jerking. We put it to bed. OR, the alternative: FORUM WAR!!!

well, no, actually. the thread was all about telling people not to disagree with the moderators' PC moderating policies. folks took exception to that, and, as always happens when one disagrees with the PC position, the reaction was "we're morally correct, so shut up." and eleven pages later, here we are, because appealing to an illusory moral authority as justification for an arbitrary policy based on political whim is not a substitute for a substantive argument. i happily cede the point that Tom can do whatever he wants with the forum, but you're never going to win the greater argument because your position is morally and logically untenable.

So, Forum War?
See, again, you are NOT seeing the forest for the trees. You're a smart guy,man-but my GOD pick your fuckin battles! Why is it so hard to just say OK, I see where Tom's coming from. We want to encourage diversity on this board and not use /allow certain(like,3 or so words) so that we can? It's not a PC issue, it's a human decency issue. Shit pot stirred, 11 pages of thread. It's almost like one dude agreed with you, so now your balls are pumped up and here we are again... :idk:

Not true, check the title of the thread. This thread was not telling anyone they couldn't disagree with anything, it was simply asking people to "Stop the bitching about the mods". You are free to disagree but please stop bitching.

You haven't actually argued anything, there is no "greater argument" when discussing the forum rules and guidlines of ILF.
If you wish to discuss this "Greater Argument", start your own thread (or forum for that matter).

This is very simple. ILF has but one rule: "Don't be an Asshole", for this rule to be enforced someone has to determine what constitutes being an Asshole.
That person is Tom Dalton and he has decided that using certain certain words, in his opinion, makes you an Asshole.
In the context of ILF it doesn't matter what you or anyone else thinks, feels or believes.
If you can't abide by the rules or are offended by their existence feel free to leave.
The Internet is a big place, I'm sure you'll find somewhere that better suits your beliefs and interest.
