I really don't care who brought it up first and I'm not hereto stir up anything -- please recognize the fact that I never mentioned you or anyone directly. I just thought the use of that term, in this particular circumstance, was derogatory and offensive to some. That's all.

I once used the term "oriental" instead of the more acceptable "asian" to describe the appearance of a baby shown in an episode of Lost (this was on another forum). Someone jumped down my throat saying "oriental is a rug" and how what I said was offensive. I had no intention to offend, but I have not used that term since then. I still don't know what the big deal is or was, but it offended at least one person and it's no skin off my nose to use a different term.

I wonder if it was anyone else other then rooneypoo would you be making this much of a stink. This just reeks of pettiness.

If Kovalev injures himself whiffing on a shot, and I post "come on nancy, suck it up!' is that deemed offensive?

What rules? Are you saying I should not be allowed to speak up if I find something offensive? I didn't go back and edit/delete any posts, and I did not add a banned-word entry for the term; I'm also not asking for a retraction or public apology. Just stating an opinion.

No, this is not directed at RP. When Shabbs originally wrote it I thought it was just a typo (never made the connection to "vagina" -- I thought he was going for "sore bag" -- which, although still crude, is not offensive). I clued-in when it was spelled out in the GDT.

I "slept on it" and still felt the same this morning, so when Clutch brought it up I spoke out.

Whatever your nose is smelling, it's not my pettiness.

It's not the specific word; it's the fact that it is used in a derogatory way to equate or correlate someone's inability to play through injury with being female.

Well thanks for setting me straight. Not only are you the self appointed moral authority around here, but now you are telling people how they ought to interpret things? Wow.

Between the not-so-subtle swipes at rooneypoo, the above mentioned moral authority issue, the incredibly annoying habit of correcting people's grammar etc., you are a real piece of work.

Morality? When did that come up?

Grammar? GAC. And, trust me, I let it go far more often than not. I've really tried to restrain myself, but the meds don't always work.

And if *my* comments are misinterpreted, I think I am well within my rights to inform.

As for my so-called "not to subtle swipes at rooneypoo", sorry, I will try to be more subtle next time.

Really, Hemlock, you used to be one of the good ones. I want the old Hemlock, with the stick-figure avatar back.
