[split] The word 'Nigger' and other slurs

[là bạn điên]

Yeah yunno, I don't treat any word like it's unspeakable, and even I use it jokingly, in company that I know won't be upset by it, but if a person is asking me nicely not to use it around them and they're not being provocative, isn't that just common courtesy?

Asking nicely is one thing. Giving orders is something else. Orders were given out by a person who had decided that as the originator of a thread she had the right to state rules (and that we had the duty to obey them).

I despise the anti free speech tendencies of the American 'progressive' (scare quotes intended) movement and the constant looking for offense in the passive/aggressive mode that is constantly demonstrated.
