Can I still call a mod a dumbass? Angel

Since we no longer have mods, yes.

This isn’t something new - it’s been part of the Hate Speech rule for quite a little while. The  PSA was a reminder.

So for instance, if a politician used a racial slur I could only say something like:

Quote:Today X was caught on a hot mic saying a racial slur. You can find the clip first result on google.
Since I wouldn't be able to post a link either.

Correct?

Somebody should warn Violet.

I have used them in the context of discussing their social impact precisely because that usage might better convey the impact their victims feels at least a little, and thereby inform the discussion.

If the rules here forbid that, okay. I don't like it but it ain't my forum, and I'm not wedded to my own approach, even if I think this rule waters shit down.

I also know now there's some George Carlin videos I can't put up, which is a bummer.

If you’d bother to read the pertinent rule, you wouldn’t need to ask.
