Such a limited vocabulary, you can't even retype a word I had already used with the correct spelling. By the way, by definition, the use of a name other than the correct one is name calling.

This is the internet. I'm not really all that concerned about vocabulary, especially since it seems to be something you have a lil OCD tick about, makes it more humorous for me. And technically if I called you by your proper name, isn't that still name calling? I'de be callin you a name no?

regardless, your gettin side tracked from the first argument, which means your on here just to whine and bitch and troll about things that only people like you care about. Whiney lil Anus.

No, it's not the same thing. If you're trying to equivocate a name like "Ilikepie" to "Iliketokilljews" then I can't be bothered to waste time engaging you in a civilized conversation about the matter, and I'm more patient than most.

I'm not saying that I don't see a difference, but he stated that people shouldn't go around being offended, except for ones he finds offensive, which is contradictory (not saying hypocritical, because people take that as an insult, and I'm not trying to go there). I think we all agree the racist shit is retarded and shouldn't be tolerated, but that's still our opinion. Some people love dead baby jokes and killing cat jokes. Others get offended. Censorship of any kind is censorship, it's one of the "eye of the beholder" things.

Yes, it's their server and this is a private affair so it's ultimately their rules, for better or worse. But, to suggest chuck had a flawed or contradictory argument is absolutely absurd.

To use metaphor/simile, It's like you're saying that burning jews alive is only bad because it pollutes the environment, and if someone can prove it doesn't pollute the environment it's prefectly fine to burn jews alive. There are more than just environmental factors, like you know, humanitarian consderations etc.

That doesn't equate at all. Naming a character in a fake game - worst case someone gets butthurt. Burning people = murder. If nothing else, at the very least it's illegal to kill people =P. We're talking about censorship on names, not actions in the real world.

You're saying that arbitrating a difference between being offended by racism and being offended by silly names is unacceptable, but you turn around and say that it's perfectly okay to arbitrate a difference between murder and offending someone.

Please. I don't have time for your demagoguery here; take it somewhere else.

Don't forget all the weed names. Yes, some folks on the server smoke weed, good for you. Honestly who gives a shit it's practically legal in the US now - that's like having a name like Ieatredmeat or Idrinkwater. It's supposed to ENHANCE your imagination - so get really baked and come up with a better name than "Smokesweed."

My name is not now, nor has it ever been affiliated with marijuana.

As long as it doesn't have f**k, c**k, d**k, p***y (or a alternate spelling of the aforementioned words,) or have drug, racist, or crude sexual connotations, I couldn't care less.

Arsnova - wizard
Garrote - rogue
Panacea Placebo - cleric
Pestilencia -shadowknight
Virulence - shaman
Decrepus - necro

Are these acceptable to you good sirs?

NO You can't have ANY of these.

Arsnova - Has ars in it!!! Ars is ass!!! And Nova is a real word!! YOU CAN'T HAVE WURDDSSSS!!!!11

Garrote - Sounds like a person name. This is a game! GAME NAME PLZ! And it sounds like Carrot! UNNACCEPTABLE!

Panacea - Goddess of healing in Greece. NO FAKE GODS WE ONLY ACCEPT EQ GODS!!!! And you can't have there names EITHER!

Pestilencea - Pesilence is a infection caused by rats, BUT ONLY IN RL, You can't use that plz k plz... And it also sounds like Pest, someone who annoys you, and the encea sounds like a disease. Don't do that makes you sound like a troll omg don't k?

Virulence - A word for anger. trolls are angry DONT TROLL K SRSLY PLZK ? Quit using words your not allowed k?! srs....

I agree completely, But some people are way to in depth with there creamy fantasy world that they can't get passed people having names that have real world words, resemblence or meaning, ect.

Kind of sad.

So many mistakes in there, it's not even funny anymore, the only person I see whining, bitching and trolling here is you.

The argument was about non-fantasy names in a fantasy game.

A concept you seem unable to grasp with the miniscule peanut rattling around inside your head that you try and pass off as a brain.
