Remind yourself what the text in bold above regarding semantic disagreement states.

Second,

The real question I ...

A) apparently didn't point to clearly enough, and
B) threw too much thought behind justifying why it should be asked is....

Why even bother having prominently displayed forum rules if nobody follows or cares to enforce them?

Makes zero sense that I would be ten years older since my first EQ romp, and yet have to time-travel back to the 7th grade to play on P99

- seasoned players are more than used to filtering out stupid stuff

- because the server is free, underage players and others who cant get credit cards can finally play.

The phenomenon should just simply be ignored like in real life, or you will have to go see a psychiatrist soon.

This.

Most people here do not respect the forum rules at all, for good reason: nobody ever faces any repercussions for their actions, unless someone trashes a GM, then they are all over it like white on rice.

Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.

If you're a full grown adult and get riled up by tasteless "humor" or speech in general, you've got a rough life ahead of you. I think hyper-sensitive, overly serious complainers are far more prevalent than truly intolerant people in our society these days.

In short, while I generally avoid using offensive race/sex/orientation related language.. I really don't care whether or not that language hurts your feelings, because if it does... you need to stop being a pussy.

Hey Loke, I don't wanna point fingers or anything, but I bet you get mad at this post =x.

^^ that the nasty above me?

Maybe awareness is the issue? I know that most of the GMs are good people who have reason to dislike bigots, so I doubt it is from a lackadaisical attitude to bigotry.

I hereby pledge to help change this. Every time someone uses a bigoted term I am going to report it by using the ! in the top right corner, file a petition post in the petition forum, and start a thread in rants and flames calling them out.

If I am not alone, and others do this sort of thing as well, I think we can force the issue enough to where people will see bans happening, and just cut it the fuck out.
