How about no? What hurts people is entirely subjective. It's up to the person that feels hurt to deal with it, not everyone to turn into nannies like Gwarsbane trying to prevent every possible offense. If you still want to enforce subjectivity, let's begin with me. I hereby deem the word "Gwarsbane" offensive to me. So, in the spirit of being fair, let's force him to change his name. Then, I'll stop using the word "nigger". Oh, what, doesn't make much sense now? Thought so.

Also, you do remember me using the word? Perhaps in discussions and arguments, but do you remember me using it directly in a racist context toward someone? That, I'd like to see. After all, Gwarsbane needs some help finding evidence to back up his lies.. ahem, I mean, claim that I have used the word in a racist context here on these forums. He needs someone to type the word into the search bar for him, because, after-all, mere use of the word regardless of context makes you a racist.

were you enslaved for hundreds of years and called "gwarbane" as a derogatory term??

the word n**** is insensitive and should not be used in an open forum.

i am asking you, politely, to please stop throwing that word around like is has no meaning and hasnt been used to berate a specific race.

EDIT: and no, i do not recall you specifically calling someone a n** in a racist context.

i'm not arguing that it makes you racist to say it, i'm arguing that this is an open forum and that word should not be used.

i say it myself, but i am respectful of the ppl who may read or hear it when i use it, as you should be

As much as I hate to say it, I agree with Bridget on this one.

I've experienced discrimination, for my appearance, my race, and my beliefs. Yet I'm white, so some say that it doesn't count.

six things:

1. Iggy is a terrible moderator and since he rubbed the fact that Bridget lost his spot in beta in Bridget's face publicly, I think Iggy should lose his moderator status. I mean... I'm not defending Bridget here but cmon! The guy is completely useless... is this something a moderator should post? Is this the kind of guy we want representing FF's forum's? The same guy that was going to let me off the hook after explicitly calling Gambit a faggot? Someone please call waste management - thanks!

2. Old Timers gave me 2 chances. One was swearing = permaban. Lifted after posting on their shitty forums, and within 24 hours I was banned permanently again for what they call using a "server crashing script" which never happened.... so yeah i guess they're all good n fair.

3. ricey isnt banned from OT because well......he sucks cock

4. Since when has Gambit been a dev? And what has he even done for the game? (aside from making maps that nobody plays...) WAIT! Is this ricey's older brother?

5. Scuzzy even going so far as to wipe an entire sub-forum to hide his inconsistencies and double standards. Can someone elaborate on this?

6. nigger

Lynus, Bridget brought it up, not me. I guess you're still upset that I let you slide, then gave you what you wanted(the infraction). Make up your mind.

Here's what you guys have the right to do
  1. bitch all you want about what you think is unfair.
  2. create your own server to show those bastards the way things SHOULD be done.
Here's what you have no right to expect
  1. Other people to agree with you
  2. Other people required to give your view a fair hearing
  3. Other people required to even listen to anything you post
  4. People to make changes based on your bitching

When you pay for the bandwidth and rack space (virtual or actual) you get to make the rules. Don't like it? Tough.

I would love see a video of bridget or some others going into a bar in Detroit. Say down by the Ambassador bridge and walking in and saying "howdie niggers".

Better yet a Dennys off the highway in South Bank by the river in New Orleans.

This debate is tiring.

Lynus has no interest in facts or logic and those of us who do are already set in our ways. We also tend to agree that while our opinions may differ, we can still get along for the most part.

We prove this all the time.

Lynus just seems late to a debate that has been on going. Frankly, in regards to OT. People who thing the server is unfair have trouble grasping basic logic. Any person has every right to not enjoy playing somewhere and bitch about it all they want. But to seriously expect OT to change its ways is ridiculous.

As for your other complaints, not everyone wants to play a pick-up game. Personally I enjoy logging on, playing for short bursts and then logging off. Once invested in a game it's somewhat detrimental to your team to do that unless there are many people joining to compensate for the loss.

You are arguing opinion as if it where fact and the world depended on it, no where have you acknowledged that other people may actually disagree for completely rational reasons and that you believe this way because you choose to.

You are whining, annoying, unproductive and a waste of time. You are trolling for some odd reason and I feel the need to point it out as it has created a large commotion.

"Don't say nigger."
"Fuck you, nigger nigger nigger."
"Don't say that."
"I'll say what I want, quit getting butthurt."

Jeez. I can't imagine why the OT server wouldn't want people like that around.

You would have a point, if I actually behaved like that.

I'd like to see him walk around Camden,NJ or Newark,NJ and even think the word Nigger.

He'd shit himself before he even got into town.


Ask Vinny about Newark, he'll tell you the same thing.

Shit, walk down OBT in Orlando,FL. You'll be fucking murdered and feed to the gators or ganged raped by black trannys.

The only reason why he uses it now is because he's behind a computer screen, and isn't surrounded by black people.
