I'll agree with that.
it's the internet. if you take offense to anything somebody says (over the internet) you have the option of just logging off and not coming back.
It's not like we use a derogatory term towards you and you should just automatically take it and cry about it.
Ganted the point of rules against these sorts of things is to allow every member to feel some degree or comfort so that the forums will prosper.
Although I'd imagine that for every member that decided to take racial slurs seriously and then left, I'm almost a certain a new noob would pop up and take his place and the forums would still grow.
