It is unfair.
I didn't up it... my stance is, it's best not to use the word here at all.
I'm sure dj will change it to keep the peace, I doubt it'll be a big deal for him.

yeah it's fine, you can change it to this one....




I'm not going to repeat myself about why I wanted to use that other avatar but I have no problem in changing it to please others over such a taboo word that shouldn't be considered taboo.....white people don't get offended when they are called cracker or whitey

I mean you can keep it for all I care. I was just being an arse for the sake of it and making a point that really didn't make a difference if I made. But seriously come to tidewater region of NC and hang out with some black people and you'll be saying it every other word and that's why I think there shouldn't be any issue over the word. Because if it's so bad that it shouldn't be said then it should start with the people who want that. Sorry for making an issue out of it. It's not big deal.

I upped the avatar as I read a couple of posts where Dj stated that the word did'nt upset him, so I did'nt see any problem. I know nothing of the ban that Swim had. In hindsight I should have asked amongst the mods but also recieved some advice from the mods about it. I have seen the word (or similar) used in an unaggressive manner so I have let this go. Dj chameleon has been magnaminous about it and has changed his avatar. I will not be upping any more avatars of this nature and will make this an official forum rule.

I've always thought of the mods as a sort of secret police.

like 1984? That would be awesome, if it totally wouldn't suck.

Can mods see which threads we are viewing, out of curiosity?
