I'm still waiting for you to show me where I've done that.

It's like i'm speaking to a broken record. I've posted times where i've seen you being disrespectful, and I can't be the only person who has seen it. You may think it's a joke, but a lot of people can't see that you're joking. Especially when you use a word like "retard", do you have any idea how offensive that word can be? It's not a word that should just be used lightly, it does hurt. Internet or not, I don't think it's an acceptable form of speech.

I always thought that the rule about personal insults should take context into account, and shouldn't be acted upon unless the receiving party has reported it as over the line.

I think a lot of people here can handle being called an idiot, and frankly, could use it from time to time. I'm not advocating behaving like internet savages, but I think we can take care of ourselves, and more, I think that the most hurtful comments often contain no namecalling at all. Hence context.

Didn't he (H.I.M) once threaten to kill you with a bed?

Well I just went back searching through posts and I've only used the word retard once in the last 4 years, and it wasn't directed at anyone either.
In fact you'll find it here...

I could go back further than the beginning of 2009 to see if I've used it more but I don't really see the point.

anything else?

yes :laughing:

I guess not. Directed or not, it may just be a personal issue, but it's a sore spot, especially when the word is used loosely.

Now you're just looking for things to complain about that would probably apply to 90% of the members here if you wanted it to.

I'm done here now.

Ki. whatever it is you've got jammed up your arse...do us all a favour and take it out mate.
I know this is the spill your guts thread, but c'mon!

Making an assumption and ending the argument in your favor. Typical.

I guess i'm done here too.

Last word, right here. I win.
