nazi as used by Lothandar, as you can see quite offensively.

homosexual as used by Xest, for the obvious reader meant as a joke.

I used the word be-yatches in my sig and was asked to change it. It was a joke.

"Rate my off topice thread negative ya be-yatches."

Xest's comment should have been warned or changed. Simple as that. FFS Xest warned me for telling gandalf to shut up. Jeez!

But that's just it, Tare, I don't think Loth's use of it was particularly offensive. It's crystal clear from context that his use of "mod-nazi" was intended to convey a sense of over-zealous rule enforcement. Surely noone can claim he meant something to do with the Holocaust?

I agree that Loth's use is marginally more offensive, but I would probably feel differently if I was a homsexual and my sexual orientation was being bandied about as an insult.

I reckon the reason he got treated so bad was because he was criticising the moderation, not because his term was particularly offensive. It was mildly offensive, but not more than that.

the fact is, I didn't warn Loth because I didn't know if perhaps he does know her well and it was said in jest hence I left the decision upto other moderators - in this case Satyn. The same goes with my comments towards Jouzu, all the mods know me and him are good friends and hence know it wasn't said in offence.

Bollocks! How do all the people on the forums know you are good friends with the other person. If you are allowed to say that to someone, everyone should be allowed to use the word "Homosexual" in a joking / none joking way. Therefore insulting Homosexuals.

for the last time: the word Nazi is a word that should not be used to flame or insult someone.
