libtard noun /libˈtärd/
1. an individual, whose thinking process has been rendered impaired by political correctness and the failure to understand that people are responsible for their actions and the world does not owe lazy or stupid people a living.

Personally, I am finding most of this dialogue tedious, but I would have to judge "libtard" as more of a slur than actual hate phrase.


Hate speech is just the name of the rule. Here is the full text:

Quote: rule 18
While we try to promote free speech as much as we can, racial slurs, vulgar terminology or advocating violence against any person or group of people are not welcome. (Added 1/10/2019)


I consider "libtard" to be vulgar terminology. For what it is worth, I also issued a warning for MAGA-hole over at WoV.

What about referring to a woman as a "bitch" (i.e. as many often call Hillary, or as I call Ann Coulter)? Does that cross the new line?

Warning -- hate speech violation. Please see the new rule 18.



Thanks
I just took a look at EB's post
Looks like he was responding to me
My post amounted to saying I lean left but I still like Eastwood movies. Not a very controversial post
yet
EB seemed to have a meltdown over my post
weird

I would say calling a specific non-member that word would be okay. However, to call all women or a large group of them that term would not be.

I respect your right to decide, I just would find it difficult. Vulgarity has become so ingrained in the culture today.

Whoops. Might wanna burn the rant thread, then =/

Back to lurking I go.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

Just write a rule vulgarity has to be in spoilers. Insults, and everything else. No one gets hurt.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

It's news to me libtard is a vulgarity,
I see it everywhere. It's even in the
dictionary as a real word.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Just block the person
I had no idea EB was trying to insult me till I saw the Wiz's post about it
I haven't responded to EB in a year
I have no interest in what he posts
There is no back and forth between us
Yet
out of the blue
He feels he needs to take me into the woodshed
Bizarre
Are there 2 EB's lol
