Hate speech on Ratz. Should we tolerate it?

[Eriku]

Btw, here's a good slur to use against Norwegians: sea-jew

Please tell me that's true 'cause that is too funny not to use.

It is according to the slur database: http://www.rsdb.org/

Never heard or seen it used, mind... but it is indeed too good

[Don't Panic]

Does this mean I'm not meant to say rude stereotypical things about : Merkins Welsh Lancastrians Scots Irish Aberdonians Jews Arabs Blondes the French and all those dog torturing shark and whale murders in the "east" ?

That's going to ruin my post rate

Don't other forum rules cover this ? or do we need a rule for constantly posting hate about one subject ..

We need a "Fix the fucking record" rule.

[Rum]

Perhaps current rules do cover this. Here is an extract from them:

"use of offensive language, images or jokes, with the intention of harassing, intimidating, tormenting or persecuting another member, or in the knowledge that such posts are likely to cause widespread general offense, will not be tolerated".

Hate speech surely causes widespread offence.

What do you think?

[Pensioner]

Funny hats should be against the rules.

[Jay G]

Funny hats should be against the rules.

Hey, I'm bald. I need a hat

Hate speech causes widespread offence, yes. Our particular brand of HS at the moment is more likely to induce laughter than outrage though, it is a parody of what someone who had genuine grievances against Israel would be posting.

I hate speech...

Writing's where it's at!

You do realise that Rule 42 is a running joke?

No, I just assumed you and your female minion had forgotten to punish me

You may be punished at some stage, not for any particular reason, we just do that sometimes when we're bored.

No, but it's a better class of boredom with screams in the background.
