Yeah, that's a gross word (in America, which is an awesome country), but even Chaucer used it, though that attractive lady spelled it all weird and shit.



It doesn't seem to be gendered in England where men are often called that.

What will we do without gendered insults?


It does seem like a weird thing to get mad about.

Maybe. It's pretty arbitrary though considering the other words that are uncensored, and once again, it's not only used as a gendered insult. If it's basically just one guy doing it then it seems like dealing with that one guy would be the more appropriate solution.


The Hawk is pulling "harlot" and "skank" out of his arsenal now, because he is so determined to insult women. That's not funny and/or disturbing to you ? Kirkwood had to re-spell the word like three time SPECIFICALLY to reference gender.

The whole politics section is pretty disturbing these days. I don't read much of The Hawk anymore. But I would say if he's causing a problem along those lines it would be easy for the mods to deal with on an individual level.

Obviously this isn't a big deal. It just slightly annoyed me last night in the BB thread.

I'm a hypocrite though because I find the attractive lady thing funny when it fucks up 312player. But I've always considered that word far more egregious.

If it were up to me no words (including the "N" word) would ever be censored.

Philosophically, I agree with you. But the object of the board isn't to attempt to drive away as many people as possible.

Right.

Calling someone a proper ©unt is a great British insult.

Then you should probably censor MANY posters.

I totally agree with that. Its bigger than simply what i think.

Does the insensitive language actually drive people away?

I like its usage as an adjective which isn't done in American English.

Early on I uncensored everything except bigfan's website. Someone rightly made a change.

Well, not to sound like Julie DiCaro, but I can completely see how this place could be seen as unwelcoming to women. And not just because of specific words either. I mean, Spaulding is the only woman we have left, but she's a tough fuckin' broad.

This was a sports media/radio board, & a sports board long before it was a pop culture & political board.. Not exactly things that rank high on most women's interest list. We have never had many women posting here. It's not that they aren't welcome, it's just that most of them don't give a shit about Dan Bernstein or Joe Maddon.

Also, Spaulding is one of the few people here who can dish it out just as well as she can take it.

MANY men here could stand to improve quite a bit in that department.

It's true that women- in general- don't communicate the same way men do. I'm a little slow sometimes so it took me a long time to learn that. Something that a guy would understand as affection just makes most women angry. I probably wouldn't waste my time insulting someone I didn't like.

A few years ago I would have laughed at the PM/HH exchange.

Now it’s just creepy.

You're a good one, but when we cancel white males we have to cancel all white males.
