Leckett, I was not saying that being 'gay' or 'retarded' is a bad thing, in face I said quite the oppisite. I was pointing out how the words are not insulting in their actual definition, but it is because of these definitoins that some people have started to use them as insults. You completely missed what I was saying.

As for Rachael, you probably aren't a horrible person, but the fact that you can insult someone with the word retard while you are so passionate about helping people who fall under the word as it is actually defined does piss me off. As for the rest of the response, read what I wrote. think about it, then read it again, maybe you'll get my point.

definitly never did say that in any way. What I said was the words retard refers to people with certain mental and physical disabilities, and when used as an insult, is it done so because these people are thought of by some as 'not as good' as normal people... in no way does that imply that the word retard is only derogetory... Although I do think the work when used alone to describe people who might fit into that category is a bit offensive.

Actually, it's commonly accepted that retard/retarded is no longer PC. The preferred term is actually "mentality disabled."

so your telling me that it went from mentaly disabled to retarded and back to mentaly disabled again in a period of 6 years? not true my friend retard is still the proper term. but as i said you probably wouldnt call a retard a retard as the same way you dont call a gay person gay.

well, when someone says shit that pisses me off, I'm not going to sit back and let it happen, I'm sorry, but I have to step in and say shit when people are wrong and say shit that upsets me.

insulting people, yes, but I was just in the mood to do that. Can you point out where I made anything up, because I'm pretty sure everything I said was completely true..

here is an unnecesary insult:

"You're a horrible person, not to mention ignorant."

and here is something you made up:

"...the fact that you brought up volenteering for the special olympics suggests that you do it to make it appear as if you're a compassionate person."

i do not recall her ever saying or implying that she did this to seem as a compassionate person. you made this up and further with it, added on many unnessecary insults...like i said: your job is to moderate the site, not start shit and make things up. i am aware that you spoke your opinion but there was never need for any insult

haha, my job, crawl into a hole and die you worthless piece of shit... how's that for an unnesecary insult? I don't have any sort of responsibilty on this site beyond enjoying myself. I've been asked by the admins to try and keep the site clean, however, if I feel like going off on someone, I have just as much a right to do it as you do. I am in no way a moderator because it's a 'job', it's just that I have been trusted enough by the people in charge of the site to help them maintain a good site. If you'd like to further discuss this point, we can do that.

I didn't say she WAS doing it to appear comppasionate, I said it SUGGESTS that it does, which in fact, it does to me. If your opinoin differs, then good for you, but I'm not making anything by saying what she said suggested something. So, yet again, go ahead and go waste your life away in a small hole somewhere, the world would probably be better off without you around.

why dont you try reading that again?
you threw an insult in her face, thats hardly sugggesting anything.
maybe you consider it as suggesting, but it sure isnt clear at all to us.
oir maybe it was just your attempt to look like a decent person?

I guess you did resolve the moderator job part, but then by what you said wouldnt really make you much of a mod. as a matter of fact your more like a little bitch boy for the real guys in red.... how's that for an unnesecary insult?

you cant really throw insults like "go ahead and go waste your life away in a small hole somewhere, the world would probably be better off without you around." when you dont have much to show for yourself either.

I'm dropping the rest of it (sure i insulted her, I am not denying that, but it was in an attempt to educate people and give them some lessons to better live by), but this needed to be adressed, as you're wrong about that.


I started as a mod because I loved the sit and enjoyed helping out (back when Harvey ran it). I've stayed on and done what I can to help out with improving the site, and there have been changes made because of suggestions I and the other mods have made. We don't get 'paid', but there is compensation for what we do now. I'm not going to give out details as I'm not so sure that it's something that you need to know, but there are deals on gear, housing, tickets, and lots of hookups within the industrry for what we do. I would hardly call that being anyone's bitch.

Uh, no actually. Retard has not been a "proper" term since the early 90's. Trust me. I've lived with this stuff my entire life.
