Every black guy is offended by ******, every Asian is offended by paki and every Chinaman is offended by chinky? Darkies, pakis and chinkys have been used longer than Hun, and over time they became offensive, now Hun has became offensive too because of guys like Rebs and Dev using the term hun to "cause offence". You reap what you sow.
I thought we accepted that the word hun was being used by Celtic fans in a derogatory manner though? If so, can a derogatory term only be deemed offensive if it is against an entire race of people? Look, it's pointless to argue about what is offensive and what isn't. If ONE person is offended by something it therefore, by definition, becomes offensive.
No we didn't. We have never agreed on that. You're not reading what I'm saying. I said that, to me, Hun means someone who supports Rangers, ergo, if the word Hun was offensive that would mean Rangers fans are offensive.
Again, I've only ever seen Dev explaining the word Hun as meaning a Rangers fan. Anyway, to **** with this. Let's just agree to disagree. As I said before, no one on here had any problem with the word until that ****ing fruitloop Medro turned up and started moping about going to the police and making up bullshit about the meaning.
You said that, of all the descriptions I found of the word "hun", the one you chose to describe Rangers fans was "barbarians". You also said previously that, and I quote, "Huns, like Rangers fans, were notorious for causing trouble everywhere they went hence the comparison." What is that if it isn't derogatory? You're tying yourself in knots here ST!
I am offended by that remark! Today I am mostly being offended by the word prick, the number 168 and the chocolates known as Maltesers. Wibble!
Did I? No, I seem to recall I specifically said that if Medro finds it offensive then that's his concern, i'm not going to start moderating my own posts just because someone finds particular words offensive. It is not meant to be offensive but if Medro or others think I mean it that way then it's they who have the problem.
I was under the impression you were referring to taking the insult to heart and being offended by it, not that you were actually lying about your perceived definition of the word.
Well if you don't want to start moderating your own posts, why are you trying to tell me to moderate things that you find offensive? And you have the cheek to make a huge thread about "staggering hypocrisy" It doesn't work that if you find something offensive then it has to be stopped, but if you are labelling people in a way that is deemed offensive to them then it is fine, because you are not offended. I've just realised that the whole world revolves around dev and his child like fantasies. Let's all bow down to dev and take his word as gospel.
Some taigs on here are ok but some like ST and Webel prove themselves to be ignorant to the world and media around them who STATE that HUN is offensive but because Meil Lemmon hasn't said so it's ok to use it
Are you still yammering on braniac? Who asked you to moderate anything you ****ing dingbat? Did I? Who complained about the posts you removed? Oh that's right, YOU DID. Did I complain to you about any of the bigoted ****e on that thread? NO. Did I ask you to moderate ANYTHING? That would be another NO. Yet you still removed my posts you spineless wee toady, in a blatant attempt to suck up the arses of the posters who were posting their racist/bigoted/sectarian ****e. Get a ****ing grip man, we've been over this before and you were wrong. Move on.
Sanity...No, I am perfectly sane. Coherent argument...no. My argument is clear, has legal and technical basis and is evidently too sophisticated for any of you thick huns Personal hygene....No. Although how you could garner that through an internet discussion forum is a mystery to me.
One is clearly racist and sectarian, the other.....just isn't. If you wish to contest that, do so. In Tarquin land are all terms of offence indistinguishable from one another?
8 pages of complete insanity. I haven't stopped laughing for about 15 minutes. There is no possible way to make this thread any more rambling and hate-filled than it already is. Who made ST a mod anyway?
I love it Webel gets riled like the best of them with his argument about certain words do you thing it ever occurs to him he writes the same stuff every day(Groundhog Day)? As for ST my point exactly like putting Joey Barton in charge of a stag do at some point it's gonna go wrong
