Just to add one more thing. Sam's comment is definitely offensive from a 1rst degree analysis. Now if you imply that he was sarcastic, that everyone had to read this with a second degree twist in it, id like to make the following comments: 1) you can say that it is the same for each sentence that is posted on the chat. Who can decide who is serious and who he is not? As example, This guy wrote Nig... But he is french and he doesnt know the true connotation it has in the US, and so on and so forth... 2) this is the internet and we do not know who we are talking to. Lets assume that Sam knows that jona is not a person with down syndrom. But what about his sister? What about any other playrer at the table that would have a close relative with this disease. Would they find this comment offensive? I would say yes and i will give you the following example to explain why: i did call someone "retard" one day and this person got really offended as her sister was a person with down syndrom. He asked to never call him by this name ever again. so my point is that words are words and they mean something. I do not get offended, you do not get offended but other people might if they are offensive. For all th reasons given above, i believe sam's comment fall in this category. And this is where mods have to draw the line if there is a line to be drawn. I hope you see my point here. |

at 7:06 PM, Tuesday October 18, 2011 EDT im still waiting for someone to step forward and say they are/were offended. the original person who was 'offended' just blew his cover. so who exactly is offended here?
im not saying whether or not it's acceptable, or what is and what is not acceptable. i usually apologize once i understand how my words/actions were hurtful to someone in specific. so in this case, whom should sam apologize to? |

at 7:35 PM, Tuesday October 18, 2011 EDT hervey, fabolous is NOT, that is why i posted that screencap where fabolous himself called someone retarded after they hit him in a game. his response to my screencap? oh sam says it, so its okay.
in other words, he doesnt give a shit about ppl with downs. he was just pretending to be upset to throw sam under a bus, which some people are quick to drive. |
