@divegeester saidFirst time I’ve read them, It all made sense other than the fact that I’ve been using ‘idiot’ pretty liberally since 2011 without any Sanction so I assumed it was an add on.
That particular guideline has always been there, it’s not new.

@divegeester saidI wish that were true.
The word “racist” is overused, wrongly used, used as an insult and has become as meaningless as “troll”.
@kazetnagorra saidShall we again explore Wikipedia to see if you are correct in calling me a racist because I’m in favour of immigration control?
I wish that were true.
Edit; I acknowledge that there has been a lot of real racist comments recently, I’m not try to ignore that or deflect from it.

@no1marauder saidLOL.
Just remember something, folks, if Duchy describes a position I supposedly have, she is almost always lying.
So ignore her and maybe she'll go away.
You're not special!

@divegeester saidI didn't do that.

@kazetnagorra saidOh ok, I must be remembering another poster who did.
I didn't do that.
I apologise.

@divegeester saidI mean: I don't remember if I labeled you a racist or not, but if I did, it wasn't because of your support for "immigration control" but it would rather be because of your defence of neo-Nazis like Marine Le Pen and your inability to tie "immigration control" beyond ethnicity-centered reasons.
Oh ok, I must be remembering another poster who did.
I apologise.
If it makes you feel any better, you are certainly not among the worst racists that were plaguing the forums before the Great Purge.
@sleepyguy saidWhat if someone is being an obvious "racist"? That is where it becomes an issue of not being able to use that word which describes what they are being. How else would one describe it?
It would improve the tone of discourse on the forum even more to ban the use of the pejorative "racist".
Let's all agree, shall we?

@divegeester saidIt's John Locke, espouser of Natural Rights and supporter of the idea that the People can resist government tyranny by force if need be.
That is a fine gesture, well done.
Edit, although I’m a little apprehensive about asking who your current one is and why? And I do still find your support of what most people see as terrorism to be a blot on your credibility.
But nevertheless it’s a pleasing move.
@no1marauder saidHe also said, 'There cannot be greater rudeness than to interrupt another in the current of his discourse.'
It's John Locke, espouser of Natural Rights and supporter of the idea that the People can resist government tyranny by force if need be.
Apologies for the interruption...

@no1marauder saidThanks for unLocking what might otherwise have become a log jam.
People offended by John Locke can [expletive deleted] off.
