Are you ever "justified" in using a racial slur?

If called a racial slur, does that make it right to retaliate with one as well?

There are now more than 500 postings to this thread. Other that the three or four people involved, no one can--or wants to-- become familiar with all of the incidents, their alleged reasons and justifications. This much seems clear:

1.Recidiva called or suggested that Loving Tongue is a "nigger" in some literal or metaphoric sense*. Recidiva refuses to apologize. That is a measure of her stature.

2. Loving Tongue, being offended, has pressed her and others for apologies and rationales as to why they think such suggestions and implications--slurs-- are fair and proper. Neither Recidiva nor Ulaven nor any of the supporters are going to offer any apologies, and LT's pressing them in dozens of postings is a measure of his obsession with this matter.

3. Various parties, including Recidiva and Loving Tongue, allege numerous provocations from the other side. All of these have the effect of claiming, "I'm nasty to her/him because s/he did something nasty to me first." Recidiva, in particular, apparently claims that LT's conduct in some way offended/provoked her, and hence she was justified, by way of retaliation, in suggesting or implying the label 'nigger.'

4. No one other than the parties, at this point, can possibly untangle this web of 's/he did it first' claims, nor has any interest in the matter of whose provocation was first, and whether, indeed LT's alleged provocations merit his being assigned that label--perhaps as a metaphor-- by Recidiva.

5. All parties apparently want to continue indefinitely in their obsessions, apparently hoping to prevail, and apparently thinking that others have some interest in their ongoing conflict (else why do it publically). I do not see any sign of such interest.

6. LT, in his search for a remedy or to embarrass his opponents is not going to succeed. He suffered an injustice which may or may not have been provoked, but which the alleged offenders refuse, over months, to remedy. That is the nature of the GB.

Those who prevail are never better or right, they're just willing to stay at the keyboard for months and keep posting whatever nasties they wish, forever. Wiser folks desist from such eternal battles, figuring that the public, if indeed it had an interest at one time, has long since made up its mind as to rights and wrongs, or simply is entirely fed up with the unending process.

Recidiva: You were on ignore for about a year. I just recently took you off.

I have a black brother in law. He says "I hate fucking niggers." To him, nigger is a state of mind. I've gotta say, you match his idea of nigger.
Even handed as usual. Well said.

That's not very racial, though, is it?

What about, "Why wouldn't I be... you motherfucking cocksucking taxonomic anomaly!"

He got it right the first time. You're a cocksucker.

I think we can save this thread if we can convince LT to spam it with porn.
That's a good strategy.

In fact, it wouldn't be too difficult to convince him to spam the whole board.

He's basically just a big fluffy ball of anger in a clown costume.

It's mostly when he goes on ignore.

The pages stretch out too far for me to scroll with his "delameifying"

Granted when he does it to me I don't mind.

Doing it to Doll_Parts of course infurates me, but there's my willingness to defend the defenseless again. Always getting in my way and making me angry at people who apparently just don't deserve it.

LT is hurting and needs a hug.

Hugs and silence fix everything.
 
Personally, I vastly prefer the "de-lamifying" to throwing around racial slurs. Sometimes a picture really seems the best response to arrant silliness.

Don't make me get out "You Made Bunny Cry." I'll do it.

I have tons of silliness in response.

Don't make me make Bunny laugh.

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

I was going to say that, but I thought it would be inflammatory.

I am, in fact, a cocksucker.

Fairly proud of it, though not professional grade.

I do, too. In fact, I love it when he does that. He posts the big boobs and porny women of color that I like I like to look at, so I wholeheartedly support the dissemination of porn to settle arguments. And I get to fill up my hard drive with more free downloaded porn I can "use."

Some (or most) of the pics may be fashionably tacky, but...

As long as you don't bite down at that critical moment of release, you're ALWAYS a "pro" in our book.

"Our" meaning men in general.

None of them are ever hot males :(

Or hot horses! :(

I'm being discriminated against. I HAVE boobs. I don't need to see more, dammit!

I don't bite. At that level of intimacy where I have the opportunity to bite, I find better things to do.

And if you're not worth me finding better things to do with, you're not worth biting either.

Reminds me of my favorite feedback on a story ever. It was:

"You suck, bitch."

Why...yes, yes I do.

:cathappy:

Look, not everybody gets my humor, but I don't have to stop being funny just because it's annoying. That's just...mean.

I missed you.

But it's much better to miss you than to think "Whew! She didn't call! Dodged a bullet there, eh?"

So missing you is good :)

I'm sorry work sucked.

Thank the Gods you missed me, otherwise there's no way I could allow you in my small select group of *completely straight women that get me* total members=1.
(That would be you) ;)

I like groups of one. They're cozy. I'm in them a lot.

I love it :heart:

Groups of three are oft even better than one, though.

Particularly when naked and with two of the opposite sex.

And with bottled booze in a bucket of ice off to the side.

Mmm. Ice.

Can we have popsicles too?

No reason...
