139. Can both be condemned? Or do you want to defend the use of one while decrying the use of the other?

I'm genuinely curious how you would choose to defend the right to use a male sex organ in a pejorative way against a person while saying that the use of a female sex organ in a pejorative way is vastly different...

This could be a great learning experience for me and others. I am all ears.

BTW, I am anticipating a PERSONAL attack in your response, so let it be noted that I offered you none.

Not too broad or unspecified for you to become upset. It's clearly spot on. stevenleser Jun 2015 #15

Not upset at all. i think it's silly Scootaloo Jun 2015 #31

Yep, so silly you just had to post multiple replies including a somewhat lengthy one. stevenleser Jun 2015 #88

No, LittleBlue's reply was much better. polly7 Jun 2015 #16

hmm daredtowork Jun 2015 #24

Let me get this straight. EarlG banned SKP for use of the 'C' word because Skinner supports Hillary? stevenleser Jun 2015 #29

My confusion lies in the C word wasn't actually used. Some "interpretation" was involved. nt daredtowork Jun 2015 #39

For clarity Egnever Jun 2015 #130

Way too close... Agschmid Jun 2015 #28

Besides it looks like the general rule on meta was dropped in this case daredtowork Jun 2015 #48

You do understand the difference between a jury and hosts right? Agschmid Jun 2015 #53

Yes I realize banning isn't conducted by juries daredtowork Jun 2015 #70

His comment and the comment he was responding to have been posted multiple times. Agschmid Jun 2015 #77

I'm referring to the whole OP, and all the similar ones. nt daredtowork Jun 2015 #83

If I was on that jury, I would have voted to hide. ScreamingMeemie Jun 2015 #51

It should and could be either meta + personal. I stopped really alerting on stuff a while ago. ScreamingMeemie Jun 2015 #65

If no one alerts we don't do anything. Agschmid Jun 2015 #69

I know. I've been a host and a mod. I'm sure someone will alert on it. ScreamingMeemie Jun 2015 #75

And you'd be correct we just got one. Agschmid Jun 2015 #79

Good. Hosts should abstain to avoid conflict of interests. Isn't that right? Bonobo Jun 2015 #147
