(14,040 posts)When watching a movie or tv show that has objectionable language, it's my choice whether or not I watch that movie or continue to watch it if I'm offended. This choice is based on my own standards of what I find acceptable in entertainment.
When we sign up at DU, we do so with the understanding that there are certain rules we must follow and if we don't follow those rules, there are consequences. It's right there in the TOS of the site.
The admin have clearly stated they have the final say on what is a bannable offense. They decided that NYC_Skp had crossed some line that they wanted to ban him.
It amazes me that some people demean others for not wanting to see insulting language on DU. That it's okay to use language that the majority of the female population finds offensive--even if done in a so-called clever way that obviously wasn't so clever since a male admin found it so offensive that he decided to ban NYC_Skp.
