Use of "offensive" language on the forum

[Chivalrous]

The initial reply was a tat bit different than 'simply asking me to refrain from using it', nor were most follow up posts.


Implying that I have no heart and that I'm not empathic ... somehow I think that a little bit more common sense would not hurt this debate.

Nope, I implied you are not using your heart and not having empathy, I never said you weren't capable of it. I said this because at the end of an elegant post you insult many posters before you. Common sense is defined as
Good sense and sound judgment in practical matters. I contend that in this case common sense and common decency are the same thing, and that it is far better for everyone if we could stop using the word rape, and nigger, and probably several others. There is no harm in not using it, while there is obviously harm in using it... Sound judgement to me sounds like using a different word in its place would eliminate all problems this thread curtails and help curve Internet bullying.

Like with Owltoid, I will not reply further to you in this thread. My final thoughts are common sense = good sense and sound judgement = just stop using the word in a silly casual manner.
