You got a warning for calling another poster a faggot.
I regret making that post and have learned to back away from posters that get me too riled up. So the warning was helpful.
Miller, we’ve never had the pleasure of meeting, but if I may: what’s it feel like to have to…read/live…in the Pit all day? Seems like you’d need to come up for air every so often.
A better lesson would be to learn that the term “faggot” is hate speech and you should remove it from your lexicon.
Withdrawn. Wasn’t funny.
Dan Savage use to have writers to his sex-advice column address them as “Hey, Faggot” in an attempt to “reclaim the word.” So there’s at least some contexts where it isn’t hate speech.
Can we call posters cunning runts?
Sure, but only in the Pit.
Could that then be abbreviated c. unts?
No.
Molly Bloom said she saw a word written on a wall once she couldn’t ever say. She couldn’t. but she just did.
Similarly, Hamlet asks Ophelia when she protests about lying in his lap if he meant country matters.
Would she or he get a warning?
(Not a serious question, just a follow-up to the pigeon guy.)
I expect any attempt to dance round the rules would fail. If I said something like ‘you’re a total count’, or a cant or a gunt or even ‘you’re a banned word’ I’m sure a mod response would be swift. The intent would be clear even though technically the rules would not have been breached (although come to think of it being a jerk would cover this one.)
Outside of the Pit, it’s simple: If it’s an insult, it’s against the rules. I’m not sure what it would mean to call someone a count or a gunt, but the context there makes it clear that it’s an insult, so I would moderate it.
In the Pit, you’d have to ask Marley. I don’t hang out much there, and I certainly (thank FSM!) don’t moderate there.
Miller.
Marley would just ban everyone again.
Marley Miller?
Wasn’t that a TV show?
Only in the pilot episode before he went all T-rex? 
“FSM”?
Flying Spaghetti Monster. Duh.
Clearly you haven’t been touched by his noodly appendage.
