In the BBQ Pit thread about the police officer, we have the following exchange:
You are completely and utterly wrong here. We’ve even gone over this exact issue before in ATMB. The rule states, very specifically:
The following expressions should not be directed **at other posters.
**
cunt and variants, e.g., cuntlapper
motherfucker
cocksucker
fuck you and variants, e.g., go fuck yourself, fuck off and die
suck/lick my dick/cock and variants
Bolding mine. There is NO RULE against using that word to refer to someone who is not a member of the Boards.
Not only that, but back in April twickster ordered someone not to use the word “cunt” against a non-Doper third party in a Cafe Society thread, and in the end it was agreed by members and mods alike that this had been a bad decision. You yourself said, in the ATMB thread on the issue:
The specific issue of Twickster’s first statement to devlisknew was discussed among the staff and the consensus was pretty clear that she had gone beyond what she needed to do.
Why now do you insist on enforcing a non-rule that you knew very well was a non-rule?
