> Or [maybe](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21161489&postcount=113) it was failure of you and your mormon militia white nationalist prepper racist assfucks who weren’t man enough to go to the border with your cum crusted m4’s to protect this great nation of ours from the invasion of taco niggers? You fucking smarmy fucktwat. You are just barely smart enough to sidestep the board’s hate speech rules, but nobody, and I mean NObody is buying your God damn racist concern trollish bullshit.

> [This post](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21161487#post21161487) used the phrase “taco niggers”. That seems like about as clear-cut a violation of the rule against hate speech as I have ever read here. I reported it, asking for a response, and have not heard anything back. Mods, a penny for your thoughts?

…HurricaneDitka: both you and snfaulkner used the words taco n#$%$$ on these boards.

Should context be taken into account? If we ignore context, if we have zero tolerance, then why is your usage of the words materially different from snfaulkner’s? Should you get a warning?

(Having said that: there is inconsistency on how the word is moderated: I remember a poster used the word in the same context as snfaulkner a few years ago in Great Debates and got suspended: I suspect the forum and the moderator make a difference, but some clarity would be good.)
