So, Huey, why do you hang around if it’s so bad? I think I could find a board that’s more to my taste, if I were you. ---

Mods are generally considered just regular posters, unless they specifically state that they’re acting otherwise. And how can be “unprofessional”, they’re not getting paid? It’s all volunteer. Which, you’d know, if you bothered to listen to people who have tried to inform you how this place works. _shrugs_ Oh well, your choice. > [@scabpicker](#): > > Well, if we go by the racists’ one drop rule, most black people are overwhelmingly white. > > Seriously, any racist is arguing about whether tabby and tuxedo cats should be allowed to fuck. Regard them with that seriousness until they raise a hand. So where does that leave calico cats? ---

Huey why do you hate those inbred Somalians so much, what did they ever do to you? ---

I don’t think I’ve seen “thot” generally used by anyone who isn’t into MRA stuff. What that might mean about our friend Huey is up to interpretation. The Root is to Stormfront as War and Peace is to Twilight. ---

Loud and clear. I agree, but I’m not sure this should only be a question to women. It’s my ox being gored, so to speak, so I’m more likely to find a insult that uses my gender as an insult (or a comparison to my sex organs,) worse than one that calls someone male genitalia. ---
