dawneykids Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 When I talk to Momof3 or NC and call them a name they know I'm playing with them and I'm pretty sure the mods know this as well. I don't do name calling in a hateful way, that is beneth me. Hold up, I'm fond of dumbass, but then again, I use that in a fun way as well, so no that wouldn't be in a hateful way neither. If I was to be hateful, it would be a string of cuss words. That's more me. That is a sign that I'm am angry. And that is the difference here. When you call me a biotch or whatever, I know the context in which it's meant and I laugh at it. But when you have someone who is vehemently trying to make a point and either begins or ends their nasty post with , 'you ignorant fool' or 'you stupid idiot', that's unacceptable, especially when the rules state so clearly that you're not supposed to do it.

xxrsellars Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 So....whenever someone calls me a name and likewise whenever I call someone a name I should report it?

gpatt0n Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Here are some things remember you dogs? ... except for you yellow jackets but what if I called you a hog? Woooooo Pig Suieeeeeeeeeeee. Razorbacks We know people who know each other can use weird, wild or strange kinds of names. Statements like Hello liberal; did you know that all liberals are ??? (or conservatives) ... might be an insult but we generally do require specificity in the insult. The general and vague is not actionable. You are an ass and the lowest human being on the face of the earth and I hope worms are crawling up your gullet as we speak ... is about where we get interested. Most of the real zingers though refer to a specific vulnerability of a person. Pet names and fun names abound and if we're not in on the joke, we could nail someone innocently. that's why we need reports; presumably reports from people who are knowledgeable of the dynamic of the situation. pubby Link to post Share on other sites

lescook Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Pubby called me a dolt in the MLK thread. Of course he was calling a lot of people dolts, but I was one of em. I had never been called a dolt before, been called a lot of things, but never a dolt, so I looked it up. DOLT Noun A stupid person. Synonyms fool - blockhead - dunce - simpleton - booby - loggerhead Not the worst I have been called. I am putting this word in my arsenal, I like it.

shortsammie17 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Maybe I'm wrong, but according to the rules of Pcom, you aren't supposed to call people names. 1. Discussions and comments should be civil and specific to the issue at hand (as opposed to directed towards an individual member). Please refrain from vulgarity, libel, name-calling, and gratuitous gossip. Members need to avoid name-calling that calls into question someone's character. However, I continually see people being called, stupid, damned fool, trucking idiot, ignorant, ignorant moron, and so forth. I've been called one of these names, I retaliated by calling the name caller a stupid jacka$$ and got a bullet for it, which is fine because I should have overlooked it and gone about my business. I'm just confused as to why it's OK for some and not others. These aren't phrases such as, 'you're acting like a damned fool', but, 'you're are a damned fool'. Or, 'you're an ignorant moron', etc. How do these derogatory names not call someones character into question? Obviously, I don't understand this rule. In my world, name calling is name calling. You're better than me lol....I'm going IN! Link to post Share on other sites

I would have used an entirely different word to insult you STradial and it wouldn't be one that has as it root 'dullness.' According to the online dictionary: dolt1543, perhaps a variant of dold "dull, foolish," influenced by dulte, dolte, pp. forms of M.E. dullen "to dull, make or become dazed or stupid" (see dull). Since I'm not calling names here, however, I will demure and will rather take the exigent circumstance as my opportunity. pubby Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie Bennett Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Not only is it good to be called a name, but you want people to be buzzing about what you have said even while they are at lunch, or after they go to their recliner for some rest. Link to post Share on other sites

And they don't care. I used to do that, low, but I finally realized that they can't hear what say about them. Some heard me, but they just threw me a bird. I like to be called names by people who are upset with me for what I say. And the more I know I studied to find the scientific facts the better I like being called a name for saying what it is that I discovered. Like the latest news about Europeans, even here in this country, are as much as 3% Neanderthal in their DNA.. Link to post Share on other sites
