Thats how I feel as well, its simple.

Yes, but the question is, do you think it is wrong because you do not like the word or do you think it is wrong because it has broken a rule? There is a line which seperates the two.

If something is removed because you do not like it, then it is over censorship. If the word actually breaks the rules then every use of the word on vb.org should be removed and repeat offenders banned.... In that case, I can link several threads with profanity.

To be honest, no one is being forced to install this or use this word to utilize the code on thier board. There is always a choice to either not install or alter.

Today its nazi, tomorrow it is what, booger?

Boogers didn't kill millions of Jews corrie and provoke the start of WWII where millions of servicemen lost their lives. I'm not here to debate whether it's a racially derogatory term, but just to point out the childishness on the authors part to use it in such a trivial way.

I am not going to argue with that. You are right. Poor choice of words? Sure. Against the rules? Nah.

I'm sure it's covered under here somewhere:
Enough people have outlined their disapproval for it to be removed.

I fail to see where this word falls under the above criteria. Concentration camp ect? Yes, but not a word that abbreviates a political party.I am sure that if enough people disapproved, they would not have taken the amount of time to address it.

Like I said above, if need be remove it from all prior posts going allllllll the way back and ban repeat offenders then.

Just a little side note, not every nazi was evil, some where just kids that were forced to fight a war. There were a lot of kids on both sides of that war that lost their lives. If we lost that war would the world consider American GI offensive now?

The allies were fighting for a totally different purpose - for peace. Unlike the Germans who were fighting to expand their empire. Big difference again. I shall end the political debate there. Let's let the staff do their job ;)

If you want to get technical, your above use of the word idiot is a direct violation of the general rules here with no debate.

Are you holding yourself to the same standards you place on others, Dean?

I look forward to my warning ;)

I agree, but it is funny how quickly the world's perspective changes when someone else wins.


We have a little phrase over the pond here, " If it wasnt for the men that gave their lives for our freedom, we would all be speaking German right now".
