If I see it, it gets changed or deleted dude. End of story.

If it makes you all feel better feel free to poll the mods and see if Im alone in my thinking.

Why so threatening?

Looking through your angry glasses, you seem to be missing the point.

I'm not agreeing with Smittie's tact or lack thereof but the word "redneck" can also be viewed as offensive and ugly. Will that be part of the censorship too?

I get offended when people claim to be rednecks (we'll just call it the "R" word) but aren't. Because of my job outdoors I have a "R word" so I can say it, but others can't. We should ban those who claim to be the "R word" or use the "R word" but aren't European-Americans with a neck of a reddish color.

By the way isn't power just oh so delicous?

By all means Smittie. Go back if you dont like it here. I will help if need be.

Redneck does not hold the connotation of the N word. You can argue it till your face turns blue but it is not even remotely the same and will never be treated as such. It doesnt promote racism or cause the ugly feelings the other does.

If the term redneck offends you, Im sorry. If being too PC offends you. Too bad. We allow alot of shit here but thats over the line and proves nothing other than someone trying to be deliberately ugly and offensive. You can prove a point without using derogatory racist comments.

End of story.

Yes it is. So much so that this discussion is closed. So go get all over tan, get rid of the farmers line and stop bitching because you have are an "R" word. They make sunscreen. You dont want to be an "R" word, use it.
