Well put. But there is a context in which the word can be used. Some don't even accept that, which to me is babyish. But they have rights to put anyone out.

In my previous post, which I basically deleted by editing and replacing it with the single word "oops", I outlined a few things among which is that fact that I do not call Black people N_______. I have however called White people that name, to what end I'm not sure, but it had something to do with effect.

But afterwards it occurred to me that those who would understand my position on this needed no further input from me, and others are so thin skinned and thick headed that my statement would change nothing. Therefore I deleted it just so as not to bring more fuel to the possible flame war.

Nuff said, lest I be percieved as a knuckle dragging, shotgun toting, beer guzzling bubba with........Wait, come to think of it I am most of those things. I am however looking for those arm stetchers because I just can't get the hang of dragging my knuckles. Plus it would be nice to be able to smack someone upside the head from across the room 14' away :-)

I would never deny your right to be able to snigger at anything you want to. You have the right to use whatever words you want to. But you do not own this site, you are just allowed to post here. You see, on my own property I have the right to forbid whatever I want to. I can open my home up to the public but still forbid profanity here. Much like a restaurant that is open to the public has the right to refuse service to anyone who is harrassing others. Likewise whoever owns this site has the right to forbid sniggering and anything else they want to. If you feel like a certain site (that you do not own) is infringing upon your rights you are welcome to boycott this forum and possibly start your own. Then you can exercise your right to snigger. And you can even exercise your right to snigger without the "s". But your right to swing your fist ends where another citizen's nose begins. CM's nose starts at that particular word. If they say don't use it on their property you have two choices 1. don't use that word or 2. get off their property.

Lady C-  A proud vet who has defended your right to use whatever words you wish.

Sorry Mate, but you pointed out the one word that I think should be banned anywhere. If African Americans want to use it in an ironic fashion, why not? They've sort of earned it after being treated like shit for several centuries.
