Originally posted by Mordac View PostDoes "triggered" mean "offended"? If so, I'm offended that I can't use the appropriate term to describe such vermin. And you find that odd? Really?
"You aren't fit to be a Mod,... (repeat of ethnic slur)".

So, for example, a moderator removes an ethnic slur from a few posts, doesn't hand out an infraction, doesn't ban anyone and otherwise doesn't make a fuss, and then some posters behave like this:

Well, since not all people to whom that epithet is generally applied are a criminal class of vermin scum, then yes. You can't describe them using that word. Voters who don't agree with my view isn't a legally recognised ethnic group, and furthermore not all people who's views don't concord with mine are gammons.
