The umpire is calling strikes..................

5,775 posts in this topic

using the "R" has no place anywhere....

 

its offensive and unwanted....

 

dont say "No Offense"

 

 

 

No dear..he is saying that being retarded..and having downs syndrome are two different things..

 

and he is quite correct..

 

He was not using it in a derogatory way he was explaining they are different..he did not want to offend you by pointing out your mistake..

 

 

I appreciate you explaining it to him. If someone wants to be offended I guess they can find something to be offended by (shrug)

 

there is no proper way to use "R" word and people not be offended especially when they were raised with a special needs family member....

 

 

anyway, keep saying it as long as you feel ok about it....

 

 

 

I didn't say anything except that mental retardation and down syndrome are not the same thing.

 

I sent him a PM further outlining his error in reading comprehension.

 

Along with an quote from an article explaining the difference..in the two..

 

best I can do for you dear..

 

Way more than was necessary, but appreciated regardless :foryou:

 

there is no error in being offended by the "R" word.... :facepalm:

c'mon dont insult me anymore than everyone has.... :juggle:

whats next? dont be offended by the n word????? (shrug)

 

but hey thats a cool Superman cover (thumbs u

 

I never said the "r" word, nor did I refer to anyone as the "r" word or call you the "r" word (shrug)

 

yeah i know. bleepers said it...

 

its all good. the superman baseball cover is what is important here :idea:

Can I still use phrases like "Short Bus" and "Snoopy Helmet"? Or are vehicles and safety equipment also part of the ban on the word?

whats a snoopy helmet? a helmet that looks like snoopy kinda like the Hello Kitty helmets????

 

 

Don't fall for it, Dr. Balls! I think this is just his weird way of getting back at the board for the strike he received. He was masking swear words and disparaging other people's books. He might be playing dumb (?) to goad people into getting a Strike.

 

I'm immune, of course.

Another strike for CAL? I don't even think I saw him write more than a handful of posts since he got back from the last strike.

 

For real. I missed it all. Usually a strike from him is preceded by a few days of glorious meltdown. :(

Considering that one long time coinee has about 13 strikes against his many names and is still here I'd guess that Cal will be around for a long time as well.

What are you guys talking about?

 

Bleepers is a conspiracy theorist that I am secretly stupid and wants to get him striked, but rest assured he is "immune" :roflmao:

 

i just want to talk comics but Mr. Pelican Brief over here thinks he has figured me out (thumbs u

 

my agenda is im a foreign comic key and set collector, i source and find books for lots of people that like foreign versions of their favorite comics...
