Thanks for confronting all this sexism with me. I think we did it.

I dont buy it, I didnt see any sexism. I'm with capybara, there are no women on the internet. Am I the only one who understands the rules?

"Physically it seems women cannot compete with men in anything but long distance swimming." is obviously not true, why do you even bother arguing about it? You glanced at the sentence and your sexism alarm blew up, so you couldnt help but wade in =D. I was antagonising aranka because i dont like her, why does everyone else with some chip on their shoulder feel the need to weigh in? shit...

Thanks Piggy for clarifying that your intent to antagonize was not based on sex alone. However, by your reasoning if you don’t like a black WarLight player, you think it’s totally okay to make a racial slur against said player because you want to antagonize them? Even if a racist intent wasn’t there, and you don’t consider yourself a racist, you make the slur because you dislike the person. It’s still a racist comment, and imo that’s never okay, regardless of the rules you go by.

My intent to antagonise was not based on sex even a tiny little bit. I dont care what is okay in your opinion, who would?

WarLight players who are interested in eliminating racist, sexist, and homophobic comments from the forums ;)

Sexist jokes =/= sexism.

The forums are tame enough as it is. The last thing they need is someone trying to force people to speak *more* conservatively. Why do you state your opinion like you have some authority?

Its funny that you aspire to be Petrosian, who was known for playing safe, dull chess and then tell people to stop being rude and obey the rules.

Issander - I agree, however Dead Piggy admitted he was antagonizing, not joking.

Dead Piggy - are you telling us you can't have fun without making a racist, sexist or homophobic comment?

I chose Tigran Petrosian because I like his name, not his play style ;)

I guess that didn't work.

No, I guess it didn't.

Also, could everyone please read the thread title?
