Like saying crows were nagger birds...obv just to describe that the crows were assholes. Poker is ...the list goes on.

These days I feel like there’s been a shift in the intent for using those words. The guise of free speech has given way to acceptable hate speech. I think the biggest problem these days that associating with that type of speech can have real world implications.
Yes. My concern is both that it's holding back PFA (there's people who claim they like the radio show but won't touch the forum because of this stuff), and will affect my reputation personally.

There's only so many times I can say, "I don't use this language, but am committed to allowing free speech, even speech I disagree with." Which is still my stance, but I might have to put an end to the overt bigoted language here. At the end of the day, it's my name which is directly associated with this site.
