Email a Don. They should be able to help you one way or the other. Maybe a Poll
for finding it offensive or not would be good?

T..

One could use your line of reasoning to use the term ****** - its 'merely' an abbrevition of the latin niger, referring to the colour of a persons skin, which is an undeniable fact.....

.

The word ****** originates from the Mississippi delta & the US deep south & is simply a corruption of the word negro's into niggra's which then became ******.

like wise the now rarely heard term ' **** ' comes from barracoon which was an enclosure to hold slaves

I couldn't care less what you call yourself; after all, it's not what you're called that matters, it's what you answer to.

However, I object very strongly to your posting style; please learn and use the English language; you are not texting your mates.

Best wishes.

thanks

Your name has been causing trouble; so it's been changed. CHANGE IT.

Get some sense and change it to something non-stupid. Thank you.

Unfortunately, it can sometimes be hard to distinguish racist behaviour on the internet - HOWEVER, your name is causing offense to some (including me), so - in the spirit of trying to get along with the people around you, adapt - and change yer damn name!

Hmm, perhaps I am being a little too sensitive about this thing. He has identified himself as indeed "a lilpaki" (lol) so in this sense - I suppose it's alright. However, the term "****" is used a lot in the racist connotations - my uncle is Pakistani and has had that used a large amount of times.

I should probably have used a word other than offended - I'm bothered by it I suppose. Only 'cause it reminds me of that, and other instances. And possibly others, who don't know him would be offended.

I was just saying that if it's caused trouble, wouldn't it be in the best interest of everyone just to change it?

temp said:

Without being abrasive, no it's not. I, personally, would prefer it be changed so it's not referring to that term. However, there's really no point in arguing about it - I don't think less of you if you keep your name *shrugs* but at the end of the day - it's up to the mods what's fair or unfair

Forgive me if I was rude/abrasive. It was not intended.

azamc · 12 Apr 2007 at 00:28

no worries, its just i like this name, use it for eveything i sign up to if you get me. however it seems the mods have been getting complaints so ill change it. question is stiil to what? how can i get a poll started with all the funny suggestions here...?

I'm sure that you could take some of your own advice here, adapt and accept that it is just a username on a forum, that is not being used with racist intent.
