Yeah, that's great but I think everyone knows it's the connotation that goes along with the term that's the problem.

Everyone takes everything in different ways so how do you know that a term that is often used in a mean way isn't taken with that mean implication? If you know someone, and they know you, and you don't mean it in a bad way, maybe you can get away with it, but to just throw out a term like fat, ****** or *** to a group of strangers, you're looking for trouble.

A forum is only as good as it's members and this thread shows a bad side of this forum. I think it's worth it to make the point because most of the members here are a group that have good , make good points, and are worth spending some time with on a daily basis. If this kind of thing gets out of hand, it's just not worth spending as much time here.
