    There is no connotation whatsoever associated with my use of gun toting. Would you like me to start posting definitions to display, word by word, that "gun toting" as a phrase simply means "to carry a gun" or are you well aware of that?

    And if you are well aware of that, then you must surely understand that there is no connotation in my previous post.

    If I had called him a "gun-toting polynesian hillbilly racist", THAT would be a negative connotation.

    It's always very interesting to watch some people try so hard to be the victim when they aren't. Give it up with the false indignation - no one is after you or trying to shut down your lifestyle. As I pointed out last post, no one gives a shit. Your life is your business.

    But then, I'm just a mouse-toting forum goer, so whaddoo I know?

    Lol people like you claim negro is just a color in Spanish too.

    This thread should have been handled by the mod as such: thread removed, PM sent to offender saying politics are against forum policy and he has a 7 day timeout to reflect on this policy further.

    Instead we have a shitfestival.

    Gun toting wasn't the best choice of words I admit.

    I will say though, he has pushed HIS agenda. He has been warned and keeps falling back on his old ways.

    Those are some pretty serious words, not sure this website promotes member bashing either. Its one thing to ban him for breaking the rules, but a personal attack is a whole different thing all together. Moderators should be held to a higher standard if theu are going to police this site.

    You have, including some debates with me about communism, socialism, capitalism, etc, etc. I'm not going to waste my whole evening going through old TW threads, I really don't have the desire. lol

    We have all broken the rules on here including myself, I'm just tired because the majority of the moderators seem to be more left sided, and less enforceable towards members left sided views.
    Now having said that I'll just shut up now before I get banned.....It fells like I'm in Russia and the KGB is taking people out and I might be next. lol!

    Negro is a color in spanish.

    http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/black

    Note that, dependent upon context, it can be used to describe, or it can be used to offend Al Sharpton. Just like "gun toting", depending on context, can be used as a descriptor, or as a slur.

    I find it sad that I have had to bold this in dark negro for emphasis.

    We were overdue for one anyway.

    I think you missed the important part of his post

    This means carrying out the rules without resorting to name calling.

    Yes, but everyone has their moments of humanity, you can't expect the mods to act like robots 24/7. Things piss them off too, I'm sure dealing with repeat offenders is frustrating..

    That said, I don't know how many times he's done this before or been warned, but it seemed a little harsh the way I read it

    Communism, Socialism, and Capitalism are economic systems, not political topics.

    If you are not aware that politics and economics are different things, I can't be blamed for your misunderstanding.

    The rest of your quote was a description of how the mods should have theoretically handled this thread. I didn't see how that was in any way relevant to the context of negro and whether or not it was a color in Spanish.

    Please correct my logic if I am in error.

    After what the guy says at 1:42 and the very end it saddens me that anyone believes anything this guy says. I don't care what "side" you are on, anyone in their right mind knows that George W. was not the most intelligent president since Bush Sr. And in the end he stereotypes Democrats as mean, nasty people based on what he's supposedly heard from his secret service buddies. Anyone that paints that black and white of a picture is obviously an idiot. I don't give two shits about politics but people that make these kinds of gross generalizations based on clearly biased information disgust me.
