Teshi, I can't say this often enough. THANK YOU for turning me on to NaNo! Maybe one day I'll find the words to describe what this month has meant to me.

I would think it is funny

ETA: Don't some European countries call cigarettes faggots?

A staff member who believes that when God says something is not Holy they say that God didn't mean it and bans people who think God was right in the first place -that type of staff member

Well dammit. The retreat is cancelled due to the snowstorm. That means I'm stuck here with psychohousemate for the weekend. I'm gonna see if one of my local friends minds me sleeping on their couch.

I was censored for using "supremacy", not "misogyny". And my use of the term misogyny was standard, since I was laying the blame on culture, not the person practicing the cultural traditions. I'm sorry you took it personally, my argument was meant to drive home the fact that the culture practices behaviors that are misogynistic-if one practices them without thought, one participates in misogyny. You made it clear that when those practices were not appreciated, you stopped practicing and apologized. I acknowledged that. And I thought that was enough for you to recognize I wasn't blaming you for the participation in what our culture practices.

I wasn't actually mentioning it to bring up anything in the original debate but to illustrate that non-clear usage of language is the responsibility of the speaker and not the listener. In our debate you failed to prove that misogyny ever means anything that doesn't involve hate. You posted definitions that only affirmed that the definition involves hate and yet insisted that you did not mean what the word actually means. On the flip side Max is using a word and trying to redefine the word to cut out the definitions that he does not like. I brought up your use of the word as an example of non-precise language and nothing more. I have no intention of engaging you on the original topic now or in the future.
