It’s a temporary ban. I think Frink needs to learn how to express his displeasure with others’ posts without flipping out every time.

Not permanent.

It’s not, see my above post.

And I was wondering that myself.

It’s basically all in the stickied spoiler thread.

Don’t go in there. Trust me. Even if you’ve seen the movie.

It’s a tire fire in a coal mine during a cave in. ™

Basically someone used the r-word in reference to a character in the film, which triggers Frink because [not relevant]; after which, Frink said f-off a-hole, among a few other things through back and forth posts. And now he’s banned because Jay says he “thinks Frink needs to learn how to express his displeasure with others’ posts without flipping out every time.”

And that’s it. No need to read the Spoiler thread.

Thanks but, it is too late for me.

BTW: a belated welcome back.

Now you’re just making me want to read it… without having seen the movie first. Argh.

Don’t. If there ever was a movie to keep yourself from being spoiled about, it’s this one. I will not say why.

I would like to direct attention to rule number seven.

Jay said:

  1. Personal attacks and slurs based on race/ethnicity/religion/gender/sexual orientation/etc. aren’t tolerated under any circumstances.

While Frink’s posts may well have been an overreaction, couldn’t using the “r-word” be considered a slur based on mental ability? Or is it not considered so on this forum? Pretty much every dictionary agrees that it is an offensive and derogatory term, so why do we treat it differently as other slurs? Also notable is that this rule, according to the announcement, is punishable by an “immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning.”


On another note, I can understand where Frink is coming from, but having to respond, mentioning your children, to every post that contains that word is a bit excessive. The fairest punishment would have been to ban all involved.

He doesn’t have to explain himself. All he’d need say is “Please don’t use that word. It is offensive.”

But instead he says

That’s true. That’s why I said the fairest solution would have been to ban all involved in that conflict.

Oh. I thought the “mentioning your children” was a reference to Frink being supposed to explain that he gets upset about that word because he has an autistic child.

Autistic people aren’t retarded, constantly linking the two together kind of bothers me. I know the intentions are well-meaning, but I can’t get over that.
