The point is great but I'm gonna hop on the r word bandwagon and say, your point will be taken a lot better by any admin if you don't use derogatory terms - they're just gonna write you off as a troll who's business they don't want anyway.
Really that goes for any legitimate argument or debate - using slurs\too many curse words is gonna invalidate you to the opposing party.
Not gonna go in on you about how hurtful that slur is and why we shouldn't use it - watch a YouTube vid or two to see how it's been used against neurodivergent and generally atypical people. 👍
sorry, I mostly used the r word as a synonym for "dumbass" and nobody said anything about it until now, I will change my ways
Yep where i grew up it was the same thing with that word. life is all about learning. Good on you for seeing that instead of digging your heels in. :)
