What are you doing here???

[lausten]

Not exactly. There are ways to use words that make them insults or not insults. The same word. Google it.

[dadada]

so name calling is not just name calling?

And all this

Note to other members, from the rules about this section. Don’t comment here.

@system

The unaffiliated Moderator or Admin (if such existed, or a representative if not) will return to the thread with the decision. This decision is final. At this point discussion of the issue is considered closed, and the thread may be locked. Further discussion of the issue will be deleted, and members engaging in it are subject to banning as problem members.

Also, I do a lot more discussing directly with the people raising the issue than any rule or expectation of CFI. That’s my choice. I can end this anytime, discuss it with my fellow mods, and declare a decision.

Is just performative

There’s a book about it

Sticks and Stones: The Philosophy of Insults

You intended to assert dominance and claim superiority. That’s an insult. You could have used the word Nazi without that intention. Then it would have not been an insult.

[dadada]

So name calling is ok when used in context??

[lausten]

Can you behave for two days, or do I put you on hold? I don’t have time for this. It’s how words work. It’s the context that makes it name calling or not, not the word.

@lausten

I don’t have time for this

Moderator doesnt have time to do their job.

My understanding from your valuable input here is that its well within the rules to name call a nazi a fascist within context such as a debate on WW2 .

If you say that Hitler was a nazi, nobody will object, If you say that Putin is a fascist, it is open to debate, if you say that a member of this forum is a fascist or a nazi, you insult him and it is not allowed.

I think that it is simple enough.

Youre missing the part about the context of the conversation with a nazi eg - about WW2

Where is there a rule about a time limit on how quickly I should respond to you?

@dadada

Youre missing the part

Either you are not being honest, and you do understand how words and language work but you’re pretending not to, or you don’t understand words so you are insulting people but not realizing it. Either one is a rules violation.
