You're a remarkable bastard in a good way, and I'm sure that your parents were married before they had you
There, don't say I never helped you

Context has absolutely no bearing in the minds of the mods under the new rules. If you use a term like bastard, thats a flame, regardless of how obvious it is that you werent saying it in a disparaging way.

I got a NWD for "misgendering" Manning the fucking liar, yet someone who called me a basement-dwelling sycophant remains completely unmoderated. People who feign their minority status are more protected than actual users. "No soft flames" my ass. I demand free-will tests for the entire mod team.

Meanwhile calling the POTUS a pedophile, a nazi, a rapist, and a terrorist is perfectly fine, despite that legally being considered libel. Remember when GameFAQs would tell you that comparing anyone to Hitler only showed you had no grasp of history?

What if you call them a magnificent bastard and inform them youve read their book?

It's not libel if it's anonymous

False. The only defense against libel is truth.
