Slower and creates an extra step in the purchase process - I'd say it's high up the to-do list :-)
Dear Mr DipStik and Ms Shakes, I find myself marginally disturbed by some inconsistencies scattered across the forum. I say this in a caring way, in case your close friends have not yet arranged an intervention.Incorrect. Good grammar and correct spelling are signs of education, not synonyms for white. To infer otherwise shows your own subconscious racial bias. Nor is the correct word "eurocentric", it's "anglocentric" as you'll find most Europeans do not speak English as a first language, much like Ms Shakes. As you yourselves noted in these gems:Originally Posted by Dipstik
which does make a direct correlation between race and linguistic ability. Ergo, racism. Or maybe I'm being "harsh" and it's not racial prejudice on your part, but bias against the other poster, since you let these comments go by in the same thread as the above without comment:I put all his statements in french into it and was finally convinced that R****** was mildly retarded.On the other matter of what it is allowable to call someone, it's not okay to use retarded but it's okay for this comment to be made in this thread?Note that the other poster was called a moron before he retaliated with the word "retarded", and that he did not use the more pejorative "retard". Moron and retard are equivalent words, so you should be critical of both, regardless of the user, if you want to maintain an attitude of superior indignation. While moron, however, is a disused psychological term for someone with a mental age of between eight and twelve, mental retardation is still in current use, though shortly to be replaced by "intellectual developmental disorder", and therefore retarded is perfectly acceptable as a descriptor, unless libellous.No, it's not racist to state that you can't write correct English. No correlation has been made between your alleged racial origin and your grasp of English, It's a verifiable statement of fact. You write colloquially, not correctly.I'd suggest the impersonation of a black, overweight woman is a more serious rule breaker. No-one can seriously pass themselves off as a real mod, but the pretence of an in-forum persona is intended to deceive and give scope for "comedy" where the troll accuses others of doing what they are in fact doing. The adopted mask of a Southern Alabamian fat woman to abuse others is offensive on a number of levels, including taking the mickey out of the thing you profess to be, and far more racist.
I rest my case, M'Lud. If you're going to be a troll, be consistent. It's cleverer and more satirical. I fully expect a tl;dr, and I don't care because the evidence proves the hypocrisy.

Thank you.
btw are you a barrister?
LOL. My dad always said I should be, but no, just very evidence-based in my work so I have to be analytical with words. And you're welcome.I don't take sides, I just see it objectively.
i strongly suggest you go study law. its only 4 years.
all this guy knows is how to photoshop.
Hey, look who it is, another retard!
The only "retard" on this forum is you.
Did you get that clinical help I prescribed for you?
Ciara, my friend, you're wasting your reputation defending wa7sh, a cheat, photoshop hacker, and an all-round bottom feeder.
Given your reputation in the game and on this forum, my only advice to you is to be careful with associating with wa7sh. He has no credibility left here and is only useful as our resident troll.
And I strongly suggest you go to special education school - don't worry about how long it'll take. It'll be time well spent.
It's three years. I'd know.
Ok, I can live with either but the real Monte may object to sharing.
lurker, hows your sore a$$. You must have had a lot of butthurt with my boy monty.
