    It depends on the word. Some may or may not be offended about the n-word, but they get offended when they get called a racist.

    Define frivolously judgmental. If poster A says Bill Clinton was the greatest president since the beginning of time and I say, you are a pissant am I being frivolously judgmental?

    They are both offensive and intended to be.

    I don't get offended by being called a racist. I just figure the poster doing the calling is a pissant. As for the "N" word I was always taught that was offensive and should never be used in polite company.

    That doesn't prevent them from being used in one derivative or another. Scratch that, there was one post where it said that Americans have the freedom to be racist, so there's that.

    I don't know about these posts. I do know about in the aftermath of Charlottesville several of us being called racists and Nazis, and more recently white nationalists etc.

    In a way it's just trolling.

    Does that apply to black little leaguers?

    Jesus, I am starting to hate everyone who ever utters the word racism but especially those who use it to condone bad behavior.

    Then you have the criteria of the words being subjective at best. Being called racist, white nationalist, or nazi based off of one's comments is in your eye "offensive", just like someone else being called a "SWJ" or "marxist" is offensive in their eye.

    People are called names like that based on the name caller's interpretations, often interpretatioons of dog whistles the one called names does not hear and does not intend. One can tell because when challenged the name caller is incapable of explaining why he called another those names.


    There's a difference between saying the content of a post is SJW or Marxist and calling the poster that. In such cases, an explanation in the form of an argument accompanies identifying the message as SJW- or Marxist-based. --I recognize that some people are incapable of distinguishing message from messenger.
