Thread for obviously newsworthy stuff

please stop using the word ****** or any conceivable derivative of that word as an insult.

And I second that... do it again Kid, and you will be taking a vacation

Oh man, you are one frickin tough guy!

I will assume you haven't read your PM yet.
Last warning

A real man would have just admitted it was probably a bad word to use and just said OK.
But we know our Kidiot isn't one since he ignored the correction and went with his usual plan b (a different insult.)

Could you get any lower?

For the record... What is an acceptable term or phrase to refer to a person of low intellectual ability? Also, was that request an official position of a moderator or was it just a personal request from one poster to another?

[ZEE]

Kidicious's mind and emotions are not in harmony ATM.

Idiot, stupid, moron ... there's a long list of them. Though insults themselves can become problematic if overdone. But in general, just stay away from things which would be (and/or historically have been) considered stereotypical slurs to groups of people.

Not that word. Granted, it'd also be gangbusters if people didn't sling personal insults around like they so often do, but then again we've got a pretty low bar here.

Also, was that request an official position of a moderator or was it just a personal request from one poster to another?

Consider it an official Moderator Request.

I know for a fact that i've used that word in the past at my time here at Apolyton. I've also come to realize how ****ty of me it was to do so. I can't change the past, but I can at least try to be better than I used to be.

Oh that's so good. you should use that line500 times, wait you already did. use it 500 more times then

[Ming]

If the shoe fits...

[Kidlicious]

If the shoe fits...

Sure. That's why you have to repeat it over and over. Nobody knows why. Everyone repeats things 500 times when the shoe fits.

[Ming]

If the shoe fits...
And gee, you have no problem repeating all the "wonderful" nick names created by your fearless leader and the alt-right press

[rah]

Besides Ming isn't the only one that uses it. It's kind of site wide. Most people would get the clue. A Kidiot probably wouldn't.
