    I guess I don't have the courage of my convictions that O'Keefe does, but if I were him, after I was arrested for bugging Senator Landreau's office, I would have given up on the whole sting operation game and found another line of work.

    So, it's not seeing the word that offends you?

    Quoting the word is ok, but referencing it requires a self censor?

    It’s when people he doesn’t like use it.

    It really never ends. Trump, who apologized for the Access Hollywood tape and famously brushed it off as "locker room talk" is now trying to say the tape was faked.

    Seriously, how much is too much? How much can this motherfucker lie and shit on people and get away with it?

    It's mind-numbing.

    As long as he hates people who aren't white, he can shit on and lie to his followers to infinity. It's all they care about, as has been proven by countless stories and lots of in depth social science research.

    There are sound journalistic and societal reasons to use that word. You used it for shock value, as Dick does. You'll say you didn't, but I don't care. You did, and that's obvious to everyone, as is the rest of your bullshit act. I think to use that word so casually in a public forum is obscene. Would you say it front of a black person? I imagine your answer would be "No." But you said it here, which means you very likely did.

    I probably cuss here more than anybody. It's not like I'm soft on language. But slurs are where I draw my line, just like I draw the line at going after a poster's family. You draw your lines differently. I'm allowed to judge you for it, and I do.

    I hear tell Rachel Maddow’s got a doctorate in that there “in depth social science research.”

    It's interesting, one of the things I most admire about @typefitter -- and that I'm sure he himself takes the most pride in -- is that he's a good and loyal friend.

    He'll stand up for his friends, sometimes even when they're in the wrong.

    But, if you or I stand up for the other one, we're somehow being bullies or trolls, or ganging up against his friend -- and they're just friends -- Ragu.
