<< It Really angered me that this mocking word is being accepted and
used in scholarship and literature as a legitimate and authentic term.
Having a bunch of old professors relating 'niguard' to a term in classical
literature, right out of Volitare, is absurd. I can't believe that term
for 'foolishness' even survived after all that time. You think such as
obvious flaw would be disregarded as rubbish after some time, yet it's
overlooked and taught still. >>
i strongly disagree with you. in the mailing i just wrote i told you my view
of censorship as a great flaw. a words definition and its intended meaning
can be completely different things. should we choose to use a word that might
offend someone then we should face the consequences of our action if it does.
A word like nigger, spic, cracker, mick, kike (shall i go on?) is used
intentionally today to offend people. should i use one of the words i should
also face the consequence decided by the offended person/peoples.
