I think along with free speech comes the responsibility of respect and consideration. Sure sticking the word nigger, or any other demeaning word in peoples faces is going to elicit a response, but it is going to be a negative one 90% of the time. This serves no purpose other than shutting down further communication as people do lot listen to someone they find offensive. Think of the people that are coming here from reddit, these are people from all walks of life. Why would you want to alienate a good percentage of them, and maybe even drive people away from the movement, just so you can spout racial slurs like someone with an advanced case of touretts. Freedom of speech requires self moderation in order to facilitate meaningful communication with others. Jumping on any board and screaming foul language just makes people think you are a shill, paid to bring unrest and distract from constructive conversation and research. This purposefully rude and condescending affect will only force people ignore you in the future. Not to mention, dude.... There's little old ladies on this board now. Quit being a dick.
Funny, but that is exactly why I wrote that. Tourettes much? You guys are so vitriolic I think you would fit in well at an ANTIFA rally. You scream that you have free speech and shut everyone else down because you don't like what they say. Sounds hauntingly familiar.
