Sweet Jesus - cockly is gonna be a cock, just ignore the daft little moron. He feeds on your outrage and it will only generate more lame “look at me the funny nazi” bullshit... don’t feed the trolls ;) NO.
Such language and conduct is simply unacceptable in decent society, and silence is acceptance.
Heh. In the context at hand, the use of "nigger" was gratuitous - neither funny, informative, or for that matter even insulting to anyone in particular, given its randomness. I don't find it particularly objectionable, because it reflects on the poster only. I do use the word "nigger" - rather sparingly and usually in the context of taunting racists. Pardon my langage but: Half the people in my neighborhood call each other "nigger" quite casually, so if I can't say "nigger" from time to time for my own purposes, I'm a gonna do it anyway. Because fuck PC bullshit and the racist, sexist, classist etc. New Left agenda it rode in on. :o)
