  1. The crux of the issue is "not listening" with "BTW that's racist" as the reason why TC should listen to me. Either of these is warnable, but the "not listening" is both what I'm emphasizing, and the lighter of the two warns. If I felt that TC was doing it out of malice, he would've been warned outright, and I might've edited/hidden the post if it was really bad.

    "Not listening" I can agree with. "BTW that's racist" I don't agree with based on the way PuffPuff/TC wrote the post. The usage of "Jap" in "the Jap version" comes off as more of an abbreviation rather then a racist slur. While the word can be misconstrued as such, due to its placement in the sentence I read it as an abbreviation rather then a slur. Could he/she us a better abbreviation? Sure. Is the one that he's currently using racist based on the syntax of the sentence? I personally don't think so. I would say "BTW this could easily be misconstrued as racist" rather then "BTW that's racist". I.E. While the post isn't offensive, it can easily be misconstrued as such.
  2. It makes him insubordinate, and that doesn't fly here. Also, I don't have time right now to dig up the topic in which I said that. Maybe when I get home tonight. Or tomorrow.Lastly, saying that I'm hypersensitive doesn't help your case at all, and I'm beginning to think that you're unwilling to understand why I said what I did, as opposed to unable. The inability to understand depends on whether or not I explained myself well. Intentional unwililngness is warnable, since it means that you understood what I said, and decided to disregard it.

    I'm not disregarding what you said Eclipse. You don't want people posting racial slurs on this site and insighting hatred towards other people. PuffPuff/TC has been stubborn and insubordinate towards your requests but that still doesn't make what he/she said racist either here or in the past. My concern is that you're not paying to attention to the kind of launage PuffPuff/TC uses. Could he/she be less obstinate and use better terms? Sure, but that still doesn't make what he/she wrote racist in the first place. The syntax of a sentence can tell a lot about the user's intent in its construction and word usage/placement. That along with the tone and presentation of sentences can be very important. Syntax, tone, and presentation can show the difference in whether somebody maybe joking about a sensitive topic or being serious about the subject matter at hand.
