Defending the defenders.
Anti defenders of the language need to take a chill pill, yo.
"Nazis" indeed.
I was momentarily confused by that usage and had to read it twice to figure it out. It was like hitting a speed bump.
I should not have had to read it twice, and if we allow this business of garbling the lingo, sooner or later, we won't have a lingo. Or if we do, it will all be rapspeak or libspeak.
Are you speaking as a moderator, or as an ordinary Joe on this matter?
I need to know because I have found that many moderators (on other boards, certainly not here) can use their authority to subtly screw up a participant who has challenged them on something.
Yes, I'm angry. I will use street speak myself for the sake of having my words slide trippingly off the tongue, but to challenge someone for correcting a completely incorrect word demonstrates the "need for a chill pill" and smacks of the very authoritarianism being challenged.
Yes, I'm angry. "Nazis" indeed.
