raff Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 mariotti is gay , thats all i can say. he disgraces chicago on around the horn, when im out of state all the people there hate him on the show, he makes chicago fans look bad. he is not the dumbest writer in town (smith) but he is very biased and unfair. carmen defalco should get his own show. ive met him and he is a great guy and he knows a lot about the sox (he hates the cubs). he and silvy is a pretty good show, only if carmen could lead instead of being the #2 man.

DeFalco with Dickerson, Boden, anyone but Silverman. Silverman revealed his true colors while working with Jay.....what's his name again? Silverman is a toadie and a Hendry nutswinger and should wallow in overnights. DeFalco & Dickerson works just fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hey, don't lump him in with me What gay person would find that douche-bag attractive? He's just a mean-spirited moron & his time has come. Send him to NY where he belongs. He can spend his remaining days kissing up to the Boss.

It is about respect for other people. We do not allow people to use terms derogatory to other races, sexes, religions, ways of life, etc. Gay being used to mean dumb is an insult to an entire group of people. It is not cute and it is not funny. Period. I am sorry if this ruins your stay here, but not only is this not Cubstalk.com, it is also not one of those crappy, poorly run team boards where people can say whatever they want and not have to worry about taking responsibility for their actions. We hold ourselves to higher standards than that, and this is one area of those standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are tons of adjectives to use, why get banned over one in particular? I always preferred to label Mariotti as a "tool" anyways. I believe that only offends a few aisles at the Ace Hardware.

Soxtalk as a whole views that usage as racial stereotype. This policy has been in place for quite a while and has served our diverse community quite well. These are the site's policies, period. You will not be permitted to use stereotypes like that on here, and if this becomes a continuing problem, proper action will be taken.

And I really am not going to argue with you on here about this. You can either PM me or send me an email. But what it all amounts to is this isn't allowed, period.

Personally I think a vote should be cast amongst members here to decide whether we should allow sexual, racial, or ethnic slurs. Especially ethnic since such slurs have such a rich tradition in sports history. If you're old-school. You grew up with sitcoms like Archie Bunker, Chico & the Man, Sanford & Son, & the Jeffersons. All types of slurs were common on these shows. They are common on the Sopranos even. It's a part of America's culture & tradition. It makes life a little more interesting. It's all in good fun. Everyone is denigrated equally & no one is treated sacred. That's old-school. But there are those here who are new-school. Everyone is treated sacred so no one should be denigrated. It's all part of the socialism that breeds like a plague coming out of France. Everyone should think the same, speak the same, & act the same. All speech should be good & supportive of others. Blah, blah, blah. Never anything bad. You use a slur you go to jail. That's France for you. Yet at the same time they say to Muslim women "I could give a rats arse about your religion. You're going to attend school here & you're going to do while bearing your entire face." Hyprocritical to no end. Yet because it fits in their idea of political correctness they can't see that as a form of hate & denigration. Oh there will be those who will argue it's a matter of national security. What a crock of crap! I'm sure they would prefer being finger printed than having to discard a major tenet of their faith. The girl is registered in the school & her parents show up at parent-teacher conferences. It's assenine to believe it's needed for national security. Well I've had my say. Unless it's decided in a democratic manner by a vote of members the new-school admins & mods have the final say. It's their board & they devote their time & energy into maintain it. I have no problem with that & I do thank them for their efforts. All I can do is appeal to their sense of conscience that democracy is a better alternative to socialism on any issue. But if they feel otherwise we should respect that. Giving up slurs in posts is a small price to pay for enjoying Soxtalk. The alternative is WSI & believe me when I say "you don't want to go there." PS> If you need a new word for stupid try baka. It's Japanese for idiot or idiotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 In today's times gay does also means stupid or dumb, but it really shouldn't be used like that. I catch myself saying that outloud but I'm trying to stop because you never know who you could offend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
