I don't find references to rounding up a group of people and sticking them in ovens to be funny. If you think pointing out my feelings on the matter is inappropriate, either ignore me or find a mod who agrees with you.Again, please don't try to tell me what to think or feel. I'll take things as seriously as I please. I'm sure you expect equal treatment.I honestly don't see how anyone can consider fatbeard, 3tard or 4on anything but slurs. Within this gaming community grognard is one too (according to the OP it is - at least according to his own vote in his own poll <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/282687-define-grognard.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I honestly don't want to associate with people who belittle others as a form of wordplay. Fatbeard particularly riles me up, since it's an attempt to separate someone from the community at large based on superficial physical qualities.Truthfully, I'm a little disheartened to see you repped for slagging on this idea by people whose opinions I generally respect. Can anyone really defend calling another person these names? I can accept that people are uncomfortable with it, that they won't be as strident as me in the matter - but to seriously defend it?Just because they're not as loaded as other slurs, they're still slurs. Real people in the real world have really been hurt by them, and I don't feel bad at all bringing anyone down by reminding them of that.</blockquote>
