Foul forum moderators

1. My posts didn't contain bad language. I spell checked it all.
2. None of the words I used were non-English.
3. None of the words I used are on the pa ...[text shortened]...
TOSSER! (That, by the way, is someone who sticks by the TOS as if it were a bible...)

I, like one of the people in the article, considered it a "sticky situation."

Would you consider the word "niggardly" an offensive word?

That's too funny. What exactly was he thinking when he called a road project a tar baby? My mind cannot comprehend what he actually meant by that.

The fact that you have to ask speaks volumes.

Time for a little language lesson. In your long-suffering arrogance you make the most outrageous assumptions. Allow me to go to my American Heritage Dictionary.

Niggard: a stingy, grasping person; miser.

Niggardly: (adjective) Unwilling to part with anything; stingy; meager, insufficient.

Used in a sentence: "Red Night's niggardly understanding of the word "niggardly" did not serve him well."

An interesting Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niggardly
It also has a link to an equally interesting article about the term "tar baby".

A guy got fired from the DC mayor's office for using the word during a board meeting.

That is why there are so many articles on line.
