    I was giving a reason for why I was offended personally, in addition to why it is wrong in the first place. Sorry if I didn't clarify that. It absolutely is offensive regardless.
    Your post said NOTHING about why it's offensive in the first place.

    ETA: Not only did it say nothing about why it's offensive, it seemed from the way you worded it that you didn't understand the actual problem with the word in question.
    IMO it is pretty obvious the word is offensive in the first place, I didn't think I needed to go in to why there is a problem with it in the first place. Thought that was understood...
    Well clearly it's not obvious to the poster who used it, which is the whole point here.

    Obviously not, since we've had two people casually drop that word in the past two weeks and some stupid ass white knights show up when the inevitable flaming happened.

    Another yo-I-use-offensive-language-and-play-it-off-LOLZ-brb4ever-R-word user? Humanity has nothing better to offer? How is it that people don't know this by now?

    Please remove your post! And GTFO if you don't feel the need to come back and apologize for using such offensive language!

    OP tomorrow leave him a shovel and some salt and tell him to do it!

    @abcoleslaw sorry you got thread jacked, but sweet Jeezus! Not another one... Most of us have been alive for 20+ years. That's a long ass time to figure out what words are appropriate to use and what words are downright vile. I sincerely hope this is the last of that damned R word we see on M14.

    Really??  This AGAIN??  You are a grown woman.  How do you NOT know that this type of language is offensive?  Shame on you.

    @ABColeSlaw - your mailman sounds like a real dream boat. I feel badly for his wife!  I certainly wouldn't have been out there shoveling yesterday (there was hardly any snow out there anyways!).  Honestly, I'd probably go out of my way NOT to shovel during the next storm too, just as payback for him being so rude the first time.  But that's just me!

    I'm so proud of myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not that it snows here (it's 52 degrees and sunny).  So I guess it's not really a fair comparison.
    I shovel snow all day long and then do cross fit for two hours. 

    Edit: To clarify, I live in Houston in case you didn't catch the sarcasm.

    Whatevs....I do crossfit     while shoveling snow! 

    Ummm...we don't get snow either, and when we do it just stays until it melts....

    Oh yeah, and I hate your postman!

    So, is there an inside joke that I missed about cross fit and/or shoveling?  Let me in on the joke ladies!

    BTW, I use the snow blower regularly.  Oh the humanity!!

    You must have missed the last FFFC when a certain poster decided it was okay to body shame another pregnant chick for not wanting to take up cross fit in the middle of her pregnancy and make comments about being grossed out about a weight over a certain point.  We're just relating it to the shoveling.

    Eh, I use so many different devices.  Sometimes I accidentally leave TB open on one and then shut down the computer off without even checking TB...so I don't know how accurately you can tell the last time someone was active unless you are going by the last time they posted...

    I checked her posts, she hasn't made one.

    This is exactly what I was thinking. I'm not trying to stir the pot but the fact that someone made a thread specifically for this issue and people still used the word is what really gets me the most. Besides the fact that it's used like it means nothing.

    It's a BOY

    I definitely didn't read that post at all, trust me I won't be saying it again, nor in my day to day life. I must have completely missed that post.
