This is really not the question.  The question is whether you should be allowed to roll a monk...  Smiley

People can say whatever words they choose on the Vault, but be warned: the community may react to what is said as they see fit.

In this case, the community has effectively voiced its stance and obtained an outcome more to their desire.  But make no mistake about it: Harkins was in no danger of official moderation, banning, infractions, or any other DDO.com-like things.

Important enough to me to repost here.

In today's society we can say certain things to convey thoughts without much issues. There are a couple of words, that when used in any context, can cause misunderstanding and hurt that doesn't get repaired easily. We have seen how this type of communication can cause problems elsewhere (ie Bigole). I do not want this to happen here. We, as a community, can draw some lines ourselves. I want to continue posting here. That particular word is offensive enough to me, that I would discontinue my association with this forum should it be allowed and tolerated. Whatever any of you might say about our Foecleaver friends, they made the same stand. It is a stand of bravery.

And you all can suck my wang.

And to this, I agree. Shit happens. Ill take my licks. But when its all said and done, labled as an asshat for life, do know, that I offically brought the drama like no other. An offical "i'm sorry" for the feelings I may have hurt, as my crime was of pure innocence, trying to shoot the shit with Gorn. Some specifics may not have been in my generation, or simply outgrown as time moves on but I respect that. And you can kiss my balls Smiley

I disagree.

There are very few words, when used in the right context, that do not have the power to cause misunderstanding and hurt that doesn't get repaired easily.

There are even fewer words that do not have any legitimate context.  This one, in particular, still sees plenty of use every day by millions who feel it has the ability to be used in a way that does not cause misunderstanding/hurt.

This is not to say that Harkins' use of the N-word was appropriate... I doubt it was.  But to say there aren't legitimate uses of the word is just foolish.  I'll provide an example that I'm guessing you are familiar with:

In a court of law, it is important to capture and reiterate the exact words used at some crime scenes.  When repeating something that is said, a lawyer does not say "N-word", they repeat the quote verbatim (at least in my experience... I obviously haven't attended every hearing in every courtroom across the country).  Given that someone's freedom may depend on ensuring that there is no confusion about what was said at the time in question, I think this, without question, a legitimate context in which that word, or any word, should be used.

Edit: as to my experience, one of the hardest things I've ever had to do was stifle my laughter in a courtroom when a very polite, small-statured, and soft-spoken lawyer repeated racial epithets and undeniably course language, including several fucks and c-words.  It was incredibly awkward and awesome at the same time, for everyone in the courtroom.

Harkins used the N-word in what he has said is a joke.  He edited it before I saw it so I don't know if the joke was any good or not (word choices aside).
