Cultivating language

[Savage]

The quality of Stirpes have in many ways become better. The intellectual and emotional qualities seems to have elevated, and much work may have been done to keep the forum clean of hatepostings and bad language and such.

Many are also of that perception, that spiritual and linguistic improvements may go hand in hand, as intellectual and ethical decay often may go hand in hand with deceaying or disrupted language?

So I encourage the moderators to still look out for postings with bad language, and moderate or refine it if possible. Words like

n*gger,
p*akkis,
mooslems,

usw, are of low intellectual quality, and colors the forum, and should therefore be removed, if such were found. And changed with terms like negro, pakistanian or muslim, i.e., if there still are any left to fix?

Exalting the qualities may be a constant process, like the struggle for evolution?

Anyway,

Thank you very much for the good work so far.

Some of those words are indeed unnecessary. Nigger is definitely a derogative word with no other reason to be but being rude. Paki or Pakki? I always thought of it as a diminutive of Pakistani. Other words, like Moor or Moorish, have an historical reason to exist, within a cultural and religious as well as geographical context.

I would tend to agree on most words like this too.

And swearing is bad. .-.

But I think most people can self-moderate...

I agree.

This word is very derogative, like "n*gger" (), at least in Britain (I don't know in USA), so I agree with Savage here.

Other words, like Moor or Moorish, have an historical reason to exist, within a cultural and religious as well as geographical context.

Absolutely correct, in fact, one can read it in history books.

Another derogative words very common among the American WN: f*ckin' "niggas", "joos", "brownies", "papists", "lemons", etc.

For Susi and other British members: do you consider "kelper" a derogative word?

[Susi]

I've never actually heard it before I came here.

So I guess not. Kelp is pretty good in soup... well seaweed.

Hmm... you find these people very funny, don't you? Now, I know is a derogative word. Thanks, Susi, you are so British!

Raaaaaaaather.

Hee hee. “Thick-lipped brunets from Africa” instead of “n*ggers”? Funny! But may be it would be convenient to have two separate words for Negroes (for example) in Africa and Negroes in others parts of the world?..

Does this rule work for posts in languages other than English?

Only if it's in a language that a moderator understands.
