I do agree if someone makes racial comments, or ageist (is that a word? lol), or anything that is insulting should be avoided, but things get heated, and people use what they can to upset the other. In this case, Jfalc and his goons usually call him idiot, old fucker, stupid, with the gif, and what does Baddog have in his arsenal, to use against Jfalc, he chose the racial thing.

yes, ageism is a word
it affects people differently, based on gender and culture. peeps from Indian and Native cultures, for example tend to be much more respectful of elders compared to say, western Euro-ancestry cultural practice of tossing gran into a nursing home to keep the old biddy out of the way
in my mom's case, it affects her primarily when it comes to the health care system. studies have proven that in North America docs ask older peeps fewer subjective questions, permit shorter response times, and tend to omit pertinent info the docs believe is 'over their heads'. that can have a serious impact on health outcomes
not every doc of course, but it's enough of a structural issue that it's been thoroughly studied. there's a wicked jstor paper about this but peeps need an academic library for login so I'm linking to another article
here that can be viewed without registration
my point was that ageism is not a factor when it comes to baddog. he was probably a rambling idiot 20 years ago as well, or maybe just the effects of all that drinking and consumption of divisive social media has damaged his brain over time. peeps make fun of him cuz of what he writes, not his year of birth
in terms of insulting each other...isn't that what the basement is for lol?
lacking the intellect to come up with a clever reply isn't an excuse to go all white hood. it's lame and weak and racist
the real er, tragedy of baddog's ban is that the board is at risk of turning into the 'other' place, where all they seem to do their is talk about how the forum should be moderated and structured. these types of 'discussions' are more boring that reading a baddog post
we all seem to agree overtly racist lang is not ok, and it's one of very few rules that is outlined and enforced here. insulting each other here on every other level is our thing downstairs, I'd be a sad panda if that was muted in the name of political correctness
gramps is a big boy. sure he's cracking a brew and basking in the glow of all this attention. it's funny that he's more popular now that he isn't around
get it now, you fucking maple-sucker?
