I have a feeling that the banner was personally offended.

Although he is a good friend and we all ways diss eachother.

and he has replied to this thread saying it was a joke.

also he is from Denmark non jewish, I don't think he is gonna care if I call him a jew.

and to all those saying I got such a long ban because I must have had multiple offences, that is why I made this thread, because this is the FIRST time I have been banned, which is what makes it so weird.

*EDIT* ohh sorry miss read the above post.

Since when is calling someone a jew racism? It's like calling someone 'christian', 'muslim' or even 'atheist'...

Or are we all overly sensitive these days. Am I being a racist when I call someone a Mediterranean, Asian or Caucasian?
We might be better not call anyone 'human' any more, it's a term that clearly states a certain race.... not good.

This will only lead to people being banned for saying "Asshole" which is considered rude, instead of the more appropriate "Anus"

If it was someone on staff that got personally offended enough to hand down that ban I wonder how they cope with life in the real world. That is of course on the off chance you are telling the truth OP and this was a first offense. Next time try calling them a cracker and see what happens...oh wait, nothing. Being offended for the sake of others has become a national pastime.

Could always be worse too bro. They could chuck you in e-jail for violating the expanded GW hate crimes legislation. Let us all try to remember that calling someone a Jew is now vituperative racism /sarc.

Funny.
And sad.

In my guild we call each other nggrs and other shit daily because nobody cares.
Alliance too.
Really, distinguishing seems to be way too difficult.

Anet needs to hire a couple persons who know that culture has it so a lot of people aren't extremely butthurt over simple words.

Another somewhat brutallly honest OP does nothing but seep into the depths of semi brutally honest unintelligent posts.

Calling someone a jew is completely different from calling someone Jewish which their religious background/right/choice.

Using "simple" words in amongst friends be it calling people a "jew" or "ngga" or whatever.....falls into the category of fitting in.

The main two reasons someone uses such "simple" words with such negative connotations....

1. No one taught that person any better
2. The people around you don't care....but they should.

Whats right is right.

But hey at some point in life we are all guilty of just trying to fit in by making decisions we know in the first place arent the right decisions. At some point in life ...this thought needs to be learned and then move on. Its called maturity. It continues all through life.

The big picture is always the best picture. The more you know....the better chance you have to make good decisions. If you think its ok for a guild to just widely use "ngga" in chat....you're wrong.

When are people as a whole going to learn.......the world would be a lot different if people truely treated people....how they want to be treated.

Unrealistic you may say? Things are only unrealisitic if you dont try.

Nigerian, puh-leeeeeze.
hip-hopping rap artists do it all the time, albeit not in their guild chat.
