"That said, many people find this word, and others like it, extremely offensive."

Im not doubting that it is a highly offesive word, but should it be?

I dont think so. I mean its not the slave trade days and the 60's are over, the word just doesnt hold the same meaning in my opinion. And for a white person to call another white person a n*gger is just hilarious and just goes to show that the word has lost its degrading meaning, and the fact that he was offended by it is even more hilarious in my opinion. Now the canadian remark is another story, thats is something to be offended by I guess although its not such a big deal to work yourself up in a tissy (not saying he did) and it certainly is not a racist comment.

So when people say that Stu Ungar wasn't as good as people think it bothers you, but when people call each other the "n" word it's no big deal?

If he's continually abusive, even if it usually includes no profanity, the site absolutely can and positively should remove his chat privileges forever.

An isolated incident or two is one thing. But it sounds like it's continuous from him. I would gladly remove his chat if I owned the site, as I feel it's costing me money if I don't do it. Plus, it's the right thing to do.

Saying "nigger" as an insult is a way in which you demonstrate the belief that one race is superior to another. All of that is implied within the word.

People over react to comments nowadays, I mean really, chink, spick, cracker, nigger???? What does it matter? We all need to lighten up, and not be so over sensitive, I dont know you but I'll bet you are white and if Im right, that is funny as heck if you are and making a big fuss over this, lighten up dude.

So words doesn't mean anything anymore you mudderphocking son of a syphilitic whore!

Hi All Aces,
To hell with him. Just play good and take his money.

What better revenge than to show his intellect sux by having his pile of chips to prove it?

You got to be kidding me, how can one caucasion person call another caucasion person a n*gger and have the meaning imply that his race is superior?

Besides, the word has many different meanings, you can't define it one way and say it implys exactly that. Calling someone a n*gger as an insult can just as easily be meant as the same as calling them an @sshole. Just because you call someone a n*gger doesnt necessarily mean you are calling them a "sorry black person" or whatever the proper definition is.
