Replicant: "The touchy Mr Nakamura has contributed nothing in the year he's been here. Zip. Nada. Not even a pixel on a page."

And this is relevant...how?

Replicant: "If you refer to the point I made before that one nukem I was trying to point out that Xadmax has made several contributions to the community while nakamuram doesn't seem to have made any."

And this has relevance to a member feeling offended...how?

Replicant: "How come its always non-contributing members who post these wasp-nest-stirring threads?"

Replicant has a gallery, nakamuram doesn't, neither have contributed freestuff...they both have made posts in multiple forums...that hardly makes Replicant more of a contributor than nakamuram! Merely being a member of this site gives one all the license required to have an opinion and express it!

Without hearing from xadmax2, one might assume that his use of the word was an unfortunate choice and not meant to be offensive. It may be, for any number of reasons, that xadmax2 doesn't have any idea that the word may have a negative racial context to it and used it innocently. That is by no means meant to minimize the impact of the word as a slur, or the offensiveness it may have to some people. Certainly, a more appropriate way to have handled this would have been for nakamuram to have contacted a Mod/Admin or contacted xadmax2 directly with his concerns.
