    I don't see why this forum is the place for this type of discussion.

    Agreed. Thoroughly. I would strongly recommend the rabble move on and leave this discussion where it is. The OP received replies and answers to his questions from a fairly broad cross-section of the membership. I would caution that pursuing this much further might result in rules being broken if it results in escalating contention (Rule #2).

    Good question.

    Norbo, your question has been answered and it's clear that the majority of the members here do not support your supposition that such slurs are acceptable. As stated, such languages, as you have recently discovered, is unacceptable here on XMarks, and I guess the publican would simply agree with our judgement.

    This is getting heated and it's way off topic; moving to the Cooling off Corner.
