SS DivisionViking's term for people of Arab descent- "mudmen"- would seem to be a violation of forum rules, although not specifically addressed in the "Glossary of Forbidden Actions." It seems to be on the border between trolling and flamebaiting. I know there's a serious discussion about the use of the n-word in General at the moment... but this doesn't seem to be an intellectual analysis of the word.

Is it worthy of moderator action, or is this sort of thing appropriate?
