Is this offensive?

I have a post in this thread accusing it of being offensive, and possibly hateful. I find this to be slightly spammish. This thread was strictly in character, and no way a true reflection of my real life ideals. Is this thread really that troublesome? If it is, you can lock it.

At the risk of being a huge hypocrite, as I hate the mod wannabe wanking that goes on in this forum, here is my unsolicited opinion based on previous mod rulings:

Who cares if Kanami is offended? As mods have said before, you do not have the right to be protected from offense here. This ain't Disneyland, kiddies.

The only question is: is it trolling, trollbaiting, flaming, or flamebaiting?

I think Kanami might claim it as trolling. I don't see it as such. Of course, that's a question for the mods to resolve.

Thanks, man. I actually needed that morale boost. As I said, I intended to offend no one with that post! It is just a game, after all.

Enough of that, let's leave it to the mods to see if its kosher or not.

It's an RP thread, and you can RP however you like within the very broad rules of the forums. Kanami is welcome to "report you" all he wants. There's nothing illegal that I could see in the thread, and we would have said so.

On another note, either deal with the problem yourself or report it to the mods. Don't do both. Your response (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9061872&postcount=7) struck me as unnecessarily incendiary too. Where was the libel? All he said was that he found it offensive.

In any case, no action taken.
