Excellent point.

The fact that you feel comfortable typing "honky", but have to resort to "the N word" tells you that these two expressions are not the same.
Again, an excellent point...but, didn't JRut "feel" comfortable typing the full "N" word out? Maybe that's what I am getting at. He might not be offended if a fellow brother said that to him...but let a cracker like me say it...whew, watch out!

I totally agree with you JR on that statement (as I usually do on most topics)...I guess I'm just struggling with whether or not certain words, said to the same race, are racial and therefore require me to issue a T or disqualify a player for taunting and/or unsportsmanlike conduct.
