Using the "n" word

[DownTownTonyBrown]

Obviously, Weekendref didn't feel it was taunting at the time.

I don't like the word and would never use it but I can see how it could be used in a non-taunting, joking way. Apparently the opponent didn't feel taunted either because, given that Weekendref didn't do anything, there was no retaliation. And there was no further confrontation.

Weekendref, I would say that you probably did just right. And that you probably did just right by thinking the situation over when all was said and done. You will be more prepared next time - perhaps a little more attentive.

But I can also side with MTD. It could also have been said in a very inappropriate manner (condemning, ridiculing, taunting) and in that context, ejection is probably very appropriate.
