Originally by: Agrias Hellion Packi is an abreviation for Pakistani not a slur at all. Like most words in english its the use of the word that defines its meaning.
Next you will be saying Jock (English name for A Scottish person), Taff (UK name for a Welsh person), Paddy (UK and US for the Irish) and all the names like Wegie, Scouser, brummie etc are all racial slurs.
Grow up and remove yourself from the high and mighty political correctness bandwagon.
Amen to that!
ZOMG SOMONE SAID SOMETHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE INTERPRETED AS OFFENSIVE, LET'S GET HIM!
Oh, and Fork Boy, it IS a little thing. Why don't you go focus your energy on something that REALLY matters, like poverty or world hunger?
Oh, and IBTL
Edit: Energies, LOL

It's called "broken window syndrome". Don't let the small things continue without fixing them, and the big things begin to get better too.
I hope this thread doesn't get locked. If we keep it rational, then some things just need to be said.
Yeah, because whining on the EVE forums about a shortened word is going to feed the poor and fix world poverty.

Originally by: bigfatbird You are a joke, thats why the smilie is there.
I point you at my earlier reply. "Last time I heard a rebuttal to an argument that was of such high quality I was around eight years old."
Stop offending that poor man! Making derogatory comments about his rebuttle like that... you should know better!
Mommy!

I'm not going to bother to reply to trolls. If you've got something intelligent to try and argue your point then I'll reply.
Note- See previous post that you didn't bother replying to.
Also, if you fail to see the satire in that post, then

OK. No we can't fix the major world problems here on the Eve forums, but we can pretend, no?
Fixed.

Sometimes people get confused and forget that these are the EVE-O forums, and not the PoliticalCorrectnessOnline Forums.

Originally by: 50freefly He is merely being concise. And he's saying (or at least I believe) that you 'standing up for what's right in the face of prosecution' is somewhat diminished by the fact that you won't even show your true face.
Persecution. And LOL, my "true face" is my Eve Main? I'm being "me" here, not my Eve Main.
Yes, it is. It is to people in this game, at least. What you are doing is the equivalent of sending in an anonymous, voice-scrambled tape to Fox, then bragging about how you risked your neck to protect your beliefs.

Your comment was invaluable, thankyou for your time.
The thread is not pointless it is a discussion and I enjoy learning other peoples points of view to better my own udnerstanding.
I'm agreeing to disagreeing and going to play helicopter game, its quite addictive.
QFT about the helicopter game!!!
Anyways, I agree with you, but think this is in the wrong forum.

That word means nothing. It's only thrown as a last resort in when someone can't actually defend what they are saying.
You completely and totally missed the point of my post.

So offensive real life racial sterotyping should be allowed?
I must have not made myself clear, because I have no idea what you're talking about.
Anyways, did the OP seem like an ebil racist to you? He sure as heck didn't to me, he seemed like an honest guy wanting to thank CCP for their hard work.

Originally by: Indra Sebuchiore Congratualtions to Fork Boy for sticking with this one, even in the face of all the trolls.
Trolls?
And anyways, he stuck with it 'till about an hour ago, at which point arguments he could not respond to came up.

Originally by: Waxau Just thought id say : Yes moaning is often pointless, when its about "AHH AMARR ARE OVERPOWERED!!!" But this isnt.
And Uggster - totally agree. But i will also say, that whilst that story is entirely a valid point of view, keep in mind that people who see such names, dont know the persons intentions. They dont know whether hes a 5 year old schoolkid who didnt know what he was doing, or whether hes a racist player, whos being relatively cruel. The fact is, people dont know their intentions unless they convo. And unless people convo, they'll get offended. And im quite sure people wont go around convoing them to ask if theyre racist.
In all honesty, i really believe just nuking the name, and changing it is the best way.
I honestly will add him to my addressbook and convo him, and if he says he did it to be racist then so be it, change his name. However, the point here is that the moaning IS pointless, especially when there are much better causes you can devote yourself to.
