You haven't been around very much I guess.

Only about 70 years, living or visiting all parts of the USA and some of
Canada - except of course FNYC. Only went there once - it was too filthy to
return.


It's not a phobia. No one is running from the room. It's about not
tolerating abusive, racist language.

Tolerating? What are you going to do about it, whine the dude to death?

Look up the word phobia and get back to us.

Phobia: An irrational fear or anxiety .... like a phobia about certain sounds or
words.

No, there is nothing wrong with a *little* sensitivity but pavlovian
oversensitivity, not callousness, is the demon. Nor is there anything wrong

So far, I haven't seen your ability to do this.

That's because you are phobic.

There's a difference between giving language color and being offensive
for no reason. The latter is what we're talking about.

On the contrary. The whole discussion began over the phrase "Jew down" which, if
it carries any insult the insult exists only in the minds of those who dislike
Jews or are ashamed of being Jewish.


But, that's what you do. Stop trying to play psychologist. You're not
very good at it.

Good enough to know that you are phobic because you are prejudiced but in
denial.
