This thread has totally missed it's point. Genesis of this thread isn't because I said something naughty. After "problematic post" I could apologise or don't mention post again. What has actually created this thread is because nobody liked my original post. Why this matters?
Vanguard of BCDC introduction, evil person, gets arrested and you, instead of being happy for justice being served, get totally focused on naughty word. So .... moral system of forum's members it totally out of order if some words are far more important that justice being served. It is is simple, punishment of evil must be near top of values hierarachy. Otherwise, alternative is allowing evil to flourish.
It's total nonsense to spend time to prove what anybody with social IQ of 2 knows. Good person is decent and speaks nicely of other people. It has pleasent speech without vulgarities hard on ear. What is more important and far more interesting is when you should stop being such nice person? It is only worthy point of discussion.
Let's get deeper. Time to start with interesting answer:
Will you please stop pretending that I don’t want you to be able to call someone an evil person. That’s an absolute lie and you are intelligent enough to see that, I think.
You act as if you should be able to use any word at all, and you know full well that that also is a complete lie. There are words that are often used that no one ever uses on this site, because they know that it would be unacceptable. It’s called having a conscience. Refraining out of respect for others.
So evil is OK, but a$$hole is too much naughty. How......strange.
Calling somebody evil is declaration of social "removal" at all costs. Not having any interaction is best possibility from best perspective of someone called evil. Evil is not tolerated and it sought to be removed. So...firing squad is also acceptable solution for big enough evil person.
Yet, naught word usually describes somebody behaving improperly, but it doesn't have to stop frendship. So naughty word is far less damaging to social relationships. Steve Stifler of "American Pie" fame is precisely someone who has friends and is totaly naughty word.
In any social group there must be way to modify behaviour of other people, otherwise group couldn't function. If violence is out of question and it should be, then only social pressure remains. How strange... See Christians have acceptable wording from great to neutral, but no acceptable wording from neutral to truly evil. So either neutrality or total war by calling someone evil.
Without word like asshole, idiot, deluded, crazy and other harsh words how can you provide negative feedback to someone? Do you truly believe that telling someone "I'm concerned for your soul" has some power as "I like your plan, made by somebody under heavy narcotics influence".
Still think that harsh language isn't useful? Imagine you in person Mr. Fauci. What it would good conversation?
O.....Mr Fauci, so nice to meet you. I'm one of you fans. You are truly legend. I'm so happy half of country hates you.
Yes, it has false interest. Yes, point is to socially disarm Fauci before delivery of verbal smackdown. Yes, point is made him feel hatred.
Why do this?
Well, our social betters were very concerned with some coof, so they made a lot of stiffling measure for us. What can we do? Violence isn't option and regime won't put it's people in jail. So..what now? Long live ridicule, shaming and naughty words.
If they pay their concerns now with social and/or profesional suicide, they will be far less willing to show same concern next time. It is very stressful to feel alone and under threat, without connection with other people. Fate worse than, maybe, jail lifetime.
In Croatia, coof measures promoters have totally destroyed their professional reputations. For next coof, there will be less willing promoters when professional suicide is price.
I think two sources are for this problem. There is push to call any naughty word profanity. Nonsense if you ask me. Profanity is disrespect of sacred. Sacred is "set-apart", special. It's opposite is mundane, meaning regular, normal, everyday life. Sacred is something done against Lord and calling somebody something harsh isn't that.
Second issue is Mr. Nice Guy culture. It is culture of conflict avoidance, lacking any boundaries, passive aggression as method to fight for your interest instead of assertivness. It is culture of avoding offending somebody at any cost. Any harsh words are greatest sin in such culture.
It is great way to make sure everyone feels included and it minimizes conflict. It is great way to treat children and keep family together, but men hate such niceness. So....price is church full of women and henpecked/longhoused pastors.
Why now same-sex couples are made welcome, receive blessing and even gays can become priests? Well, offending such people by explaining their sins is verboten. So...price is churches full of degeneracy.
