How do you people feel about posters calling another poster a slut, a slapper and a cock sucker? Do you think it's harmless? Acceptable?

It's not a hypothetical question, which is why I can tell you that as far as the people who make the rules around here, it is not a big deal.
My friend lightupvirginmary was called like that by a poster named yesitis. If you try to find it, it may be a bit difficult (but not impossible), because he edited his posts since.
lightupvirginmary and a few more people including myself have reported those posts as offensive. I was offended by his word, both on a personal level (as a friend of lightupvirginmary) and on a more general level (as a woman). I think this poster should get banned or apologize for his words. The mods don't seem to share that view. I guess it's hard for some people to see things as offensive when they think it's not directly about them (which is not even true, since sexual harassment *is* about us, all of us).
Editing a post doesn't take away the damage that has been done. Now he got to act cool about what he did, and re-write his offensive posts in what he probably see as a witty way, while one of the smartest and most interesting person around here is hurt and says she will not be posting anymore. This makes me very sad. I think the lost is all ours. I will miss you on the board, lightupvirginmary.

The massage of the day: you can call whoever you like however you like. You will not get banned for it. Well, at least as long as your sig pic is not too big.

I complained about this as well. It is surprising and disappointing that they didn't get a ban - I can't believe anyone (let alone mods) would think those terms are acceptable on a Moz website.
 
If it's a sort of playful thing between two people who know each other and use such terms jokingly with each other, I would think it's fine.

But if it's all one-sided, it's not fine at all.

My opinion anyway.
 
how do you feel about posters making sarcastic comments in a thread about britney spears, derailed by a poster seemingly obsessed with the word 'slut'?

how do you feel about posters assuming that anyone who uses the word 'slut' are "misogynistic meatheads"?

how do you feel about someone suggesting that every poster on this board is so utterly stupid that she "...might as well resort to moz lyrics and roll-eyed smileys, as it's as intelligent as the conversation gets"?

how do you feel about someone who totally misses the point of comments said in jest, related to the subject of discussion, and responds by describing the person who made said comments as "a pea-brained cretin" or, charmingly, a "thick f***ing c***"?

like the first post, these are not 'hypostatical' questions.

i did receive an infraction or whatever which i assumed would ban me for a few days. it never did though, so i guess it was a warning.

i never meant to cause offence, or at least i never meant to besmirch lightupvirginmary's good name (well, not until i was called a c*** anyway) and i'm sorry if i've hurt her feelings. i don't think she's a slut, a slapper, or a cock sucker. i don't know anything about her.
 
This place is just another site for strangers to waffle.
None of it is real.
The silly comments of a stranger mean nothing.
It's all bollocks anyhow.
 
I'm sorry that lightupvirginmary chose to leave. I thought she was a good poster at times, even though I disagreed with her a few times.

I would like to point out, though, that lightupvirginmary isn't above insulting people either:

Here she calls EOH "thick" when he did nothing to her:

Here's another orginal quote and LVM's response:

I'm really sorry if LVM was offended by yestis's posts, but she needs to also realize that she calls others names as well and is quite rude at times. She's actually been quite rude to me on a few occasions. I'm not making excuses for yestis, or saying what he/she did was okay, but LVM doesn't need to dish it if she can't take it.

It's not about being rude, it's the sexual harassment aspect of it that I find disturbing. There's a difference between being called 'stupid' and a 'cock sucker'. Try to imagine it in a real life situation, maybe you'll see what I mean. I think a big part of the insult is the realization that sexual assaults are being tolerated here.
