hmm , its a game , as long as you don't go saying you will come to my house to kill me and my family you say what ever you want , but don't be surprised if you get bad words thrown @ you if you do.

Lets say I'm me and your you , you walk down the street and I scout
" hey , you there , you piece of scum "
what will you do ?

A : pretend you don't hear me .
B : come punch me in the face
C : something ells

same thing but this time your a good friend of mine ....
Wat will you do ?

A : scout back " how you being , dirt bag "
B : go get a beer with your scum friend
C : what you answered in the first question ?

Remember , its all a on-line game , your ment to be able to call ppl names , as long as you keep it ingame.

It isnt. Well normally it is but in this case its just a fact.

[zeekomkommer]

Is caling someone a scum an insult? Should those who call other users scums, be warned/punished?

it's only an insult when it's not true, if you are then it's not.

if they called you scum :
to be scum or not to be scum , that's the question

calling scum "scum", is not an insult, its being a straightshooter, calling a good person scum, now thats an insult

[KnowLedge]

considering what i have been banned for in the past, i would say scum is a personal insult and deserves a warning.

but obviously, thats not gonna happen.

[I Am Thor]

nope, not likely, besides, i like my first amendment right

[ForestFire]

scum is an insult even if the person is a scum so when your father edited your mom and you call him edited then its ok lol i see ppl here have big IQ

calling scum "scum", is not an insult, its being a straightshooter, calling a good person scum, now thats an insult

And we should put you in charge of predetermening who exactly is a good person and who not heh? What if I think some1 is scum but my oppinion is not shared by lets say you. Or one of the mods. Your basic plan is that I`d get warned for calling some1s friend "scum" and then "legally" called "scum" - back for doing it?

Imma pass on that lol. What is this, the late 1930s lol?
