Proposal to Amend DU TOS Language

[leveymg]

13. So, what you seek to ban are gender-based or referencing insults?

All those choice words of invective that involve physical body parts and secondary sexual characteristics would be off-limits at DU? Are you trying to ban insults at DU, or just to neuter them?

Either way, this seems to be another exercise in trying to impose standards on a broader community that are better understood and accepted within your particular forums and groups.

An insult is an insult, no matter how it's expressed. To insult another DU Member on account of race, sexual preference, gender, etc. is already a violation of the rules. It's a violation to simply insult someone in any way that's "rude, over the top, etc." Why is there any need for all of us to go further than that in defining rules that apply to sexism or mysogyny?
