Rick, There are certainly a lot of slurs and -- perhaps "actionable" -- posts here that we've come to put up with, but I'm with Curtis and others who have taken the stance that using a person's name in the title of a post can amount to an especially grievous attack.
Since everyone here but Shemp knows that Bhairitu is far far from being a racist, it seems to me that this title is clear evidence of a FFL crime if not real-world slander. I'm wondering if we can agree that this kind of offense deserves some time off. What do you think, Rick? And, Shemp, WTF?
