Because it was hurtful;
Because other people heard it and may believe it;
Because it isn't true, but you have no defense against it;
Because it revealed the speaker's cruelty.
And this just demonstrates how little you actual understand about human communication.
Thank you, have a nice day.
(Oh, and something interesting: "Thank you, have a nice day." is supposed to be a good, nice, happy phrase. In this context, it is a dismissal, and is more prone to create frustration or anger in the listener, depending on who the listener is. Hypocrisy, right? If you think so... then you don't know anything about communication.)
Didn't you state that you would provide evidence that someone (such as Al Sharpton) was proposing actual government action, or government legislation, or some form of government interference?
yes you are. I've proved it. Here this post proves that you are a teenager. Only a young kid would use such a childish insult and would make such a transparent attempt to appear older than he actually is through using "sunny" [sic].
How have I not proved it? Go through all my posts and show me how i've not proved it.

It's not that hard to understand. Let me use little words:
What's used in one way, one day, can be used another way, another day. A screwdriver can turn into a knife. A gun can turn into propellant in space.
In the same stroke, someone that calls someone else a "c***" with meaning to be insulting is using the word in an entirely different way than someone who uses it as humor with a friend.
And, quite frankly, my mother suffered under a tremendous amount of verbal abuse by my father. She was called a "c***" over and over again in public. This isn't even mentioning the physical and financial abuse, but I'm getting more than a little ticked at you suggesting that my mom could only be offended if she was a "c***". That is an extremely ignorant, arrogant, and moronic attitude, suitable only for children under the age of 10.
Yes, and didn't you state that you had a larger penis than Dustin?
That was done as satire. I'm sorry that you did not understand that communicative process, but as we've demonstrated, you already have problems with communication. But allow me to explain this in little words too, in the vain hope that you might actually be able to comprehend:
I was suggesting that Dustin came to these forums as part of a "my dick is bigger than yours" contest. That's all he's ever done on these forums, is get into pathetic debates and flaunt how great and amazing he is, even going so far as telling me that he "puts me in my place".
I also notice that you only remark on the immaturity of the person that happens to disagree with you... funnily enough, considering how you love to erroneously throw the word "hypocrisy" around. Though in this case, I do believe that the term that fits is "double standard".
Now...
That's a red herring. Do you have evidence or do you not?
It is becoming readily apparent that the latter seems the most likely to be true. If you do not wish to prove your point, then the fault does not lie with me. No one is advocating government action. Moving on.
Do not use alternate spelling or spacing to get around the auto-censor.

Dustin was ranting against college, and the wasteful expense of it, about the time I got to this board: less than a year ago. How long were you breast fed?
We are not talking about use, we are talking about perception.
In the same stroke, someone that calls someone else a "c unt" with meaning to be insulting is using the word in an entirely different way than someone who uses it as humor with a friend.

You brought your mother into this, not me (Do not project your anger at your father onto me please).
You seem to get offended very easily, pity for you.
That was done in parody. I'm sorry that you did not understand that communicative process, but as we've demonstrated, you already have problems with communication.
Don Imus said, "Nappy-headed hos" as a specific insult towards a group of women that didn't have it coming. It was meant to be offensive.
It doesn't matter if that was his shtick, was to be offensive to random people; he still was offensive to a basketball team, and that was his intent, just as it is his intent to be offensive to everyone when he goes onto the radio show.
1. a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.
2. a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude.
3. an act or instance of hypocrisy.
I am not projecting. But you are specifically saying that those that take offense at a word are those that the word applies to, period. That's moronic.
Let me make this more clear:
You are claiming that if someone that takes offense at being insulted, then that insult must be true.
So if I call you a retard, you'll only take offense if you're retarded. If I call you a goddamn faggot, you'll only take offense if you're gay. If I say you suck cocks on a regular basis to millions of people on public radio, and you take offense, then you obviously must suck cock.
This is bullspit, easily verified as untrue, and is a completely ignorant and insulting statement. Quid pro quo.
And yes, this does mean that you have indirectly insulted many people that have taken offense at statements across the world. This also applies to my mother. So I ask you to retract it.
You seem to get offended very easily, pity for you.
Moronic, arrogant, ignorant statements do offend me, yes. Especially when you are suggesting that the basketball team are "hos", because they got offended at being called hos.
I think that this makes you far more insulting than Don Imus ever was. At least I have reason to assume he wasn't completely serious with his statement.
Oh, I thought you were bragging or something and it was something that you felt we all should know.
Kindly provide evidence that anyone, Al Sharpton or anyone else, is proclaiming that the government should be directly involved in this case.
If not, then please retract your statement.
It does not matter if I mentioned a specific appendage on my body, that has nothing at all to do with whether or not you have evidence or not. To proclaim such is to initiate a fallacy.
You may call me what you want. I will only be offended by the things that are true that I don't like about myself.
None of these things offend me.
