Correct, but one point of clarification: It wasn't offensive

It was a joke that "bald guys have embraced the term 'baldy' like black guys have embraced the term '****a'". It wasn't directed at anyone or used in a pejorative manner, it was just a reference to the term itself. If you think that's offensive then you took a harmless joke way too seriously.

By the way, the term has half a dozen *pages* of search results on The Shack alone. Why didn't you delete any of these posts?...

It goes on and on. Half The Shack's still-active user base has used the term at some point.

And then there's the OP, Carlos Rossi, who posts gems like this on a regular basis:

• http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=19268895

As a free speech absolutist, I don't think Rossi's posts should be removed. I'm simply pointing out his hypocrisy, disingenuousness, and why you should never take his complaints seriously. He's a racist and a troll.
