Wanna see a user attempt to defend the use of the word retard?
I should have specified that I wasn't spurred to action by the most recent infractions; they knew what they were doing, and to be completely honest I almost posted my visitor message in the UR thread just to join the party. I think as leftists we are compelled to challenge rules we think are unfair, publicly, vocally and sometimes at cost to ourselves, and sometimes it's hard to turn that off, even when on some level we know that the actual thing we think is unfair isn't really that big of a deal. The reason I brought that up was really what I said it was: that the discussions about what we think are acceptable positions for unrestricted members to hold are often very good tools for clarifying, publicly, the position of the board membership as a whole, not just for the CU/BA but also for people who maybe haven't registered as posters or don't understand why they're restricted or are just interested in hearing what people have to say about it.
I think the BA should revise the rules on debate in the Unfair Restriction thread. I'm not saying let it rage on unchecked, but there's often some genuinely useful political discussion that takes place under the umbrella of talking about what is and is not acceptable on a revolutionary leftist forum. It also just seems like it'd be a lot less work for what seems like a waste of time, given how many infractions have resulted from that policy. (A lot, is what I'm saying.)

Of course, we won gold. I do think we might have sent the wrong signals, low-scoring defensive nerve-wreckers-of-games, to the international community on how to play on the big ice. Seeing those in pro sports is bad enough, but bringing in Swiss help and playing like the Swiss is nerve-wrecking.
