Thought the thread said something about a snowflake offensive … It sounded like a very aggressive winter weather report to me …  |

If you bleep the word snowflake it's going to make discussions of winter terrain creation unintentionally hilarious. Other than that, as pretentious and authoritarian as I find a certain member's posts that are all over this thread, another member more aptly points out that the use of the word as an insult is already quite clearly against the rules as Bill has presented them. That seems pretty cut and dried, Bill, by your own standard. It's use in an argument is really no better than calling someone a racist if they simply disagree with your position. |

Sure. If you say so.  As my fellow Infantry/Grunt Vet e-pal Wolfhag said on another thread here : Wolfhag
20 Aug 2019 8:34 p.m. PST A sense of humor helps too. Imagine how many times us former military have been called names and "offended". I'm immune and try to keep it mature. 
Snowflake is obviously not the same as Nazi or Fascist. I've be called both here, by some who are no longer with us as Bill them locked out … But I never have been called a But did spend 2 winters in the ROK in the Army. More like blocks of ice As I posted on another thread here : Having a good sense of humor when dealing to internet trolls(idiots, morons, juveniles,  , , ) is a plus !  ** Disclaimer – Anything posted here is not intended to be directed at anyone living or dead.

Hell, I'm usually my own biggest critic, some of the names I call myself would curl yer toes. |
