A profanity is offensive language, saying about yourself or agreeing the fact you are a rude person or asshole isnt.

In certain places no matter if you are talking about yourself or someone else, the word asshole is considered profanity.  Since this is an international site, they need to look out for everyone and label appropriately. 

Well there are a lot of gay people on VGC and they love assholes.

There is so much wrong with this joke, I am wondering if you thought it through.  

I'm an asshole.  Why would I think?

I think you have a higher chance of getting the things you want in life if you approach situations in an aggressive, stubborn way, and many assholes have those traits. Thus, it might seem like you have to be an asshole, but there are other, non-asshole ways to get the things you want. In other words, you can be aggressive without being an asshole.

But it's undeniable that we live in a world filled with greedy assholes who do not care even a single bit about anyone but themselves.

If only we lived in a place where people got what they deserved... if the people who drove like assholes didn't get to their destination the fastest, for example.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Oh wow, did he just get banned for that?

I'm very curious about something but I want to be careful how I ask this. Was the moderator who banned him homosexual as well? I've never been banned on any forum on the Internet, and I've seen some pretty awful things said by people. And considering the thread we are in...

If you look at the ban note, user history seems to be at the heart of the issue. It was a risky comment in general though. Even with years of membership credibility, that post would have raised an eyebrow or two. I tend to, in the absence of knowledge of comments made in the past, give people the benefit of the doubt, but the mods have member history to draw upon, so it's usually safe to trust their judgement, even in a case like this where the thread lends itself to more extreme comments.

And just to be clear, none of the above is meant as personal indictment against seth.

-edit. I know I shouldn't butt in here, but felt it was worth the risk in overstepping my bounds.

Move along
