That is an extremely mild word and not a vulgarity. The whole thread had been filled with such watered down words for vulgarity. I do not think that the word patoot was what sent it to the Ring, it was Democracy4sale whining about me posting and ScienceChick agreeing

Not only is he effeminate, he's stupid...Bad combo there Arlen

Definition of EFFEMINATE
1: having feminine qualities untypical of a man : not manly in appearance or manner
It is a term frequently applied to womanly behavior, demeanor, style and appearance displayed by a male, typically used implying criticism or ridicule of this behaviour (as opposed to, for example, merely describing a male as feminine, which is non-judgmental). The term effeminate is most often used by people who subscribe to the conventional view that males should conform to traditional masculine traits and behaviours. Generally, the description is applied to individuals, but may be used to describe Rebublicans as an inflammatory allegation. Although in the Western tradition, as described below, effeminacy has often been considered a vice, indicative of other negative character traits and often involving a pejorative insinuation of homosexual tendencies, in other societies, feminine males may be considered a distinct human gender (third gender), and may have a special social function, as is the case of Two-Spirits in some Native American groups.
You fellers need to realize that it was Democracy4sale who did the whining and had Sciencechick send the thread to the Ring, not me. By the way VL haven't you left yet?
And, Raees, I was being sarcastic also, but do not let VL know it. He would get vertigo.
Are you playing favorites by splitting off the thread anytime that I post and Democracy4sale bitches about it?
No, no one bitched about it, those posts belonged in the Ring. In case you hadn't noticed, her posts got moved to the Ring as well, so no favoritism there.
If you can't stand what she posts put her on Ignore already. Here's how:
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
