so when they said Nuclear Holocaust in WarGames they meant only the Jew's would be burned?

Sorry but there is this thing called the English language and the words already have meanings. Holocaust can be used independently of the events in WW2. What if I made a guild called genocide that would be racist to Jews lol GTFO grow up.

If i made a guild called Revelations or Apocalypse it would be biased to Christians lol the lvl of stupidity in this thread is astounding!

You and derubael are forgetting something you silly bastard.

A nuclear holocaust exists, but the "Nuclear Holocaust" is not a title of something and is something you just made up.

Had the guild name be "holocaust" or "A holocaust" that would be entirely different. The guilds name is "Holocaust" which with the capital H, signifies it is referring to the real event (that uses capitalized letters) "The Holocaust" , also called "Holocaust".

Make the guild name lower case and the guild name is OK. But if the guild name remains as is, it is offensive to ALL of the following:

1)Jews
2)Armenians
3)Ukranians
4)Sikh

because they all have a capitol H in the name of the event of their genocide.

You guys wanted to argue petty semantics to justify a guild name that is offensive, well thats fine, because I just used semantics to slay you

If Derubael gives an answer you aren't satisfied with, PM Rogean/Nilbog with your concern and any problems you have with Derubael otherwise.

I also have a new semantics argument for you. The guild name "Sand ******" would be ok because sand can also mean the finely divided rocks and minerals you find at a beach. This would imply that we are a bunch of beach loving black folk, and not necessarily a person from the middle east.

I didnt mean to call derubael a silly bastard, that part was meant for the other guy. I was only bringing up that derubaels argument was a semantic one.

I dont even play on red I am just offended by the name.

Some the dumbest shit I ever heard, holocaust has a meaning independent of the events of ww2.

Doesn't matter what you equate it to it's a word in the english language. I equate mint chocolate chip Ice cream to the worst handjob I ever gotten, but I don't run around trying to mint ice cream banned.

and by the way "The Holocaust" is always used to reference WW2, they're guild name is not "The Holocaust" so you have literally no grounds besides trying to lawyer doctor TOS to try and force a ban on people you don't like.

Swyft you are still a silly bastardo. "Holocaust" and "holocaust" are two different things.

No one's gonna say you don't have a point but...

an area this server can come A LONG WAY in is learning to respect staff decisions whether you like them or not.

Ok I was just at Bens Kosher Deli and I recieved very poor service. I am officially canceling this thread. I am also wondering if I can put an application into Holocaust. Thank you.

Capitalizing the first letter of a word does not change it's meaning, as a matter of fact that may be the most retarded thing I've ever heard.

I wish I had an award to give you. Like I said if they're guild name was The Holocaust you would have grounds, you choosing which definition of a word is the one they are using cannot be substantiated.

Basically you cannot prove in any way they are using Holocaust to reference the events of WW2, and since it has meaning independent of WW2 events, you got nuthen!
