Blugiant, please refrain from using words like chi chi. They are offensive and unnecessary. You may not like my sexual orientation, but that is no reason to treat me with such contempt. Please show a little more courtesy in future. Thank you. [/qb]

Blugiant, I am trying to keep this cordial. But I have already been informed by a moderator that using chi chi is against the Board Rules.

I ask you again, please do not use such words here. They are offensive and disrespectful. Please exercise greater courtesy. Your cooperation is kindly appreciated. Thank you. [/qb]

I can think of some nasty words that are part of American culture that I cannot use on this board (even if I wanted to, which I don't).

Nunya, his calling me "booooti man" is a further example of the disrespect I am objecting to.

Blu,

Variations of phrases with klaat are also part of the Jamaican culture. They are also not permitted on this board.

Re: banned jamaicans.com words

The following is an excerpt from an article entitled, "Gays Log Off Elephant Man" in the 6 September 2002 Jamaica Gleaner:

"The report further stated that a webpage promoting the BBC2 series 'The History of Reggae' included the track Log On by Elephant Man, which describes stamping on and setting fire to a gay man, while the Radio 1 DJ Chris Goldfinger included [qb] Bun di Chi Chi ('burn the queer') [/qb] in his top 10 on that his site, which is linked to the BBC's."

The full article can be found at: http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/glean.../ent/ent1.html

I think the Jamaica Gleaner can be presumed to understand Patois and how to translate Patois into Standard English.
