....oddly enough, your own cite supports my use of the term. You're
being willfully stubborn and ignorant. This is passive-aggressive
behavior. You're using this behavior to provoke another into
hostility.

No, I'm not psychic. But I'm also not stupid. Your intent is plainly
obvious. I don't have to be psychic to see it. You're carefully
maneuvering others into flaming you with non-aggressive but still
intentionally frustrating behavior. You're going out of your way to
piss people off without attacking them directly so you can climb up on
your high horse when they snap at you.

Shall we review? I posted this two liner:

"I disagree. The use of the word "pussy" to describe a wimp is
not vulgar or obscene."

The above two liner was then immediately followed up by rude
personal attack.

Allow us to consider what would be happening had a similar exchange
happened in a work place setting. Certain someones would be
having a conversation with HR right now, with some little notes
being added to their file, with a firm and solid C&D resounding
like a loud slap.

No, it isn't. It's most commonly used for a woman that the user
thinks doesn't have a pleasant attitude. She doesn't have to be
powerful or scheming, just disliked.

>Ever heard the terms "super bitch" or "queen bitch"? When the super

Almost never, actually. They aren't especially common terms. "Super"
or "Queen" do of course imply power. "Bitch" alone doesn't. And when
you say "my bitch" that's a statement that you are their master and
they are analogous to your dog.

Actually, it's really sad, but you actually could.... If you ever go
down south, there are still a few golf courses/country clubs that
don't allow blacks. Current discrimination laws apply to things such
as employment and lending, AKA things necessary to make a living...
Businesses still have the right to refuse service to whoever they want
to refuse service too.... Of course, if you did put that sort of sign
in you window, the vast majority of potential customers would
(rightly) boycott you, and you would go out of business in a week...
But still, it unfortunetly would not be illegal

Quick question... Why were you calling someone a pussy, anyway? What
did they do to make you call them a coward? Did you challenge them to
a duel and have them refuse, like most of us players who have better
things to do with our time? This game is rated Teen... 13+... That
means that there are high schoolers playing this.... Would you get
away with saying Pussy in high school, regardless of the context?
From your comments thusfar, I have determined that you must live in a
bomb shelter, or perhaps some remote Alaskan wilderness... Because if
you were a normal member of society, who actually had some sort of
contact with his fellow human beings, then A: You would be mature
enough to not be a !@$%ing troll and CALL people pussies, in game or
in real life... I mean come on, thats just rude... grow up. B: You
know, like the other 99% of the population, that the word Pussy is
considered inapropriate language by many people, and would not be
appropriate for an ONLINE, MULTIPLAYER game that is rated Teen and has
Terms of Service that, by the way, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND
BEFORE YOU PLAY. and C: You would actually have a LIFE and perhaps
FRIENDS, which, given how devistated you are from being away from
World of Warcraft for THREE DAYS, you obviously do not. I mean, come
on, it is a fun game, but it shouldn't be your sole reason for living.
Finally, I would like to thank the moderators for removing this troll
from the game for at least 3 days, because I for one am tired of being
insulted because I don't want to duel some random stranger who is 3
levels above me, or I want to come out ahead (as opposed to in the
red), from selling the items I craft, or I don't want to share the tin
vein that I spent fifteen minutes fighting my way to. Thank you, and
I hope he uses the word again soon, so we can be rid of him again.

Very true. Power has nothing to do with it. It may be used in
conjunction with words like "miserable", "greedy", "heartless", but
I've never noted "powerful" being used before.

American name for a French one, actually. Croissant or however it's
spelled. Called a "Crescent roll" sometimes, too, because it's easier
to spell and to say. 😉

Ah - a croissant! Actually, I think Crescent Roll is easier to say,
too. The "cr" bit always sounds like someone's clearing their throat,
and the name somehow sounds a bit pretentious when not used by the
French 😀

'crescent' is simply the english translation of 'croissant'

Fortunatelly it was anglicized prior to the war on Iraq so we shouldn't
have to worry about the Ministry of Peace retroactively naming them:

"American Waxxing-Moon-Shaped Rolls-o'-Freedom"

😛

That's because you don't understand what this is about. The word
itself isn't what is offensive to (most of) us. It is the attitude
that the OP had, where he believed he was the wronged party after he
knowingly violated the rules of the game.
