I merely stated that while I personally found 1 of them to be "more offensive", the mods/admins in the past have (in my opinion) shown that they didn't agree and actually allowed things such as my example from PosterA yet had an issue with my example by PosterB.

That was my entire point, I wanted to see how the mod team felt about that because it seems they may have changed the way things are operating in PnR. I could be wrong, but it was an observation that I feel the entire forum should be aware of if the rules are changing. Knowing exactly what is/isn't acceptable is obviously important in a forum where discussion gets heated and people have very strong opinions.

My intent was not to dismiss your point. I was simply providing a point of view. I agree a slur of a population can be as bad as a direct attack of an individual; however, we must consider the intent of both sides.

For instance if Poster A says: "In my opinion same-sex attraction is caused by abnormality in the brain" and a retort from Poster B  would be "You're a hateful bigot that thinks homosexuals are mentally ********". Which poster has been "attacked". 

I do agree an open discussion on the forum  etiguette is a good thing if we fight the urge to make it personal.
