I used the word "tosser" -- intentionally ironically -- because it comes from the same general subculture that allows "cunt" as a socially-acceptable word. However, "tosser" is an equal-opportunity epithet. It does not single out any meaningful group. Note also that I did not call you a tosser, I said that you might come off as one. We all do sometimes. But there's a difference.

I actually added that word intentionally. To sort of lighten things, but also to make something of a point. Too subtle, perhaps.

I don't know where you're from, but "cunt" is not in the mainstream in most of the English-speaking world. I don't personally believe that words are magic, but when used as an epithet, that word is an oppressive, offensive, sexist, misogynist projection of some really ugly stuff.

I suspect you know that (how could you not?), and don't care. Bully for you.

Assuming that you are not ill-intentioned, then maybe it's worth asking -- is it surprising to you that two words with similar literal/denotative definitions might have different meanings and effects in practical/connotative usage?

Regarding your recitation of guidelines. Come on, I was civil and pointed out that your usage was not appropriate. The only good faith interpretation of your usage is that you might be a member of a small subculture in which the word is not inappropriate. I acknowledged that, and pointed out that you should still be aware that HN is not a part of that culture.

I don't think I'm getting through here, so I think I'm done. But we're not talking about Comodo, so if that was your goal, maybe your approach was imperfect.
