Agree. It’s racist, misogynist and ageist. Jeff made the right call. [/quote]

I’m a POC and I agree. Thanks, Jeff. [/quote]

Also agree[/quote]
I’m a POC. And disagree with all of you. It’s literally a common gen x female name.

Comparing a common name to a literal racial slur is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. [/quote]

The very first sentence that you quoted was, "Of course it doesn’t come close to the N word."

PP here. The post you’re referring to wasn’t written by me. [/quote]

I didn't say it was. I said that you quoted it. In context, your post didn't make sense. Essentially, you said that something none of the quoted posters did was dumb. All of those posters would agree with you, which is why they didn't do it in the first place.

You clearly didn’t read my post. I said I disagree with the entire quote block.

It is literally a common female name. There’s nothing sexist or misogynist or racist about it.

Comparing a literally racial slur to a very common name is one of the silliest things I’ve seen.

Read the quote next time, they’re agreeing with the first post, which I disagree with. [/quote]

I have read the quote, but I question whether you did. The quote says, "Of course it doesn’t come close to the N word." You then say, "I disagree". Which means that you do think it comes close to the N word. You further say, "Comparing a common name to a literal racial slur is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen." Yet, none of the quoted posters did that. To the contrary, a poster said the exact opposite. So, in effect, you agree with the first poster, but repeatedly state that you disagree.

Finally, I can think of multiple common names that are racial slurs. Whether you would agree or disagree would probably be a very confusing question given your track record.
