You weren't using it as a pejorative, but your pun was based on its use as a pejorative.



And? Some guy posted using the word "nigger". He may not be calling people "nigger", but he used a word that is racially insensitive! Booga booga!

This has less to do with political correctness, and more the idea that posts like yours are just kind of annoying. The tone makes the site seem a lot less civil. It didn't add anything to the thread. Now all we have is you acting very annoyed that we didn't like your joke.

Humor is encouraged on Hacker News, but only when it is actually funny. Your joke wasn't funny.


Yes, it was funny to no one. This is why the comment has +5.
