But yes, "Pikey" is a racist slur, and really offensive. http://www.srtrc.org/faqs#faq4466 quote:Gyppo and Pikey are extremely racist and offensive towards anybody from any of the Traveller groups as both of them have a history of being used to hurt and offend people. These words should never be used even if it is towards someone who is not a Gypsy or Traveller.

If he's upset the Irish Traveller community then let big joe joyce sort him out.

Now SurfaceDetail is shifting into CIG shill mode.... For the charges, I think there are three routes: 1. Financial Crimes involving buyouts / tax evasion in US, UK, or Germany. This is the simplest criminal act, as it involves no new laws. 2. FTC hitting Chris Roberts for not behaving with fidicuary responsibility for backer money. This is more complicated, it holds that CIG spent money in a reckless manner without considering the long term health of the firm and the ability to deliver a product. The Hollywood studio, high buildout costs, excessive salary would all fit under this. However, a charge here would set new legal ground for crowdfunding. CFA's can be hit by this, but I don't know if a similar law would apply to CIG. 3. FTC hitting CIG for fraudulent misrepresentation of the state of the game for the purposes of raising money. This is akin to an investment scam, where the person selling the investments lies about the state of the company. For CIG, this applies, because CIG continually promises a fast developing firm so as to raise more money. The last two routes are more speculative, but CIG is the test case for large scale fundraising and its failure may lead FTC to try and set some legal precedents. Also, did anyone catch Roberts starting to shift the blame to backers if CIG closes prematurely for lack of funds?

tooterfish posted:It's funny you maintain pikey isn't a racist word whilst clearly being incredibly loving racist about the people it's a pejorative towards. No all I'm saying is this isn't some big GOTCHA it's just some dumb customer service rep who said something dumb, that the majority of people aren't aware is racist. Most people think it's the same thing as a chav or just a thief. I've read through this stuff and no one here has acted genuinely offended, just delighted to have found a stick to beat the guy with and suggesting pikey jokes and references to send to him and the devs.

If that door is intended to be a means of egress, it must meet the following requirements for both a horizontally sliding door and an access-controlled egress door. These excerpts are from the 2012 edition of the International Building Code, which is a little more complicated than just a garage door opener: It's probably not an egress door. Also what a dumb fuckin thing to lie about if that email is true. That's an expensive fuckin door. Basic super market sliders are $9,500 installed.
