I totally posted this in the help section. :)

Growing up around the Great Lakes, I am not wrong.
You can do all you can do defend such terms, and there are many ways to be a wordsmith.
The bottom line is, all my 53 years, that term was and continues to be racist.

Just like asking for a f a g(a cigarette pre AIDS 1982) is well, just as terrible post 1980 but it's a smoke in the UK up until the late 1970's.
There's a reason what used to be a term for a bundle of sticks became a term for hate speak.
There's a reason Carping is just NASTY and indefensible.

Just because you found a definition that justifies and helps you rationalize the words you chose, does not mean that your words are defendable.

I sincerely hope you choose your words more carefully moving forward.
The fact you became defensive is everything you should need to recognize that your words were - and are - offensive.

I haven't accused you of anything.
I have definitely pointed out when you need to choose your words more carefully.
Ignorance exists, but it's not an excuse.

IF you are going to be the voice of MFN, THEN you had better make sure what you are saying and sharing means EXACTLY what you intend it to mean.

I dunno how you didn't know that carping is a racist term.
I DID NOT SAY YOU WERE RASCIST.
I simply stated the word you chose WAS.
I stated it was not the first time you have "mispoken."

SO, there's zero false accusations, but there is definitely an education about PUBLIC RELATIONS being given.
I was the CMO and the main point of customer reference for a million player game for 15 years and I never made the vocabulary mistakes you are making.
Frankly, blundering into.

I'm not accusing you of anything but ignorance.
I'm asking - no, I'm demanding that you chose your words very carefully when speaking for MFN.

I'm absolutely educating you - bluntly - about how to be the voice of a company.
Use a dictionary. Use a slang dictionary.
Double check every word.

Perhaps you should consider this:
Every time you post, MFN either loses or makes money.

DO your homework, wordsmithe. It's not the 20th century anymore.

Tell me again how yo're going to use your powers to destroy me.

Threatening players. Add THAT to stuff you need to stop doing.

WIth great power comes great responsibility.
All you got right now is power.
Thanks for the threat.

Buy a dictionary.

We both know you are itching to delete this thread.

Googled:

Ok. in MFN, a K with 100str and accuracy, has a 70% range.
What does that mean, statistically?
1. It means MFN is using NFL kicking data to determine accuracy.
2. In the NFL, a 70% range equates to a near 100% FG accuracy.
3: The NFL uses 70% range to be equal to 99-100% accuracy from 50 yards.
3A: knowing that MFN is using the NFL range determination relevant to accuracy by total fg distance to determine range accuracy and additionally:
4. A kicker in MFN with 100 kick str and 100 accuracy is only 99%+ accurate from 50 yards, which is the opp 43 yard line (a 50 yard FG) AND...
5. Using those very google-able equations - we learn that for each yard over 50 yards, there is a 2% decrease in accuracy. 51 yards = 96%, 55 yards = 90%, 60 yards = 80% accuracy.

We can argue over verbs or we can actually do some homework and answer the question.

I did the homework, and I answered the question.
The other guy is still defending carping.

Serious Kudos to JDB for incorporating the actual NFL stats' math into MFN.

On a separate yet tangential note, given that 60 yards is the new 50 yards, the nfl really needs to look at this statistic, and adjust probability moving forward.

PS: HAving a 4th down offensive rule for opponent's 50-40 yard line is something I encourage players to try.

Hmmm. No private messages from JDB about my conduct.
He and I have an open door to discuss anything.

So, tell me again about how mad you are, the empty threats you are using to control the dialogue, and your personal issues with me calling you out when you transgress.

Be a better spokes-person Martin. I don't know why that request ticks you off to such a great degree, but that's your problem. It's very clear why I direct attention to you - it's always about how you talk to others, the words you chose, and how you use your position.
That is also your problem..
You cant delete this because I provided the answer.

You gave a nothing but retaliation to my question.
You failed to address the topic or provide an answer.

Id say thanks for the help, but you did not help one bit.

You're not doing your job. You are belittling and attacking people, ignoring questions with the simple goal of making yourself better than.
Your choice of words proves such a notion.

I will continue to call out your bullshark moving forward.
I will continue to give props when earned.

I've done both, but you've ignored the positives in your single focus upon the negatives.
Your position requires that you listen. Your position will lead to both negative and positive posts about YOU.
You have ignored every positive, and retaliated upon every negative.
I expect more from the person - YOU - that is in charge of information and public relations.
Speaking of public relations - you got ZERO skills and a thin skin.
it's a terrible combo.
What you should hear is your words are offensive.
There's no doubt you got that part.
What you should say is I will do better moving forward (insert ignorance and apology).
What you did is gaslight everybody.


Next time, do some homework, answer the question, ignore the chafe, and move on.
Try not to ignore the question, refuse to answer the question, attack the person who asked the question, and use words that are questionable in your response.
Try to make sure you respond and not react (oh, so nastily, frankly) to both the question and the person positing, BE ABSENT OF BIAS, and to only provide the information requested.

You have a job, treat it like one, and with the respect your position demands from you.
You can learn, or you can continue to burn, It's your call, Martin.

YOU made this post go sideways by refusing to address the topic and the words you used to attack others.

I just called you out on it.

Stop your gaslighting.
YOU KNOW DERN WELL WHAT CARPING MEANS.
Talking about racism, pointing it out, requires using terms that are far from enduring.

You went on and on with definitions and your excuses after you acknowledged you KNOW what CARPING is equated to because of my reference.

Which is EXACTLY why I called you out for using carping in the first place.
I know your playbook. I've lived with it my entire life.

You clearly missed the "US" and "OUR" part of my response.
How dismissive.

Ya, you took the bait.
YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE SAYING.
Still you tried to defend it.

Once again (for like the 10th time), I encourage you to be more careful with your words moving forward.
Stop attacking people.
Stop using words that are racist.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if it's factually incorrect and unevidenced.

Have a nice day!
