I have been a (Green Bay) Packers fan for over 40 years.
In response to an egregious incident that occurred in yesterday's game, I posted this in the "comments" section of packers.com:
"DonkeyKong Sioux and Dumbhick Crayola are the two dirtiest players in the NFL. Those two cats make whoever is the 3rd dirtiest player look like Anne of Green Gables."
This was in reference to Ndamokung Suh and Dominic Raiola, who have both been suspended for deliberately stomping on opposing players' ankles (Raiola for an incident against the Bears last week, and Suh for the aforementioned incident yesterday).
I subsequently attempted to post another comment on packers.com (this morning), and was advised that it could not be posted, because I had been blocked!
I admit that what I had written was somewhat caustic, but block-worthy? Why?

I thought the "Lounge" was the catch-all place; like the old "non-technical" on the Delphi forums.

Why? It's sports, not religion or politics. Although, arguably, people can treat it as such. But they have cricket posts in the lounge, so I don't see the harm in this.

Why not ask there? The chances of anyone here having sufficient knowledge to answer this are pretty darned small.

Probably because as he stated in his post, he attempted to say something there and couldn't as he was blocked/banned.

And yet that has never stopped people here creating a new account to ask, or emailing the site admins.

Of course not, I didn't did I, I bitched here about the whiny twats on Code Project.

To be fair, somehow you were popular enough for us to petition for your ban to be lifted.  It's a puzzler.

It's an elephanting sunshine of a puzzler! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

So that we can all tell him that even if he's banned from posting on sport websites, here we still love him.

I admire your courage.
Actually I admire Packer's fans. I couldn't care less about the game but the Packer's fans are true fans unlike many fair-weather fans of competing teams.
But to answer your question, too many people have the mistaken idea that they have a right to not have their feelings hurt. They need a good slapping if you ask me.

You managed to offend enough small minded people - not that hard to do.

Because someone probably took that as a racial slur. Remember, PC stands for more than just Personal Computer.
And yeah, I know the world is too damn PC. But you asked, and I imagine that the reason I gave is why.

You're probably right, and that is not at all how I meant it; I am probably the least prejudiced person in the world (tied, anyway). Except against anklestompers!

That's very likely the correct answer, Marc, sad commentary though it is.

As a complete outsider to Leftpondian racial malarkey, this is yet another USian racial knee-jerk that I don't get.
If that's what people call him (and I presume they do, as it doesn't look like a name that one would pull out of the air), then it's not a racial slur; it's a nickname.
You're all weird, over there, with your taboo-word selection; e.g. "Chinaman" is another one that I've never understood.
As an Englishman -- i.e. someone who comes from south of the Scotsmen, north of the Frenchmen, east of the Irishmen, and West of the Dutchmen -- I honestly don't see what the problem is with that word.
The formula seems to be that if you treat a people badly, it's their name that becomes the dirty word.
That's kinda f'd up, y'know? And since you're running out of race names that can be used in polite society, maybe it's "American" that should be excluded.
Mind you, a pal of mine who worked at a UK car factory (making the mini metro -- oh, the shame of it!) told me that he was once chastised for saying that the colour of a seat-belt was "brown", rather than "chocolate", because that was the flavour-of-the-month you're-racist-if-you-use-it word, so we're not that much better in Rightpond.
