rule okay?

rule: if we are able to call you on being sellout twice, you're not allowed to call anybody else sellouts or ever use the term "sellout" and its synonyms in the forums again.

How about we eliminate "sellout" altogether. The usage of this word has become really, really stupid.

why? just because one person misuses it, we should all limit our vocab? it's not offensive if used in the right situation, and if it pertains to the right person.

I think she means the word has been overused and nearly lost its point and definition.

it's not offensive if used in the right situation, and if it pertains to the right person.

This begs the questions, "What is the right situation?" and "Who should it pertain to?" I don't think that's for anyone to decide, as this term means something different from one person to the next. So when I use the term to describe a person I may mean it in a totally inoffensive manner that makes sense to me, but there will always be people who will be offended by it or misinterpret my meaning. It's one of those things I guess where use it if you absolutely must, but it's often used unnecessarily. My 2 cents.
