Default Anti-Semitism on FICS (Free Internet Chess Server)

Let's get a couple of things straight.

First of all "Killz" always stands for "Kills", not "Kills The".

I challenge you to find any exception.


I think I have seen Hollywood movies in which
an evil German military officer speaks something
like: "Kill zie Jew" -- a conglomeration of English
with a fake German accent, and the German
word "zie".


There are plenty of real examples of antisemitism out there.
Please don't trivialize the victims by putting what looks like
an innocent attempt to convey "I Kill You" in the standard way
that online gamers convey that thought into something that
it is not.


Your logic falls down: where did the "I" come
from, apart from a very wild imagination? In
the actual handle under discussion, there was
no "I", but there is "kill" and "z" and "joo".

In English, the phrase "kills you" is lacking an
important piece of information; namely, *who*
or *what* kills you? It could be a bear, for
instance, or a nasty germ, or even old age.

Before you become an arrogant critic, perhaps
you should do some studying? Just an idea.
