This is disturbing and surprising news. Lon has always been known for his extremely niggardly use of offensive terms.

Did you know that
Niggardly, isn't actually a racist term?
[/ QUOTE ]
I think that was the reason he used the word.
Humor really doesn't come across well to some folks.

If so my bad. Except I think the joke was to use a racist comment while talking about 'racist' comments. Whatever, I don't really give a [censored] though.

He definitely didn't think it was a racist comment because he used the word accurately in his sentence. He wouldn't have been able to do that if he didn't know its definition and thought it was a racist term. Same for the poster that used "niggler".

I can't believe I'm still replying to this...
The fact that he used the word correctly doesn't mean anything. People that think niggardly is a racist term, still know what the word means. They just think it derives from the racist word [censored], and is based on the racist idea that black people are inherently cheap and poor.
That would be why I thought he was making a bad pun on the word. If he knew the word wasn't racist, the joke is even dumber.
