The definitions of both those words have a broad range of meanings, contexts and interpretations. But 'nigger' does not, IMO.
I'm not really interested in his board, or how they use any words there. In their shibboleth "catty" could be the worst kind of hate reference - the way you say in ours fag isn't.
I've never defended his way of getting this point across - I think it was severely lacking. I will however, grant that he has very good points, and raised good questions.
For the record: please explain our use of fag, and how it is not offensive or hateful.
