I'm not the one who made the rule, no need to get all angsty with the messenger.
No one is angsty here, why do you run messages for Mods?
Anyway, it was more than a message, you moderated the Mods message, if indeed it was, with a comment all your own about Pakistani's to justify a message when even you couldn't even remember if it was correct.
And it was bollox. Not all Indians are Bobs. I note you didn't retract your poor assertion.
I guess I better wait for the 'Miss, he said Bollox' reply now.
Because it's now seen as a derogatory term for Indians. Or at least, I think that's what the mods said - I thought there was a ruling on it. I expect they'll let us know, I might have mis-remembered.
"paki" is just shorthand for "Pakistani" so your argument is not a particularly strong one
Bob is short for offshore IT workers who are often Indian. There are many Indians who are not bobs. It is likely that there are many bobs who are not Indians.
In fact India is one of the most discriminatory countries in the world. Perhaps we should use 'untouchables' instead.
So arguably, your argument is pretty weak in fact, it was probably just to start an argument.
