Our Inclusion Policy Our Privacy Policy Our Copyright Policy Our Inclusion Policy Insultmonger.com is an alternative humor site that specializes in insulting and offensive humor: it is not a hate site. We will not publish content on this web site which we deem to be hateful towards a particular race, religion, or nationality. With religion and nationalities, we judge each insult on its own merits. We will publish insults about religion, generally. But not insults which are manifestly bigoted and/or malicious slurs. Similarly, we will publish insults about nations and nationalities, but not where bigotry and/or hate is apparent. With race, our policy is absolute, we will not publish any racial insult on this web site. More generally, all insults are included at our discretion, and any insult which we deem to be 'in bad taste' is excluded.
