[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[SlowwHand]

Can we please ban this racist, too?

"Dumb" is not a race. Just because I don't like dumb people, like, ooooh, DaShi, doesn't mean that I should be banned.

[Zoetstofzoetje]

could everyone else be banned too, to be on the safe side?

[SlowwHand]

Well sure, that's the easy solution.

[DaShi]

He was banned for calling them dumb? Really? Auto thieves don't really make my list of smart people. Maybe they are and I'm wrong. I'm just stating my impression.

Honestly, this is so racist, I can't tell if he's joking or not.

[SlowwHand]

You can't? Must be that dry West Texas wit. You're so stupid.

[DaShi]

Joking or not, it's still hella racist.

[Elok]

The funny thing is, I don't know that DFG's last thread was technically racist, since he was doing a Humpty Dumpty and using the "N-word" to mean something other than its actual, accepted meaning. Apparently "******," to him, means "dumb person of any race at all." He still should have known better, but his actual intent, for once, was not apparently racist.

[Tupac Shakur]

He's not. Sloww's racism has been overt for a long time now.

Joking or not, it's still hella racist.

Looks like I missed all the fun.

I don't buy it, Elok. He was backpedaling there.

[Elok]

Possibly. I only peeked at the thread once, but given DFG's history of cluelessness about racial sensitivity, I wouldn't be surprised if he genuinely thought there was nothing wrong with using the word for a white guy. Too late now though, the thread's deleted.

[C0ckney]

I still feel bad for him, though he was racist and posted a lot of rubbish. From the sound of that deleted post, he was in bad shape, financially, and upset. Not that that's an excuse for his utterly nonsensical misuse of the n-word, but I do feel a bit bad for him.

i agree with that assessment. the guy was going through a tough time from the sound of it, i feel for him.

on the other hand, he's made a lot of racist threads here and the ban had been coming for a while. it's not as if it came out of the blue.

[Hauldren Collider]

I feel bad for him too. He was a pretty disgusting racist, but I still feel sorry for the fact that he's going through a rough patch, and that he's having trouble supporting his wife and kids. That doesn't change the fact that he deserves a ban for this.

[Elok]

Not really fun. Somebody trashed his truck, he started a thread ranting about how "******s" had ruined his livelihood, JM said there would be consequences, the thread and DFG have both disappeared.

[loinburger]

I take it he didn't have insurance?
