I am used to it but the nasty is very high here.
And that's why there is an abuse button. Granted, the race wars fomented by the DOJ and Zero have perhaps contributed to a spike in discussions of same, but there is no excuse for mocking people's looks or speech patterns in ways I hadn't seen since the 50s. If you see something really tastelessly racist (as opposed to butthurts over inconvenient facts), hit the abuse button and let the Moderator know.
I understand there was once a lot of abuse directed at "the joos", but you do not see that since the first year or two — it was nipped in the bud by Moderators. Lately, JR has lowered the boom on some of the religion wars here between Protestants and Catholics, as well he should have.
We're better off self-policing by flagging abusive statements as soon as we see them, and being aware how damaging some of the loose-cannon remarks can seem to an outsider either lurking here with the possibility of joining, or worse, some lefty just looking for a reason to believe FR is evil.
I assure you, I flag.
