OK...Ill play:
1. This aint your site. You dont like it, buzz off. Go play in another internet sandbox.
2. Stop acting like someone elses Conscience Police. They have a right to their own set of standards. If you think someone is breaking the law, dial 911.
3. You obviously feel that you have a 10th sense for sniffing out bias or prejudice. I suggest you approach a cable network & propose a series. How does,
Target:Racist sound? You could simply point to various members of the audience & announce the biases youve uncovered. Im sure youd be the darling of the KOS generation. Which seems like a good fit.
4. Although Ive not been an official Freeper for long, (like many, many others) Ive been reading posts on this site for years. It didnt take me long to filter posts WITHOUT bothering mods. Someone says something I find offensive, why, I do something astounding: I STOP READING THE POST. Now, obviously that must be a gift I have that you were denied. But, Im sure, with a bit pf practice, most anyone can learn it. And if I were you, I do just that. Its a skill youll need as you wander the Web, looking for the next site that needs your guidance & whatever you obviously think passes for wit.
7. Finally, I have posted little. But one thread I did start was killed by the Mods (in a heartbeat) because it contained the N word.
Did I say it? No. Did another poster say it? No. Who said it? I simply posted an article that quoted... AN OBAMA SUPPORTER. Got that?
I QUOTED AN OBAMA SUPPORTER WHO USED A RACIAL EPITHET. And the thread was gone. Id say thats pretty darn remarkable, wouldnt you?
So while youre so friggin busy lecturing other Freepers about racism, you might want to ponder that. Or not.
Its nothing to me.
Yes, that is astounding. Astoundingly passive. Apparently you don't care how the community you are a part of conducts itself and is viewed. I do. It's called "taking responsibility". You should try it. Instead of just walking away when you see something offensive being said by a fellow member of a community of which you are a member, you should have the courage to speak up. If you don't, you will be tarred as complicit.
‘It didnt take me long to filter posts WITHOUT bothering mods. Someone says something I find offensive, why, I do something astounding: I STOP READING THE POST.’
In the 1930’s good people did the same thing. Just turned their heads and stopped looking.
When they, again, turned their heads, millions of people were dead.
