    why does it make you so irate for me to say Mexicans are caucasians. They are, and one of them is going to marry your daughter, and they will live happily ever after!

    This is a racist remark pure and simple. You use his daughter marrying a Mexican as less than desirable because what, he's a Mexican? The sarcastic tone does not nullify the content and intent of the comment.

    @Any moderator and Baldrick - I demand that Tommyknocker be given a warning and two yellow cards for that remark. I want to see the warnings and yellow cards. This is a clear violation of the AUP for posting abusive comments. I have a PM saved from a mod that clearly agrees that there is no place for racism in these forums. Is it the policy of the admin and other mods to allow this to go on? The thread was locked which means someone had to see it.

    Tommyknocker took a civil disussion about race and differing viewpoints and reduced it to this. He is incapable of continuing a civil conversation even after some mods complimented the other participants on their civility.

    heretic422, do you have a persecution complex? You seem to take any slightly racial remark as an instance of "The Man" out to get you. Tommyknocker is actually scientifically right (caucasoid, mongoloid, negroid), though he shouldn't discuss that type of science on these boards (especially with someone like vance43211

    Too many people look for racism where it is not. It's like if I went with a friend toTaco Bell and he asked "Would you like a taco?" and I replied, "What do you mean?! Just because I'm Mexican, I'm supposed to want a taco?!"

    Please do NOT use this thread to comment on post, it is for reporting them and nothing else. This has become a huge problem. If needed I will start giving warnings to those who do not seem to understand this. Either take it private or take it to another thread.

    I think the comment may have been insensitive but I do not percieve it as being intentionally hatefully racist. I think you are being over sensitive.

    What makes you think you are in a position to demand anything from Baldrick or the moderators on this site. If you feel a post should be reported then report it. If it is felt by a moderator that action is required then it will be taken. But as is with members, moderators can also percieve posts in different ways, I did not percieve any racially harmfull content, others may disagree. But you are in no position to decide what action should be taken.

  7. Craig,

    How do you guys tolerate this nonsense? I see something like this, and then I begin to think, yeah, all those electrons wasted on porn? Maybe they're not being wasted after all...

    If I insult your Wookie heritage, will you give me three yellow cards? :P

    No, I will just rip off your arms and shove them up your arse . wookies can get pretty grouchy

    And if you have seen a picture of the real Craig you probably know that he could do this.

    What does that have to do with anything? I was talking about you and Tommyknocker. I was suggesting that you weren't the right person with whom he should be discussing that particular topic.

    And how was that?! I was mainly going back and forth with poopyhead about a specific issue that he had.

    the whole incident started over bluewolf's comment

    heretic422

    reported it

    u responded with a smart comment

    somebody else did too

    then tommyknocker

    and the war was on

    i have a problem when somebody make a racial comments on this forum

    jeexs already made one and got away with it

    (in bluewolf case, it was a innocent one as he is mexican too, and was only playing)

    i don't really care about u

    especially with someone like vance43211

    i'm not going to even try to interpret whether that was racist or personal


    i not here to please u

    i'm here to help people with dvd problems
    as i've always been a great troubleshooter
    at whatever i do

    and i like to think that i do a good job

    i'll admit that i'm quick tempered (i never back down from a challenge)

    but that is none of your business

    that something i have to take up with the moderators

    WHooo weeeeee! Let's take this from the top!!!

    Craig - you are not in any position at all whatsoever here or anywhere else on this planet to tell me or anyone that I cannot make demands. I demand the right to make demands - there! Is it because I'm Mexican that I am not in any position. And what position should I be in? Against the patrol car cuffed with all the other Latin Kings? Last I checked you are a biased moderator protecting your cronies, (note - not all mods). If I make a demand and you or your cohorts decide to ignore it then I guess that's where it ends. You do not control free speech and I'm sure you don't want this site, because it is not yours, accused of censorship. Just ignore me, pal, I'll settle down. A few can see past the rhetoric, but not you.
    think the comment may have been insensitive but I do not percieve it as being intentionally hatefully racist. I think you are being over sensitive.
    Because you do not or have not experienced discrimination or racist actions against you does not mean that these acts do not or did not occur and/or exist. Or is it because they are unintentionally hateful and racist? I deem the remarks racist, that's why I brought them up. I guess your furher-esque mentality negates their intent or content so they really don't exist. I'm glad. Listen ignore the mid-east thing and just bring on the peace brother.

    What makes you think you are in a position to demand anything from Baldrick or the moderators on this site
    I am a free citizen of the US and therefore afforded all the privileges of it's constitution, in this case free speech - see above comments.

    Wherever this site is run, it's subject to international laws concerning defamation, libel and slander, I'm sure all you Australians are familiar with that concept in light of the recent litigation.

    Supreme2k - Grow up. What are you a pop-psychologist? Persecution complex - go on. I thank you for your support:
    You seem to take any slightly racial remark as an instance of "The Man" out to get you.
    - you agree that the remarks are racist. You can't be al ittle bit dead or pregnant, right. Either you are or you're not. It's either a racist comment or it's not. Scientifically correct my butt. Why do you insult vance? You are inciting a flame war again. Note to Craig - I demand that Supreme2K be excuted because of his libel of vance:
    (especially with someone like vance43211
    What is vance like? Do you think he's uneducated or can't hold his own against you? He's b*tch-slapping your points like a $3 whore, (stereotype not racist, whores, male and female come in all varieties) Racism is where I find it. Don't eat a Taco if you don't want to - that's a flawed example in any number of ways.

    Anybody else want a piece of me? Sure I expect to be carded, even banned - but that doesn't mean I can't read the site and e-mail others about what I read, right? Maybe I already have another userid waiting in the wings because I'm prepared.

    All of you that have yellow cards - wear them with pride! You stood up to the reich, (3rd, 4th who's counting) and got to tell about it.

    So to recap - racist remarks tolerated, those who are offended have no recourse, Craig can censor people because we're not in any position, (whatever that means) earlier troublemakers turned suck-ups are now exempt from discipline. I get it...I'm not blue so I'm not like you...

    Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket???

    Burn on, dudes! That what this site is about, right vcd encoding etc.

    OK - I've settled down now, the horse is dead.

    Try to learn the difference between racial and racist.
    Racial: Of, relating to, or characteristic of race or races.
    Racist: Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

    From his posting style and the "quality" of his posts, vance seems fairly uneducated. You, on the other hand, seem to be about 13. And please, don't bring your mom into this.

    Not flawed at all. You have to take a situation into context. It shouldn't be judged by your paranoia.

    Wow - almost an hour after I said I was settled down.

    Hey...thanks for solving all the hate, dude. You rock.

    So being offended is being immature and telling someone to cool down is...
    If I'm so wrong, why has this gone on so long? Two locked threads. Some people are suspiciously absent from this though it's drawn the attention of some big names. huh...go figure. Better to remain silent and be thought the fool than to speak up and remove all doubt, right? I'm definitely the fool here.

    Buh-bye

    How did I bring my mom into this? Come now, man up. Explain your comment. Elaborate on your witty response.

    Damn! Never a mod around when you need one. How do I link this post to report personal attacks? Oh wait...what? They're ok if you're a minority and they're directed at you? Oh well that's ok then. Where's Tucker when I need to make demands???

    I'm 13 but you resort to the using comments from the 3rd grade. Boy, you showed me. I'll never ever mess with you ever again. You're way too witty and intelligent for me! What was I thinking? A mental giant, truly. Nah-nah I'm rubber, you're glue...I'm sure you know the rest.

    I'm locking this thread. If ANYONE starts another thread complaining about racism, or requesting for warnings to be given out, or any other asinine topic then I will issue THEM a warning.

    Heretic422, if in the future you have a complaint regarding a particular user than use the report this post option. Do not start anymore threads like this.
