Bill Brasky is making it easier for me to think that he's difficult to deal with and what people have said about him in this thread have more credibility.
Your interactions with him must have been limited so far. This stuff is a culmination of a couple years of back and forth between quite a few users.
Brasky is one of the mellower people around here and an all around good guy.
People aren't allowed to post racist crap on the BBS.
Hellbilly/Aunt Bee has, in the past, taken, shall we say, ambiguous stances on the issue of race, and definitely has a... significant interest in the subject and pushing the boundaries, if not relentlessly and offensively then at least consistently.
Consistently to the point where I and other people on the BBS, mods or not, have called him a racist. He chooses to deny this by saying that he is ""Not a bigot."
Fine.
But at the center of every single topic about race and racism and ethnicity and all of that wrapped up with genetics you will find no one on the BBS more active than "Aunt Bee"
I've had angry and annoyed outbursts about it, other people have as well. Brasky deserves a turn.
The fact that Aunt Bee/Hellbilly continues to be tolerated in regards to this subject is that he never pokes more than a couple toes over the line, and we are, in fact
tolerant, contrary to what some people may tell you.
But lemme tell you this - There's a threshold for dancing on the line. Toes in, wiggling fingers over it, pissing over it, that sort of thing has eventual limits.
Brasky is a mod. He hasn't banned Aunt Bee. He has told him to knock it off, and now to fuck off.
Aunt Bee will probably gladly admit that he's trying to push buttons. Well he pushed 'em and now he got yelled at. Aw shucks.
