Example, changing your username to NiggerSpicKikeFaggot was an end-run around the request, and you got locked in the basement for it
I stopped reading your comment at that point.
Why you'd try to extend this discussion is beyond me.. it's been covered numerous times. And I didn't use "the N." as part of the offensive name, I used other slurs to make the point that your filter falls short of protecting the feelings of other groups. That point still stands.
What you and Shaw routinely do is not criticism, it's simple name calling. By all means, critique away, anyone, but be accurate with your claims, bring valid points, make your argument a good one. It's been done here before - several people have made me rethink my positions, and I like it. Overall, the points I've made here are solid and have only been dodged or challenged by people arguing from an emotional standpoint.
You, Shaw & BJ act or have acted like assholes. You're all pals, old timers at this BBS. "Insiders" would be an accurate way to put it. Nothing wrong with that at all - but, typically, you all get one-sided and automatically take one anothers side on issues. That's where the trouble is. It even spread to Letitia who was pretty eager to ban me for something I had no involvement in.
Banning people, deleting threads, editing people's posts, etc. Gene gave his story, you know mine, and the others are no longer here to share their stories because they've been banned or grew tired of the routine and left.
That is criticism. Take it or leave it but don't forget that the effects of what I've described are in plain sight. The message hasn't just come from me - I'm just the last guy here willing to tell you.
