This idiot and his bud were also spamming crap all nite till they were banned. His posts should give u a sense of his game persona, and by that I mean an annoying spammy lil boy that we don't need on our servers. His take on racist comments are self evident, .... 'nuff said.

Well, trying to understand his gibberish:
| UncleMuscles wrote: |
| weee i liek buts mane when doo i get unbant |
(Translation: Weee! I like, but, man, when do I get unbanned?)
It appeared that att had not actually removed his ban yet, so I was just waiting for att to officially respond. (He can't respond to a locked or deleted thread.) |

Erm... I'm pretty sure you do. And I'm not racist just because I said nigger. If you aren't directing that word at anyone then no one should take offense. And if att takes racism so seriously, how come devil didn't get banned? He called me a cracker among things after we said that. The only difference was he was directing them towards us. It's not like we dragged it out like he did.      [/i]

No. There are certain words that have negative connotations regardless of how they're said, or to who. Thus, they are offensive to people even though they are not necessarily directed at them. This is one such case. |

Ok, first of all, a word or phrase doesn't have to be directed at a target to be racist in nature. If you want to keep thinking you can run around calling your friends ni**ers and no one will ever take offense to it, you just keep thinking that all the way to the hospital after you say it in earshot of the wrong person.
Secondly, you don't have to be a member of the group in question to take offense at racism.
Third, it's time you came out of your bubble where you think everything should be equal. Did you miss the last 500 years of American history? Black people are allowed to take offense at things that we aren't. There's a lot about the social system that's in place that's unfair. Wishing it was fair doesn't make it so. Frankly, I'd have a laugh if you called me whitey or cracker.
To sum it up: I don't care if you're a good person. I don't care if you accept other races as equal. However, there are rules in place here, not to mention just plain common decency (not too common though). Respect the rules or you will be punished. In the case of racism there is ZERO tolerance.
To answer your last actual point: You were banned after the fact because att was afk when you said it. Didn't matter if you'd stopped. Banning was the punishment. |
Personally, I dislike any comment including ones like that. Although it doesn't have any specific negative connotation, there's an inherent differentiation, as if, in this case, whites (aka crackers) are on a different level than the person making the comment. More specifically, the underlying differentiation is condescending. It doesn't carry the same weight as certain other racial comments (like the one in question in this ban), but I dislike them just the same.

That's okay. It can't be stressed enough that racism will not be tolerated here. And after all the commentary in this thread regarding that fact, only the most clueless will fail to grasp that simple concept. *glares at UncleMuscles*
Well, with no further input from att, I'll assume the ban has been lifted as he said he had already done and lock this thread now. |
