HEY BK, DON'T CALL ME A MORON!!! just kidding. it's funny that Gerazan was so quickly brought up in this discussion. we (myself, bk, nephilim, and a few others) had an interesting debate about this several weeks ago that I think bears mentioning. see the thread here:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... ht=gerazan
I was really bothered by the kind of stuff that Gerazan and his ilk put in their threads and comments on this site, and so I posted in the abuse and cheating forum hoping to get some mod commentary. I got none (so don't hold your breath hecter). It seems as though the admin has taken a hands-off approach and left it to the reasonable folks on this site to expose the bigoted fools for what they are. I also think that the question of who gets banned and who decides is a good one that bk raises. that's a slippery slope that the mods have diligently avoided. and after a lot of thought about it, I think it's the right way to handle things. Otherwise the mods would perpetually be in a battle to keep things under control and those who post would have to seriously consider the ramifications of what they say. I don't think any of us really want that. Unfortunately, that means we will have to put up with the true dregs of humanity who choose to use the CC forums to spew ridiculous nonsensical hate-mongering viewpoints. we must accept the bad with the good or the whole thing goes down the shitter.
