I disagree, because all of you enable the fringe.... because you care so much.

If noone paid bigots any attention.... guess what.. they would leave and die.

If someone started talking bad about really handsome white guys, I would not care one iota.

You people should check yourselves internally.

Absolutley have to disagree AOB, Bigotry has not been tolerated on this site to this point.Dont let it start now.

I guess the point is, it gets so chippy... so damn cumbersome.

And in the end... why? Bigots are a dying breed. ignore them and they die faster.

I do not particularly like Mississippians or sri lankians.... I do not post about them, because I keep it to myself. Its cool.... But if I did.. you should ignore me.. and my "want" to talk about those people would die.


I believe if a person ignores a fringe person they die... because in the end they are just wanted to be heard and recognized... we are weak for recognizing them. All of us.


edit, I understand community and rules as well. If bigotry is unacceptable then there needs to be HARD DETAILED written rules, and kick the clowns out, I would be down with that... but all the shippy debate here? cumbersome.. old.. empowering to the bad guys.

I see the point you are trying to make AON but if they are ignored once or get a free pass, The odds are it will get more rampant and out of control.
Therefore dont ignore them,stop them now and let the others see zero tolerance is in effect

However, the Bigotry Guidelines were created and the escalating scale was introduced through community efforts and all was right in the world. Now, apparently, Bigotry is allowed at certain times. When you ask? Oh, like this past April Fool's day. Apparently the admins/mods did not foresee members flaming/baiting/trashing other members and the constant stream of bigotry. so, instead of doing what is right and issuing warnings and moving people up the scale, they are deciding to ignore it.

We understand that comments were made in the "Paddle" that were flaming, bigoted and/or baiting, but this will be the freebie for BestInTheWorld and the others that decided to use the fake Paddle to lash out at members of the community. Business as usual, though, from here on out.

I for one am greatly offended that "a pass" is being given to bigots during this one day. Are we now going to have bigotry exempt days? you flow down the "paddle" list and the use of offensive words and the slagging of members with those words is wholly unacceptable. i assume this is simply too much work for the team and that is why they are ignoring. this was poorly planned and thought out. CC created an atmosphere of tolerance towards racists and bigots during April 1st through their actions, and i am greatly saddened by this.

Many of you won't think this is a big deal, but it is. Bigotry is never "OK" and "a pass" should never be given. Team CC needs to step up and punish the offenders. the comments still stand and are still visible!!!! WTF team CC?!!-el Jesus negro

Come on, two black folk can call each other nigger, but I can't? The ones complaining about bigotry and discrimination are generally the ones that need to take a good look at themselves. They tend to be the ones seeing a difference where others don't.

i don't think there is any other outcome than what is correct. you can't pick and choose when to enforce bigotry guidelines. bigotry isn't any less painful to those subjected to it on certain days. saying the volume is too large is lazy. if they let this stand how could they ever enforce these rules again without being questioned. "why was it OK on the 1st of april but not the 23rd of September?" glad for the review, be a bit happier when it is dealt with properly.-el Jesus negro

Stay classy, Linda X. Stay classy.



To all those clueless people who keep saying "if you just ignore all the bigotry it will go away", think again. That's so opposite of the truth it's not even wrong, it's like... super wrong. Whenever you ignore bigotry, you're implicitly giving your approval; you're sending the message to bigots that it's ok to spew their hateful crap. The only way to address bigotry is to call it out, and make sure that people know that it's not ok in any situation.

The difference is the intent. Maybe you can say that word and not mean something hateful, but too many others can't.
