Of course I disagree. That's not to say that some members are racist; that's gonna be the case in just about any forum, but we do our best to ensure that they don't overstep their bounds. Plenty of bans and timeouts these past few years attest to that.Precisely. Racism is rampant here (MM would disagree of course)
Thanks for your understanding brother. False equivalence 'though.It's a privately owned site, so I get the "corporate interest" concern about optics and all that BS. Totally within rights. But the volume of racial, ethnic, gender, and homophobic insults and posts that get tossed around here on any given day is pretty amazing, and suddenly the specific ordering of 4 numbers is offensive?![]()
As you put it, "insults and posts", are a far cry from messages that are frequently interpreted by unhinged, deranged individuals as calls to murder.
100%-correct brother.You can't assume the intent of the people posting it.
Point is 'though that it could be malicious and regardless of the intent even, the interpretation by a potential assassin is more the issue.
I for one don't want the forum to contribute to any such potential future event. I can speak on behalf of the owner here and the membership at-large by saying that they absolutely wouldn't want that either.
This is 100% the case. Couldn't have said it better myself.Had there not been constant, unhinged calls for, and acts of violence from the left towards the conservative right since Trumps first term, it might have been considered fairly innocuous. Considering the current political climate? Not so much.
Law enforcement is aware of this. Not a great idea to allow peeps to sling the term around in a forum.
