I expect you to leap to the defense of the next Al-Qaeda alliance that gets torn apart. Afteral there`s not even a general consensus BL`s a bad guy or a terrorist, heck many see him as a freedom fighter. Points of view. Who is any1 here to say he is not in that case?
But I suspect that, as in RL, some things will slide while others most certainly will not\never had. Sweet irony indeed eh.
Personally I think some are taking things a bit far as far as not forgiving ever goes... provided he learned such train of thought is wrong (be it rasist or ethnic bias or whatever you choose to clasify it) ppl could maybe let bygones be bygones.
But waving it away as in you "whine to much" and "we all think it" is fundamentally wrong. There`s a debate about word filters going on because of the "impressional youth" lurking around.
So I cant say "Zesh is a **Filtered**" but in the next thread youre passing up (certain) prejudice with "meh"... Is this a joke? How absurdly and hypocritically prune can you ppl get??? This is prolly only capped off by being insanely cathoclic while at the same time crazy pro the whole gun culture and waving the nations colors everytime a scorched terrorist pops up or gets waterboarded. (read: republican)
I allway laugh my ass of to things like this. For instance I go by the name "Private FirstClass F*ckup" in certain FPS games... and ppl get offended. Hello, were trading headshots and blood is spewing everywhere... and you take offense not at that but instead at a clearly satyrical name? Its a family server? Were killing eachother and my nick is the issue for your family? You`re one sad induvidual.![]()
Edit: Oh, and Just hide behind TLEs roleplay, its much easier than to tackle the real issue in its rotten core.

What did we ever do to you?
The problem wit this is that if we allow a little, the kind of dudes who do it will think it's free game, allow a bit and they thik it's 101% free for all! That's why 0 tolerance in this has to be done. Does it apply in other situations than racist words, such as robbing stuff? I don' think so. We won't kill someone for saying a stupid thing in a free country, but doesnt mean we have to go "its what he thinks, we cant do anything...", I'm notsaying so that we must act extrem and kill all robbers and rude people, that'd be heavy stupid. Just show them with a away or another what they did is WRONG! If you people who said it's not that bad what he said, you do NOT help him realizing what he said! He'll think well opinion is opnion etc... To teach people not to cross line, we have sometimes to react hard way, to show the person what he did was WRONG and NEVER do it again. Sure some people don't listen...but well they often regret it later and say to their parents; you were right, while I wasn't!
And why did zerathull made this topic?
"Im racist so be it"? I see nothing stating "you are wrong I made big mistake I ask for your apologize and hope youll forgive me soon, I'm deeply sorry", that's HOW it MUST HAVE BEEN, and THEN, I would have forgotten him!
Not so hard isn't it??
