OK he said some strong things, maybe some people were offended, but come on, these forums are filled with so much crap and venom towards individuals, races etc its not real.
People constantly calling others retards for instance because they don't agree with their opinion, or they ssay/do something silly.
Should Moderator Crowley, for instance, fee ...[text shortened]... whole to be stupid and that must offend someone.
Maybe they should just remove the forums!?!
Do you alert the racist posts? If not, then what exactly is your point? That you're not easily offended, or that you like racist content?
Not liking Sheitse isn't a sign of retardation.
So your buddy can't be a racist here, so your solution is to remove the forums? 🙄 Here are a couple of forums which may be more to your taste. www.whitesupremisttoupeewearers.org and www.drunkenbigots.com

My dear Rag, I am really worried about you, my friend.
I've seen cases like yours many times, and I know how difficult is
to be rejected all the time.
I am going to say it and very clear: I do NOT dislike you. I sincerely
want to offer you my shoulder and my ear, my understanding and
my friendship.
Here, have a sincere hug from me

There, I said it.

Joe Bloggs. Barry Bloggs, Jimmy Riddle and Ivor Bigun all hate Jimmy Smith so every time Jimmy Smith posts something a little contentious they all click on the post. Jimmy Smith gets reamed.
Later Joe Bloggs posts the same as Jimmy Smith did but because no-one at that time finds the post contentious no action is taken.
I alert posts if I feel them to contain unacceptable content. Some have been removed, some haven't.
The idea to remove the forums was to remove peoples ability to insult and offend others. Nothing to do with supporting racists.
Political correctness has ruined the world. You cannot get golly wogs any more because it is offensive. Paki is offensive, Chinky is offensive because they involve racist and derogatory overtones, allegedly.
I have lost count of the amount of times I have said I was going our for a chinky, or I was going down to the corner Paki shop. If I was racist would I really be putting good money their way? No it is nothing more than an abbreviation.
I even remember when you went for a Chocolate Wafer from the ice cream van, it was known locally as a blackman. We were 4 and 5 years old and there was no way that we had any idea that this was likely to be classed as offensive.
I digress a little.

Crowly banned someone he didn't like for disseminating ETHNIC slurs against his own ethnicity.
I find that particulalry ironic considering Crowley recently had an avatar that made fun of the handicapped. An avatar that many would find more offensive than the ETHNIC slurs in question. (That doesn't make the ethnic slurs right. Just an obsevation.)
MEANWHILE; there is a clan on RHP whose entire existence is predicated on the promulgation of negative RACIAL stereotypes and slurs, AND no one says a word.
