I'm deleting/banning these as I see them.  Whoever's doing it is obviously either a troll or some kind of mental pygmy with nothing better to do.

Anyway, rest assured everyone that the mods and admins are very well aware of the existence of this person. As the threads appear, so shall they be deleted. It's the unglamorous side of the job - like how people think a movie reviewer must have a sweet gig, until they realise that the reviewer sometimes has to go and watch something like Meet the Spartans.

I really honestly feel bad for anyone that actually sat through that. I was dragged to see that by one of my lesser-intelligent friends, and I left 10 minutes into. The guy had paid for my ticket, but I could no longer tolerate my brain getting assailed by that garbage.

Back on topic, kudos to the mods and admins for being on top of things and controlling this troll.

Instead of taking part in this debate and adding to the growing number of people on this board who hate me, I leave you with this (http://www.viceland.com/int/dd.php?id=184&country=us).

QC had the N-word? How'd I miss that?

No, a person was USING the n-word to describe characters in the strip. There weren't any n-words used in the comic.

Personally, I still don't get why people refuse to use nigger or cunt, or other highly offensive words in the context of discussing them. I think words are important but the IDEA behind a word is really what we should be trying to fix. The hate, ignorance, and stupidity that surround such words is what we should attack, not a couple letters strung together.

I've seen a lot of these posts pop up on other threads too, they are offensive, mostly because of the ignorance they perpetuate. Perhaps if we [non-racists] were more willing to try and attack this problem from a different angle we could end stupidity of this type.

Yeah, and maybe next we can prove there is no god.

Anyhow, I am sorry about using such offensive words, but I am trying to make a point about how they're really just words. I mean crackers are just crackers when you eat them.

Of course, and we can use them (well, not on this board!) to discuss them - as in Wikipedia's excellent article on Show Boat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show_Boat), for instance.  However, the posts that left this thread in their wake were not that kind of discussion of anything in QC, but out-and-out trolling.

I'll agree there. I am curious as to the cause of the increase in these thread. Is trolling in now?
Title: Re: Racism
Post by: est on 16 Oct 2008, 05:00
Yeah, there was one guy doing stupid shit.  He's mostly banned/lost interest now.

It wasn't even imaginative stupid shit. That's what's so disappointing. They just don't troll like they used to.

Still, nice to get a chance to stretch the ol' mod muscles, I guess.
