View Full Version : Banning


07-24-2005, 07:13 PM
I recently posted here under the name" heavybody" and my account was banned for using racist comments on this forum. I would like the moderator who did so to please show me the racist post I made. I have never posted a racist post anywhere. I have never belittled any races on this board and I don't understand what happened. It's not a big deal as i understand this is a privately owned forum and subject to the whims of the owners so I am not complaining about censorship. Still an explanation would be nice. At least most adults would offer some explanation. But whatever. it's your sandbox.

well, you haven't posted under that name for a few weeks. I took a look at the last 5 posts you made, nothing stood out to me.

Maybe it was this statement referring to Michael Jackson:

This is mildly racist, not worth a banning in my opinion.

that is not racist. it implies something that could be racist about tv/media coverage, but its not racist. not worth a banning. at least not without a warning, which i dont think would be unreasonable.

I don't know about banning, but who else here is from the South? This is definitely racist, the 'Black' term is code.

Maybe it was this statement, while not racist, that got you in trouble?

how exactly is it racist?

i can see how it would be said by someone racist, but i dont see anything overtly racist in it.

What's wrong with this statement? It's true. Unfortunate, but true.

"Another high profile Black gets off."

Why should the defendant's race have anything to do with anything? "Another rich Hollywood freak gets off" would probably be more accurate.

Try substituting the 'n' word for 'Black' here, see if it sounds racist.

Anyway, I don't think it was worth banning an account. I said in another thread I favor self-policing. The denizens of the board will shout down anybody they find highly objectionable.

Even if that's me /images/graemlins/grin.gif

It isn't racist one bit. You could try and make a case that the OP was implying something racist but considering his post in this thread its obvious that he wasn't.
