Echoing this. Pretty much the exact same sentiment. Well said. I can’t support this decision and will be spending a lot less time on this site as a result. Weird decision making @Clutch
So to be clear, we are left to assume that the precedent has been set that "hate speech" earns a 2 week temporary ban. Or as KevC is saying. That depends on who you are. hate speech noun Legal Definition of hate speech : speech that is intended to insult, offend, or intimidate a person because of some trait (as race, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, or disability)
And a decent society would expect that the person begging for a second chance would show legitimate remorse and not take shots at someone else in his apology.
It's just the way our society is Do you really believe you'll face the same repercussion at your job if you call someone a "r****d" as opposed to the N word?
Yeah if I called his special needs child a “r****d” and say that he deserves to have said “r****d” child for being bad at his job. I’m gonna guess I’d get fired real quick at a place with any kind of decency.
If the person being referred to actually had a mental condition such as form of autism, I 100% would expect they would face the same fate.
if a person didn't have a disabled kid and was called a "r****d" the worse that would happen is maybe a talk with the boss. Saying the N word is an instant firing.
After reading many of his posts, I wouldn’t be surprised if @Bobbythegreat was affiliated with those Neo Nazis AtomWaffen. They are based out of Houston and have their strongest division in Texas. He spouts many of their same talking points. If he is allowed to continue here, this board may come under FBI surveillance. Especially once Trump is out and a president comes in who doesn’t take funding away from right wing terrorism watch groups.
A double standard does exist. It's too bad it does and I commend you for trying to raise awareness. As for BTG I've never said he doesn't deserve to be punished for what he said I just thought a permanent ban was little too harsh especially for someone who posts here that often.
You’re talking to yourself then. We’re all very much talking about what Bobby did and how disgusting it is for @Clutch to let him back.
Some of these guys are still on the training course in the mental gymnastic olympics. Bobby is not smart enough or well educated enough to actually pose much of a threat. His intelligence ends where San Jac junior college introductory logic classes begin. His candor is calculated and his articulation is above average, but his diatribes are always based on deeply-rooted ignorance and bigotry that is understandably hard to breed out of the trailer park. Good try kiddo.
For everyone's sake stay out of the Bobby topic. No one can stop you from being attached to Bobby and wanting him to stay, but it looks disgusting how you wiggle your way around this thread and post bullsh** pseudo excuses to preserve your right-wing buddy who made the probably most disgusting post in CF history and doesn't regret one bit of it. At least have the decency to do that.
