    Bodyman posted a bunch of racist shit that he said.

    Ones where he labeled a whole demographic of people (Yup, white people) as some negative shit.

    As you know @PtldPlatypus

    That’s racist.

    I'm not going to comb through the thread to find an old post that you make a vague reference to. Bring it to my attention specifically and I'll address it specifically.

    I'm also not going to go back through every thread in which people have made inflammatory race-related posts and address/edit them all. I don't have that kind of time. I've acknowledged that a lot of race-baiting on both sides has been overlooked in the past, and said that I'm moving on and trying to address things more effectively going forward. I'm requesting that you be willing to do the same and not live in the past.

    If you see something that you believe to be racist or inflammatory, let me know. If I see something you post that I feel is racist or inflammatory, I'll let you know. That seems like a reasonable balance to me.

    I'll have to disagree. Pointing out racism is NOT "race baiting".

    And "race baiting" is a term invented by people who want to deflect.

    I suspect we may have differing definitions of the term. I'm not going to get into the semantics thereof.

    How could anyone fall for that? The terrible grammatical farce in which it is written gives me a migraine. I understand English is not the guys first language but ouch. And $16.5 mill wow. Sadly, there are people who do fall for it like old ladies who get bilked out of their life savings. Messed up shit and there is nothing that can be done. I got one of those and I replied that I fowarded it to the FBI and left it at that.

    I asked you to look a thread containing racist bullshit.

    You looked and said, most of it wasn’t racist.

    So is that the past or the present?

    Preemptively calling people racist before they speak seems awfully similar to shop owners following black teens around their stores.

    Your Racist post in 3,2,1...was in a thread about an earthquake in Mexico for fucks sake.

    Depends on the purpose of the inquiry. If you're looking for clarification on what I'll take issue with, present. If you're looking for me to say, "you're right--that guy said something racist that one time," past.

    I would say the two examples you gave would probably be something I would address if it were brought to my attention. If someone posts something of that nature going forward, feel free to let me know.

    @Nate,

    It was me who asked @PtldPlatypus to reach out to you in private because I saw your post and didn't have time to talk to you about it. If that has upset, offended, or insulted you that is completely my fault and I apologize.

    When it comes to many things in this forum, whether it be insults, race, etc. things will be missed or not agreed upon. It's never going to be fair or perfect, but that's not for a lack of trying. I know it's not mine or ptldplaty's intention to lecture you or say you've done something wrong. We're just asking everyone to stop picking the race scab for a while. We've covered it. We've argued about it. We've gone round and round. Can we please just stop?

    He likes to pick tho.

    It's why he keeps posting bullshit like:

    #wakandaforeverr

    He could stop that any time...

    I’m not insulted, I just don’t like double standards.

    But it seems like picking at this scab has made a little progress. Time will tell.

    That's one way to look at it. Another way could be that I preempted a racist comment from ever being made.

    Saving the forum from racism one thread at a time. You're welcome.
