You don't think racism is 'offensive', 'despicable', 'controversial', 'sickening', 'soul-crushing', or a 'stark, ugly truth' about our society, our culture, the Internet, and the world? Well then.
You're dancing around the point. Those words can describe racism, but they can also describe millions of other negative items such as bestiality, child ****ography, terrorist attacks, etc. Besides, no one is going to read that description and think, "Oh offensive and soul crushing? Yay, I can be racist here".
I can't believe you're trying to justify being racist on here.
I did my job by reporting him in order to protect ATRL, but no one cared.
I personally didn't have anything to do with this one at all, but our records show that member was actually warned appropriately for that post and then banned shortly after.
I don't see what makes a racist insult so much worse than any other kind of insult
Were people enslaved, beaten, raped, murdered, and denied basic rights for eons all because they happened to "fat" or "ugly" or *insert common insult here*?
No I agree with you. Being the cool gay uncle could be fun. It's like, as a close but distant relative, you get to see all the best parts of the kid and none of the worst.

My point is that NHB does not specifically allow racism, sexism, homophobia, whatever, but it doesn't specifically disallow it in the way that the rest of the site does either.
For the millionth or so time, it's SO OBVIOUSLY WRONG for members to post racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. comments in NHB, but if we're going to say that those members can still be warned and banned for such things even if they do it in NHB, then, well... NHB shouldn't exist at all.
I don't see anyone being enslaved, beaten, raped, murdered, and denied basic rights in NHB
That's not the point.
You claimed not to see how a racist insult was any worse than a regular insult. Can you say that obesity, not being atheistically pleasing to the eyes, or any other form of a "regular insult" denied you basic rights, put you into slavery, etc etc?
No you cannot, but concerning racist insults you can, so that obviously makes a racist insult much worse than a so called regular insult.
You're comparing me calling someone fat AFTER they attacked me FIRST to racism?
Nobody here is racist?
And that wasn't even in NHB. I did my job by reporting him in order to protect ATRL, but no one cared. I could post plenty of other examples from others members as well, but I'm not in the mood, and y'all aren't going to ruin my Sunday night.
OK P_Cahleb_M is racist. But once again, that's a clash of cultures; he's not from the US and he wouldn't understand.
