If that’s your feeling please go as I, for one, won’t miss you. If you prefer to throw tantrums and flounce off rather than discuss, debate or otherwise fight your corner then so be it. I find your racist demeanour very unattractive and I don’t appreciate being called racist by someone who doesn’t know me, or someone who doesn’t appreciate that other people can have a different point of view. Ciao.
I appreciate I’m feeding the troll but your views are simply out dated and irrelevant. This edit of your original post is I presume your way of being more diplomatic, if that’s what you think, you’re wrong.
I enjoyed my time here and much of what is posted is useful and entertaining, but many posters just have outdated views, and aren’t willing to even consider that they might be wrong, which is a large part of why I only check in now and again.
You don’t need to meet someone to know if they are racist.
You can’t hold a different point of view if someone tells you you are being racist. You have offended them.
You are the one who is wrong, not them.
If that’s the person you wish to be, then fine, but don’t expect others to agree, and absolutely do expect others to call you out, and as the world continues to evolve, this will happen more often and you will continue to be left behind.
Ignoring it is not funny, it just demonstrates ignorance.
It’s bullying, and it’s not something people should have to put up with.
Sometimes bullying is welcome, banter if you like, other times it isn’t. The problem is you need a filter. This is a public place with members from different walks. You need to think differently about what you say, why and how you are degrading someone.
Rise above it and learn something new.
This place is a cesspool of privileged middle aged straight, white, cis males, to an extended racism, sexism etc. are expected, but that doesn’t mean it should be accepted.
