RealGM

I'm a little confused earlier in the day I was warned for making a joke about Slovenia on the OT Board (countless other posters have done so in the past) but regardless of what I meant or didn't mean posts like the following one have ran rampant for months at a time without anything ever being done about them:

Rasho Brezec wrote:I want a black girl. I should go to Sierra Leone or somewhere poor where they have good genes and low life standards so she'll be impressed by a small Slavic country.

So I was just curious are we allowed to make racist comments on the off-topic board?

It is one thing to take a post out of context and say it is racism like you have done in this case and it is another thing to continually try to bait me by making snide remarks about my country like you have done several times.

He bring up a good point, why do we have to be subjected to everything I open up Realgm smilies. Can a poster get a :canada: up in here?

I don't see any warnings on your account for that. And I went through all of them...

I probably should have specified but it was not a formal warning, but an edit to my posts and a quasi-warning / recommendation that I stop making posts in the vain of the Slovenian ones.

WHICH I am fine with doing IF the same standard applies to other posters...

Regardless something has to be done about these racist posts that are being made.

Someone needs to look up 'racist' in the dictionary.

rac·ism
   /ˈreɪsɪzəm/ Show Spelled[rey-siz-uhm] Show IPA

Answer me modboy, I don't pay you my good money to have you google things!

PS: Howie, users should be able to send messages to multiple moderators at once. I tried to invite all of the Raptors mods to my new "Date with a dog" website, but I can only send it to one at a time. I feel like Stanford is really missing out, solely because his name is near the end of the alphabet. Please consider letting users send multiple recipients a PM, it would add value exponentially.*


*Note: My post would have been as effective without the last dependent clause, however, as a show of good faith, I included it so that you can finally read a message where the longest word isn't "moderators"

Edit- Wes thankfully you bailed too. I feel bad, but I am feeling terribly tonight.

Post script edit: I think that it is a tribute to the majority of the posters here that we are able to have many heated discussion in one of the more racially charged sports, without resorting to feces throwing.

NetsForce is really struggling these days.

It's funny, because when posters who feel like RealGM has some hidden agenda against them come to the Feedback board to complain, they are usually banned within a few weeks.

I can see your inevitable ban coming real soon. It's all good doe myan, all ghetto posters go to poster heaven wit da real gs.

Did you miss the part where he singled out "BLACK" GIRLS?

I have no idea who you are.

Is it racist? Not really. Is it in poor taste? Absolutely.

I'm still working. Next time for sure.

Addressing the various topics here...

NetsForce: I edited the posts but, as mentioned, did not issue a warning. Rasho Brezec was clearly very upset. I think the Slovenia jokes are beginning to overstay their welcome and that any in that vein are probably best avoided at this point.

I looked at Rasho's post about Sierra Leone and will keep things like that in mind.

TWZ/Wes: "bailed" is an understatement. That said, playoffs are approaching.

Is it still okay to slam Canadians and their bag milk? It's my only joy in life.

Yeah, go nuts. I was referring to the more provocative comments anyway.

Between this terrible post, and wearing a bulls jersey this week, I have little respect for you.*

*Note: only one of the above clauses is true

I ended up not wearing it, so what does that leave?

Not at all. Did you miss the part where he doesn't assume that his race is superior or show intolerance of black girls?

Let me give you a bit of advice...give this one up. You can't win.
