Unlock the Mewa thread

As much as I understand why Lanz would close the thread, I just hope it doesn't leave to more of that kind of stuff.

No problem this one time, given the thread content, but please don't make it a habit.

Let the posters police themselves, even with the worst kind of racism.

Mewa would have gotten destroyed in that thread.

Apparently you're under the impression that posting in the GR precludes posting in the RR? What ever gave you that idea?

Aside from what I've said in this thread, can you link to any post in which I've done anything of the kind?

You should know by now I don't play your games.

I hate thread closings, BUT that thread was heading for a bad, bad place. So... maybe it IS better off locked.

And here I've been trying to humor you in yours. Never any reciprocity.

No you were trying to stir up shit, but only succeeded in failing.

Well, it's grammatical, but you're missing a comma. And "succeeded in failing" has a nice oxymoronic ring to it.

And I see you've attracted a fan.

So you can tolerate Starguard, but you can't tolerate that stupid thread?

Starguard and baba get boxed now if they get out of control. And the thread ignore feature makes them disappear entirely.

So far the only controversy stirred up is . . . well, does everyone saying "This will stir up controversy, we are doomed to suffer another horribly overlong thread" count?

Sorry A[rchangel],

I was negging Urkel and blocking for you and the computer hung up I accidentally negged you just before running out of rep. I'll drop two pos' on you tomorrow morning.

I don't care, other than to point out it's hypocritical.

I just glide over Starguard's threads like they're not even there.

Uhm.. is that about that thread where Mewa says I am a one-armed stinky East Indian?

If that is the case I am not sure why it was banned. Surely racism hasn't been a big factor in the RedRoom and I personally didn't find it offensive. Hell, racism barely ever offends me, but whether it offends me or not (or anyone in the RedRoom) shouldn't be a factor.

Now it's obviously completely Lanzman's call. It's his board and his rules. But I wonder why he found that thread offensive when my own rep comments and other comments to him has been absolutely the worst of the worst.

No, the racism was being directed at Mewa. Apparently he's still been around long enough he's afforded some level of protection for his actions.

Would it be ok to call Mewa a "stinky two armed West Indian?"

Not in the Help Desk it wouldn't, no.

Could he call Megatron a "stink one armed east indian" here?
