I am a little rusty people, is that blatant racism itself or what ? Or is that just a fucking douchebag thing to say ? Puting a sarcasm shroud around that doesnt detract from the sentiments it portrays. Like I said I am not sure.
@everyone


It's both racism and douchebag. I guess we should call it doucheism.

Can't be hobbled. Can't be Siftquisitioned. So now you are instabanned.
This is the result of your blatant trolling racist comment on a video concerning the murder of a child:

So how exactly does this work? Do we contact you first? Instaban and then contact you? Instaban and then wait for blankfist to blog about it? How are we supposed to deal with non-starred members (who can't be hobbled), who are long-term members (so they're apparently allowed to be blatantly racist once in a while), when they violate the "rules" regarding hate speech here?

In reply to this comment by dag:
It's definitely racist and against the guidelines. If BK was a "P" it would be grounds for instant banishment - however, I think we should give longstanding members either a temporary suspension or warning depending on the infraction - before permanent banishment. In this case, I think a warning is in order, which I'm going to rescind BK's banishment to. Thanks.

Cheers, looking forward to more subtle racism in the future. Maybe we can break out the "spook" jokes. Those were good for a laugh.

Ironically, I would have called a siftquisition, so the community could decide. But no, the community thought that siftquisitions were a bad idea.

All I can say is, if I see another comment like "And you wonder why blacks are still called niggers" I will instaban that shit every time I see it. So if that's a problem, might as well ban me right now.

Well fuck all that. I'm sorry, yeah I really am pretty pissed off about this ..

He couldn't be hobbled because he wasn't starred. That's how it works. Maybe he should have participated in the community and actually sifted videos here if he wanted the privilege of being hobbled. So no, there doesn't need to be any conversation for me to ban a non-starred member who can not be hobbled when he throws down blatantly racist speech in comments.

I have never enjoyed bobknight's comments. I don't like his politics. I don't like his point of view. And he has a right to say them.
But not that. I thought it was a horrible thing to write. Horribly racist. Not just bad taste horrible. Sick to my stomach, this is unacceptable horrible. I don't want to ever look at it horrible.
I was glad to see he had been banned. Not for the multitude of things he has written, but just that one.
Having said all that....
I hadn't realized he had been permanently banned. That I'm not comfortable with. Hobbling so he can't comment? Sure. But even that shouldn't be permanent.
Not without a conversation. There has to be a conversation.
@burdturgler, you know that I support you. However, there needs to be a conversation. Unless there has been conversation in the past? Was it ever said explicitly "Say it again, you are out, no reprieve"?
I know you are angry. However, that doesn't give you license to lash out in your anger when you feel hurt. That ain't cool. I know it has been a bad day for you -- I have seen evidence of that in a couple of different places. I'm not saying you shouldn't be angry. I'm not telling you to have a tougher skin. I think that is bullshit. However, it isn't cool to hurt others when you have been hurt. It just isn't.
I have one more thing to say, but I want it to be all by itself.

I'm sorry I pulled the maceo vid. Me being pissed off for what you're doing is no excuse, it was petty of me, you're right. That's all I can say. I'm re-uploading it to dailymotion. If you want the embed let me know.
