I'm curious as to where the line is on bigotry here is, as I saw someone get a month ban the other day for saying what can basically be summed up as "the Jewish identity is predicated on genocide and exploitation" here, which I agree is a repulsive comment. However, I've reported this bigoted comment shortly after it was made:

....the arab identity is predicated on genocide and exploitation.

Yet it seems that was deemed unworthy of a any such vacation. So, does the rules against bigoted comments depend their length, what ethnic group they are directed towards, or by what standard is one worth a month ban and the other excused?

As usual you are one to complain about Bigotry.....
As usual the example that you just now gave, did not cause a vacation to be given out for bigotry IMO but more for the incessant use of the word Genocide......we all know what that means when using it against a jew or in a discussion about jews.

You only run over to these forums when you are getting your head handed to you in a paper basket....

Remember your thread concerning the Towers??
You ran over here to cry about somebody .....

Shalom!!

As usual your opinion has no basis in reaity, as in the example I gave of the guy who got banned, he didn't actaully use the term "gennocide" even once.

Remember your thread concerning the Towers?
Again with your are demonstrating your detachment from reality; that thread was not about the Towers, but rather WTC 7.

You reported the posts. The mods who responded see a vast difference between the post that got the vacation and these. Making this thread isn't going to change that. If you want to dispute what he presented as facts to back up his assertions, go ahead. I'm a proud American and I wouldn't see it as bigotry if someone said "the American nation was, in many ways founded upon genocide and exploitation. Explorers and settlers wiped out virtually the entire indigenous population in order to acquire the land." I might not like it. I might be uncomfortable with it. I might disagree and present an argument, but it's not the same as spewing epithets. Not even close.
