You forgot
C. The mods can't possibly police every word of every thread, so not everything gets caught/punished.

FWIW - I think it's pretty clear that MIKEMIKE is joking in that thread, considering he posted those statements in response to NFS4. Perhaps the mods feel the same way.


Oh so racism is ok when its a joke?

I don't think so.

How come you aren't clamoring for NFS4 to be banned as well, then?

Homophobia seems to be ok as a joke reading those threads.

No one ever said I wasn't he should have to answer for what he said too.

Simply disregarding racists jokes as jokes enables the racists and encourages them to spread their views.

What's worse is people laughing at his posts as if he's joking, which he obviously was not. Good riddance.

When I first read the posts calling you out as a racist in this thread, I just dismissed it. I've read hundreds of your posts, and I thought, no way. But the link provided gave plenty of evidence. The attitude of "stick to your own race" is not welcome here, and masking your racism behind humor doesn't make it any less racist.

I'd say your lifer status should save you from a ban, but a vacation might teach to keep those nasty thoughts to yourself.
