    At least 8 Users Temp Banned for Out of Control Racial Thread

    AIYEEE! Geez dudes...

    There's a ton of stuff going on... we will be sorting things out. I'll need to have the other mods look at that thread and decide on how we will follow up on it. For now there are 8 people on temp ban.

    Sorry.

    I really didnt think that thread would get THAT out of hand. It was my intention to explore differing points of view on our US war.

    My fault, I accept my punishment. I will not post at all for the time ban allotted.

    This is my formal apology to AO.

    Farewell for now! Butters is going to AO Jail!

                This is ThePatriot on my brother's computer, this will be my only post under my brother's name, do not worry, i accept my punishment. I, however do not apologize to AO, i still whole heartedly believe what i said.

                Now, for a brief synopsis(if the mods think its to in depth of whatever, just edit the post, DO NOT BAN THIS NAME, my brother doesnt deserve it. Now, Butterfingers posted something asking Arman about his views on the war on terror, and instantly Arman was getting attacked by AO'ers, but he said some horrible things about Jews and how great Hitler is, i will not even repeat, the thread turned into one gigantic flame war, some names of people who are banned are i would guess, Patriot(me), Dude, Heat(maybe), Arman(maybe) wingfx(maybe the name im not sure) and some others....perhaps the mods will post the names of those banned. I will assure you some of them are long time AO'ers, who were quite aware of the rules, but what was said deserved to be responded to, perhaps not in the manner it was, but it definetely needed to be responded to.

                And Miscue, im sure if someone came on here flaming the crap out of Asians, you wouldnt just say, oh, it has no point on this board lets ignore it...It is a lot different when you are on the receiving end.

                    I know...

                    I hate hearing about a thread being closed and people being banned but we never know whats happening, and mods tell us, dont do this, dont do that, we never get to see what they do to not do it, jeesh.
                    You smell like dookie... No really though.

                      If arman or anyone was promoting hitler and being racist towards jews/asians/europeans/arabs, (I'm 50/50 german/irish and catholic for the record), whatever, they deserves more then a 5 day temporary ban.....good thing I didn't read that thread or I'd be banned now too (not for talking racist)....no one needs to make general statements about anything someone was born into...my opinion that's a much bigger offense then the guys posting offensive music lyrics in the friendly forum.....Personally I think this was a long time coming I've always thought that Arman's sig "Insert Hitler Dancing Here" was offensive and I'm 50% German......

                      *I don't claim to know what happened but it seems to me that if people got 5 day bans for posting popular song lyrics with swears, then promoting Hitler and/or racism/racist comments deserves a much bigger penalty like perma-ban....just my .02*

                        I am not German or Jewish so I guess I'm neutral in this topic. I have not ever really liked that in his sig, but I've never said anything about it.

                          Ok, I was following the thread and I was disgusted at how the first reply DERIBERATELY flamed :user name here: when Butterfingers asked NOT TO FLAME :user name here:.

                          I thought it would have been a good thread with reasonable views on both sides but I guess some people on AO need to be more open minded. I know that :user name here:'s signature was offensive but Butterfingers wanted to talk with :user name here: about an issue on which he hasn't heard one side of the story from.

                          I think it was really stupid that people just rushed in at the chance to bash :user name here: because of something in his sig.
