Nahnahnah nothing happened. No racist urls, just generally quite abrasive. I shall miss the frankness, though.
Not sure if it really counts as trolling honestly

Scrolling back though, looks like some stuff was purged. Did the offensive words thing happen here and get wiped? I forget.

Yeah there was a debate on whether using racist slurs could be done academically a while back, that has been purged

I think the precedent set is at least censor it if you're gonna do it academically, or don't say it at all
I guess it joins the list of things like Catalonian independence that is Bay12's can of worms to not be discussed

I wonder if it's his use of the words, or the way he was a asshole about it when called on it. To be honest, I think the way he used the word originally was perfectly fine. Just the way he reacted to people being angry at him wasn't so good. The fact that it's flaming/trolling listed as the reason and not bigoted language makes me think it's the latter and not the former.

Why not? Talking about people who were banned is not against the forum rules. It's a bad idea if it's likely to bring up bad feelings or an argument again. However, currently everyone except you is managing to be calm about it.

Just take a chill pill and extend your relaxed state mate. Life is copacetic.

So this person who I loved the videos of... Is STILL Being paid a lot of money to produce videos... that they don't make anymore.

And at first I was REALLY pissed at this person... but now I am just staring incredulously.

They aren't doing anything and the fanbase is TOTALLY fine with that and funding anyway.

At this point it isn't even false advertisement or lying... The person is clearly willing to sit on their butt and do the base minimum... and people will throw money.

You do realize this whole thing happened like... 20 minutes ago, yes? That the thread was locked and 109 posts deleted? Err on the side of caution, brother.

What are we being cautious of? Starting another argument? If that's the case, we might as well all log out and go home. Too much much bad joujou on the internet to never argue with people.

You all are so silly paranoid over talking about banned people for no reason. You do remember the time there was literally an open campaign to get GreatWyrmGold unbanned, right?

You are literally trying to bunker down and not discuss a non-threat, we're not even on a forum where the owner comes down and bans people for talking about bans. It's like cowering in fear from a European social democrat because they might send you to an extermination camp for talking shit about them.

But OW, I am home.

EDIT: Anyway, actual WTF: While on the bus earlier today I passed an evangelical church (ok, I passed way too many, but this one stood out) whose logo is "the jews are the source of the truth". Um... are you sure you're actually christians?
