Anything that walks the 'racism' line is always gonna be a tricky one anyway (as with other 'personal opinion' subjects like paedophilia, sexism etc that may be strongly undesirable etc) - not that i remember you being exactly anti-semitic, but i think you did talk in some broad terms (remember, i pretty much agreed with you - i've got a lot of issues with Israel too). I think the way things work here means opinions like that do need to be toned down in certain areas - and there is a certain muting effect that comes with that - but one of the results is that debate is then possible. The mod set-up does lean towards 'conservative', but there's no exact political or social consensus between 'em. And i still can't remember an example of someone getting banned for their politics alone. There's always been some unnecessary accusations and insults thrown in aswell. The thing this site seems to demand is just that if you're gonna make big claims you've gotta back em up, and keep your cool as much as possible while doing it. Having said that tho, Yods and the others admit they make mistakes. And they keep any deleted arguments on file it seems. Which is cool - coz i do like to know why people get banned too (See Django, we get to watch the watchers. Isn't it cool ) Yeah sure you can call me Spidey. It is afterall my first and only other major username on this forum. but I am definitly not django, and I never was as stupid as he was to fight EVERYONE. I'll admit I did alot of israel bashing and i still hate the country more than i hate anyone person, including hitler. That happens to be a personal opinion and I am actually not a racist person at all. I have told yoda after he banned me that some of my best friends were not only jewish, but sons and daughters of parliment members in Israel. I am allowed to hate the country and wish death upon its government all I want, and as you can see I've done a good job of restricting those beliefs from enetering this forum like they used to. I do remember you agreed with me on alot of points, which is why I didnt feel as bad when I got banned, I felt like i was forcefully saying what only a few here believe in. Anyways I do agree with you that certain topics have to be watered down so as not to offend anyone. This is afterall a forum open to everyone., whether they be anti semetist, anti muslim, paedophiles, sexist, whatever.
