As the mod team thinks "I was considering talking about how I'm racist against black people but decided against it" is a minor offense when compared against telling racists to go fuck themselves, I'm out. Maybe I'll try and make a chatroom for people who don't wanna have to put up with racists like RMB but I'm not staying. Ban me. Don't ban me. I don't care.

I try not to be an angry person and I'm so much less angry than I used to be but this is such fucking bullshit and you fuckers should be disgusted with yourselves.

Like, here's RMB putting the reason he never takes systemic racism and racial oppression in the US seriously for you on a silver fucking platter. That's (part of) why he shitposts every discussion where the problems of the Straight White Man aren't top priority.

And you said this took prior warnings into account? Yes, because of Shiney's long history of needing to be warned and temp banned and RMBs immaculate history of never doing anything wrong.

Fuck you. I hate causing drama anymore but fuck you. Fuck RMB. Fuck every one of RMB's friends. Fuck anyone who thinks this fucker still deserves a place on this forum.

You're all fucking scum.

H'okay first of all, not even remotely the first time.

Secondly, you want to make it the last time I call out a virulently bigoted, vengeful shitbag out for being a virulently bigoted, vengeful shitbag who walks into every thread one of our members posts in to insult her in language that isn't treating him with more respect than his behavior deserves? That's up to you.

Because banning the person insulting the assholes while the asshole gets a "please try not to be so openly racist, k?" warning is the exact shit that made me step down from modhood. And if that's the climate that you want to continue around here after it's proven time and again to not work and push more people out than it encourages to stay, then 1) you are enabling the behavior of the worst sorts of people and 2) fuck you for doing so.

I'm not leaving until you make me.

I agree. All else aside, RMB's continued harassment of Kim and then blatant racism constantly getting a pass means that I don't feel welcome here. I constantly hear from members of this forum that it's dying. This is why. People like RMB feel welcome. They're kept around even when they do horrible, toxic things and act like toddlers throwing a fit because you told them no. I tried to stick it out because Marc and Kim like so many people on here, but it's not worth putting up with people who get to be directly horrible and get a pass on it over and over again, completely ignoring the effect it has. Now it's losing two female, feminist members because of RMB. I used to like coming here and reading the Dreadful. I never got to post very much because I didn't want RMB to pick a fight and start crap, but I could at least read things mostly. It's not worth it anymore. Everyone has to tiptoe around RMB lest it seem we're "baiting" him. Fuck this. I'm going back to twitter. If you want to stay in touch, message Marc and ask for my twitter handle. Otherwise, bye.

You're not leaving, POS. I'll nail you to the ground first.

That's cool, but keeping me should be less of a concern than keeping the people who are leaving because they no longer feel safe here. And as long as you're willing to let people like RMB slide, that's who you're going to lose.

And they're good people, Matt. They're your friends and your fans.

If this isn't the chief concern then what's the point in having rules or moderators?

Not exactly the time or place, man.

MSperoni · 03-10-2015, 04:11 PM

Well I'm on my phone and in the middle of work so I can only do so much at the moment.

tl;dr mistakes happen but they can be rectified

This particular chapter in our sordid history is closed. Whether or not Kim comes back...um, again...will remain to be seen, but let it be known that minds can be changed and decisions made in the heat of the moment should not be considered permanent or lasting. Please recognize that the mods search for "perfect world" solutions even when they are impossible, and that they are human and will fail but do the best job possible to make up for those failures.
