If *i* was a GM, I would look at chat logs etc., and the first time they said anything remotely anti-Semitic, I'd disband the guild and IP ban every single one of them, but that's me, and I could understand not having the time to deal with that.

why do you need evidence that its intent was anti-semitic? this isn't a court of law, it's an emulated everquest server. it's best to err on the side of caution.

lol, applying the word holocaust to specifically the Jew people is a fucking insult. It's like when I say the word black and you think i'm talkin about some african slave bunny from the south picking cotton. No you dumb fuck, I was referring the the crayon.

Political correctness is a sham for those who are afraid to define things as they are; a method used to completely circumvent feeling bad about a perceived bigotry. All that shit does is cause polarization.
Black people are African American while white people are White? No one says, "caucasian" unless they are trying to inadvertently make people feel bad about the polar opposite.
The word holocaust does NOT belong to the Jews. Sho`ah, HaShoah, Churben, Hurban, and The Holocaust are all words to describe it in various Jewish forms, but it is not a word that BELONGS to an event. Holocaust and The Holocaust are not the same and anyone who thinks they are is part of the problem. Adolf, to this day, is verboten for a child's name in Germany.
I can understand that the words conjure up bad images but how about
all the other people that were named Adolf at the time? How about peoples birthdays on 9/11? How about weddings, anniversaries on 9/11? How about
wanting to sit at the back of the bus in middle school? How about the problems of wage slavery? How about being a custodian or janitor and being called a sanitation engineer? How about a truck driver being called a 'freight relocation specialist?' Words become negative
because people make them that way. Stop attaching emotions to emotionless words.
With all of that said whining and calling the GMs racist is not a good way to get what you want. Derp.
