No, both are bad duh.. but you seriously dont think it is the least bit ironic, that the same community who have been scolded time after time for racist hate speak against any non white person that pops up in the media have happened to have SKIPPED the attack in colorado all together and before the suspects are even really in in san bernadino, are already stringing up Muslims as the culprits and making multiple threads about it, even after having a few of them locked & deleted?

You dont find that the least bit ironic and hypocritical?
I hadn't thought about the lack of discussion about the Planned Parenthood attack. That's a good point, but don't think it represents any form of intentional bias or bigotry. I am sure every poster in OT (feel free to speak up if I misrepresent anyone with this statement) thinks the PP attack was deplorable. I think the greater conversation that falls into is mental health in America and it's relation to gun control (which we discuss a fair bit).

I think we also could agree that if (god forbid) another PP is attacked, it will be by another right-winger. And, it will still be wrong.

If we have another mass shooting it will either be by a deranged white male or a Muslim.
I sincerely hope we don't see either, but especially dread the latter because it represents a new persistent threat already afflicting other parts of the world. We don't need more problems.

The PP attack was tossed out like hot garbage the second a new story with a Muslim sounding name was up for grabs. Even a little whiff of possible Muslim connection sets the mainstream media ablaze. Just business sense for them ratings. I can almost feel the office celebration and good spirits anytime they hallucinate a scent.

It may serve to help open dialogue on the subject, as well as getting more people educated and asking more questions about the other side of the fence. Hopefully.

You guys don't get it. Moderating off topic has become a full time job on its own. I receive petitions and PMs everyday for posts in this subforum. Clean up your posts, or they will be deleted. If the thread is too far gone, it will be deleted and possibly restored once I sift through it and remove what is not inline with the staffs rules.

Yet IRYD's rampant sexism, religious bias and racism goes completely unchecked.

I'd be fine with the moderation if it was at least consistent and fair.

That's because IRYD is the one sending all the PMs to report behavior he doesn't like. None of us normal folk have the inclination to go whining about words that hurt.

I would love to see a log of who is sending the reports and I would be very surprised if IRYD wasn't over 50% of the entirety of them.

Your exactly right. Furthermore to Llandros this is an off topic forum, if the Topic is EQ then an off topic sub forum means we're not talking about EQ. I don't even understand why you would need to moderate this Sub-Forum. If you deleted all of IRUINEDYOURDAY'S posts of hate against white males and Christians how am I supposed to know that idiot even exists, yes he is an idiot. Really all you need to do is post a disclaimer on any posts here, which I'm sure you probably have somewhere anyways, and let "Freedom of Speech" be BOSS instead of catering to whiny little virgins in their mother's basement like IRYD.
