An Open Apology

[Barkingturtle]

It's important to understand the terminology associated with various concepts, particularly if we are interested in the pursuit of truly equitable justice. In this vein, the actions of the OP--though immature and gross--were not racist. By definition, racism requires the perpetrator possess some power to affect the lives of the group against whom he is prejudiced. Everquest players, also by definition, obviously have no power. Thus, Everquest players cannot be racist, merely bigoted, stupid and juvenile. Hope this helps you guys in your individual journeys of growth. Namasté.

This does not fit the narrative of "Supreme is racist". Thanks for trying to explain it.

I don't care that you are racist but you sound low class and stupid.

I am the lowest class and the stupidest you could ever know.

Feel better now?

So what's wrong with racism exactly?

[Teppler]

"Being bi-racial in RL i can honestly say that I am not racist nor do I support racism in any form. My actions were my own and i accept responsibility for them and have been paying the price ever since."

What kind of price are you paying?

Reputation.

Are we also going to see an open apology for power tripping, banning people from Taken's voice chat server over a disagreement when you weren't an officer, taking down their forums without even offering them an archive of the content to put on their new forums, etc etc?

When you pay for something with your own money...you own it. When you own it you have authority.

You should get your facts straight about the forums. Taken officers "scorched earth" all the forums of any information before they "left".

I do not apologize for asking Taken to leave. They had 42 apps tagged and were shitting up the place disrupting long time community members that actually contributed to our success.

What's the wiki price for forgiveness and/or compassion?
