NoDrama: I will re-quote for you as you forgot to quote me.
"He's hell bent for leather on racism. I respect that. I respect his wish for everyone to be treated equally. As I have black relatives, believe in treating people equally and am a fair man, yes, I appreciate what he does here. If racists have their little hate party upset, too bad.''
Where did I endorse behaviour you take exception to? "...I appreciate what he does here..." doesn't mean i endorse EVERYTHING he does here.
That's what i said. please re-read this and let's discuss it. With complete civility. I will drop all sarcasm. I'm not here to hurt anyone's feeling though I could take a joke too far. If I do, feel free to let me know and I will discuss it with you. Civilly.
I take exception to name calling. It is counter-productive and unfair to people to do so. If I cross that line hammer me for it, by all means. I cannot control Buck nor is it my job. Let's be clear here, we would all probably feel better if there were less insults and name-calling right? Having said that, if anyone can cite someone else's racism then, by definition, aren't they a racist? If that were the case, then it is a little different than one guy calling another an 'idiot' right?
I will happily work with you, or anyone else, to make RIU the best that it can be. Will you? You can take potshots at me all day and it may appear "really easy to do". Is that your goal? Or will you join me and others to improve the situation? The choice is yours.
You haven't proven my hypocrisy because there isn't any but you're free to continue.
