The person provided a link to a webpage that discussed a certain red-shirted neo-nazi/white-supremacist/extreme-right group.  As I said, I want no part of that.

I can understand that.

I think I did it... and I was just teasing. It was what Google spew when I typed "red shirts".
Anyway, learning history is never a bad thing.

*looks at some of my red clothing*

People must have been smoking crack to equate a red shirt to Nazi's , WTF is wrong with people.

This is one my favourite tshirts but I could never show a picture of me wearing it as it's racism :jester:

Yes, careful analysis clearly reveals a pro-nazi message here. That checks out...

What about all religious or political symbols, with no deference shown toward any?

But how will we mock them?

I completely understand the level of burnout with this thread. I have felt the same, rested, then here I am again.

Ferris, I think you add a lot to this forum. I missed you when you were gone. I wish for you patience to hang in there through the rough times.

I observe that many folks here have objected to Alex's rules and I have to agree with them. I would hope Alex would turn this task over to us: Ferris, Tem, Bender, Kortie, Drake, Fnord, Funeral, LG, Amity, MissLizard, everyone. The discussion can be by group emails, or it could even be on zoom.

I hate that everything is split into right and left. We are people here, with complex needs, wants, levels of understanding, etc. If people on the Right feel they are not being heard, we should hear them. Brictoria has pointed out that in order to have a discussion of the issues, we have to talk about the specifics and not just trade epithets with each other.

An actual discussion of issues, problems and solutions would be wonderful.

But I would settle for just some politeness and a cessation of name calling.

Thank you, all.

I think some of the people on your list Blaze have said all they can :wall: . If Alex is steadfast in his commitment , there is little to be done.

If you ask me I think he's overcompensating for something :jester:

^ not to mean that I agree with racism although clearly I am der Fuhrer

I only know the 16-type by heart. The 24-type I still need a reference for. But thank you :)

"Bottom of the barrel" is where most would stop, but that's where Ferris starts digging. :lol:

What the f**k! You are living in cloud cuckoo land mate. Are you alright , are you having a meltdown or something , are you having mental health issues , I appreciate it's hard for people in showbiz at the moment and even harder if you are falsely accused of racism (i.e you will not get work ) .

Words like racist , pedophile , rapist , murderer can destroy peoples lives if they are falsely accused of it.

These words cannot be bandied around lightly.

I'm am not happy that you believe you are judge and jury on this matter ( your site , your definitions ) .

What else are you planning to redefine in the future to let toxic behaviour continue

My new avatar is an anti- trump logo as you believe all people who vote for Trump are white supremacist , but if you think I'm a racist for using it , you better ban me.

The Younger Futhark? What inspired you to learn about the Norse pantheon and their language? :D

spergy obsession type thing, mostly. plus the old stories are pretty funny, and there are lot's of runestones around here to read, so that's pretty cool.
