    ^Should this discussion be moved to a separate thread?


    You'd have to jump to a great many hoops to cast racial preservation in a non-racist light, and the argument's a sandcastle anyway. The inanity of viewing skin colour as a homogenized group even if only in the looks department, the objectification of some physical traits as better or somehow a lost cause if miscegenation would occur, the mix-up of culture and ethnicity....

     So I go to sleep and I'm apparently not banned any more now.

    This is pretty weird. I did not expect this to happen. I also get no explanation for my unban.

    Shrug. I don't know.

    I'm not sure if that's supposed to do anything, you've probably sworn off TVT forever after this incident.
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    There was a huge ruckus raised on Post Your Random Thoughts while you were gone. The mods probably realized how poorly it reflected on them that an ordinary pissed off person got a worse punishment than a white supremacist.
  • MrWMrW
    I'm thinking that the Mods thought they were making themselves look bad by doing such a thing, and thus quietly unbanned you. Of course, they probably had no knowledge that you had given up TV Tropes after that incident, but oh well.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    As far as I know, only Fast Eddie can do (or undo) the can't-see-site thing. I'd guess he's calmed down.
  • CrimsonCrimson

    Oh really? Has he reverted the LP page vandalism?
  • MrWMrW
    ^-checks-

    Nope.
  • AHRAHR
    That's a good thing, then. I know that people are still going to use it as an excuse for drama, but really, this isn't exactly an iron clad tyrany if they're willing to fix their mistakes.
  • MrWMrW
    Well, Bobby G gave an answer.

    I didn't explain it to Anne because I wasn't certain myself at the time. I'd better go tell her.

    Eddie didn't even know who she was or understand why people were upset. He saw her complaining that she couldn't follow links from SA to terrible posts on this site, and assumed she was a goon who'd come over to start shit.

    So, to put it simply, this was one hell of a misunderstanding.
  • AHRAHR
    I'm glad it was just that. It makes sense, if a bit of an overreaction. It was a mistake, and it was reverted. No harm no foul.
  • RaddRadd
    Except for the whole immature linking thing which we shouldn't pretend isn't still a thing. Also, sign me up too.

    Preserving race is not necessarily a racist concept, but it becomes one when it involves the preservation of only one race and essentially throwing others at the wayside.

    The difference is, no sane civilisation submits itself to extinction as
    the West is doing by opening its borders to the third world    , accepting a
    postmodernist view of race and culture with deference to alien values,
    or by allowing foreign peoples and difference equal rights to compete
    with the indigenous people.

    No-one but the elite and naive left voted for mass immigration from
    foreign cultures and very different races. It has been foisted upon
    European civilisation both in Europe and in the Anglosphere.

    Something Shichi said.

    Think about the implications of this statement.

    I'll be back in a bit.  In the meantime, downloading awesome Nanoha fanart.

    The thread is cool as it is, can we keep racewank out of it?

    Are those words directly from Shichi?

    Because...that's a little extreme
  • AnneBeecheAnneBeeche

  • CrimsonCrimson

    So...what about this PM conversation thing?
  • captainbrasscaptainbrass

    Yeah, please can we stay on-topic and have the race debate in another thread? (If we must - it rivals religion and gender for flami-ness). This might even give Schichi himself a chance to contribute if he wants, rather than have us debate him.


    Glad to hear than Anne appears to have been un-banned. The fact that FE didn't know who she was says volumes about the level of attention he pays to the forum on his own site.

  • AnneBeecheAnneBeeche
    I stand on Grendel's shoulders
    I think I'm going to keep it around.

    Just because I was unbanned does not mean the story of Fast Eddie's general incompetence as a site admin is over.

    ^^If it's still continuing, can I be added? (I know this is the second time I've asked.)

    ^There is a huge difference between not knowing, and permabanning someone without checking the context on the pretense that the person is a troll.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    edited 2011-10-23 11:46:51
    Anyhow, unless one of the thumped posts says something that can be taken the wrong way, Fast Eddie ultimately assumed that since someone was saying something critical of TV Tropes that relates to SA, that person must be a goon up to causing problems. That's a problem in itself.

    Edit: Grammar.

    I'm just saying that FE jumped directly into the harshest administrative action he could deliver without doing a little background check/research on the issue and considering said issue from all sides.

    In contrast, it took the man with a naked little girl being molested by slugs as an avatar (Signed) and Shichi a very long time before they were finally called out on their shit and banned, but not before they've already sprinkled their views all over the site.
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss
    They were all some iteration of "what-is-wrong-with-tv-tropes/what-sa-has-noticed-about-what's-wrong-with-tv-tropes/how-poorly-tv-tropes-is-dealing-with-what-sa-has-noticed-about-what's-wrong-with-tv-tropes." That's hardly the sentiment of an outsider.
  • AHRAHR

    Oh, is that what the avatar was?

    Judging by the reaction of Madass Alex's porny avatars, I think it had to do with the fact it's kind of hard to tell what it is.
  • AnneBeecheAnneBeeche
    I stand on Grendel's shoulders
    The fact that the picture's difficult to see might be the entire reason why he lasted so long with it.

    It wasn't entirely because he had a picture of a naked little girl being molested by slugs as an avatar. I remember him voicing pedophilic views and some other extreme views that condoned the killing of other people.
