I think being in a situation where someone else is abusive or offensive, and where there is no moderation is "an offense against" MY "freedom", or atleast not a place i want to spend my time.

Secondly, eskimofriends isn't your property, you don't pay the bandwidth charges, you don't maintain it, and I'm going to hazard a guess that you haven't pitched in with donations. Admin and Wheels pick up the bill on this place, on this website you have no legal or civil right to say anything that breaks the rules they've set. It's their property and as such they have the right to do whatever they want with it. That includes deleting the kind of racist crap that you seem to think is okay. If you wake up in the morning, and someone has spray-painted a swastika on your front door, would painting over it be censorship? Your rationale seems to suggest that it would. Does keeping it there serve a higher moral purpose in defence of the civil right to say whatever you want, is that civil right more valuable then the one that states that people can go about their lives without being afraid of socially acceptable racism?

but to be quite honest, you have convinced me. What you just said really put it in perspective for me. I now see how and why the term should have been taken down. I do want you to know this, I dont think racissm is okay, and I never did. However, my entire life, I have experienced a lack of intellectual freedom to a certain degree, so naturally censorship hits close to home for me. literally. However, after your recent argument (which is the only one that actually made sense) I really do agree and am sorry for being so ignorant in the first place. |

yeah it is nice to see someone open to accept a different view and admit fault, i had a problem with the word Jap from the get go, because the only time i have ever heard that word is when someone is making a racist attack. but i guess its harder for people to see the problem if they have never seen or faced those kind of words from someone who its trying to attack the other person.
but hey, were all friends here, now to share a nice cup of hot chocolate while timee contructs another plan to gain laurens hand in marriage

I can absolutely appreciate how hard it is to admit to having changed your perspective. Kudos on the bravery.
