THE ONLY MAC & CHEESE THREAD v.1

I'm not sure what the OP is referring to, but I do have to say that racism or other forms of hate have no place here (or anywhere, for that matter). Yes, it is fine for people to have differences of opinion - that's just life. Discussions are great, and context is everything. But hate talk is not acceptable.

I've got pretty thick skin

 

and I was personally offended by none of the words or comments that prompted the thread

 

what irks me most is the arbitrary double standard of what is and what is not 'offensive/censored' here

 

imo this arbitrary line is childish and silly, and though 99% of this forum - and my time here - is spent passively and enjoyably, sometimes that 1% needs a voice

 

I'm thankful this place allows that

 

I've vented, everyone's moved on - the company line shall remain arbitrary, childish and silly

How about instead of complaining about the way this forum is run you go and start your own Rush forum and run it the way you think a forum should be ran. While you are setting it up you may feel free to ask me any questions you like and I will help you as best I can. When you have it all ready to go, come back here and tell everyone that you're open for business. Let everyone decide for themselves and if your way really is better then soon your forum will be outperforming this one. I promise you I am not being a smartass at all, I am 100% serious.

a moment's inequity here certainly doesn't require such extreme action

 

I know the double standards will continue here, but the more members that know that's how administration runs the ship, the better chance things have for refinement and progress

 

knowledge is power

Is there a particular thread that seems to be the source of all this angst?

I just saw this, sheesh. Talking about making an issue out of a non-issue.

yeah but see, folks, there's at least five more years of this general hypocrisy from the administration that you weren't even around for

 

without that perspective, I understand your opinions

The Rush Forum is this beautiful historic mansion that has a thousand stories to tell ...

 

The SPAM Thread is one slate in the backyard of that mansion that, when lifted, exposes a teeming group of insects that are living underneath ..

 

The mansion is still wonderful

your ignorance fits right in here :)

 

You've got something against insects ?

yes

informal poll

 

how many members here are ok with racist and profane hypocrisy at TRF

 

specifically:

 

 

expletive descriptions of female body parts = not allowed

racial slurs against dark-skinned people = not allowed

 

expletive descriptions of defecation = totally acceptable

racial slurs against light-skinned people = totally acceptable

 

thoughts?

 

I can't say that I've seen many descriptions of defecation and/or racial slurs against white skinned people. (Slurs against stupid people or stupid in general, plenty.) Maybe I'm in different threads, which is OK since I don't really want to see a lot of that stuff. Is there a specific post or thread that is bothering you, ghostworks?

I'd like to acknowledge that the example that prompted this thread is a concentrated isolated series of posts, but the broader hypocrisy has been at work here for over seven years
