Quote from: ""FunkyChild""this is all fine and dandy, it's okay that y'all are pissed, i'm not saying that daryl is the best guy to grace the earth, but if you're mad at him, criticize his actions and not his skin color. how hard is that?
I don't disagree, however, I didn't create the content. Somebody came to me saying "hey.. this parody site on hla I made got a request to be taken down... do you have room on your server"... I checked it over with the relavant people who said "sure" and it's now hosted with us. I haven't even had time to review the whole site.
look. The ACLU defended neo-nazis rights to free speech.. it doesn't mean they approve. The person who made the HLA site is now doing another one for Aspen. He realized he went a bit overboard with the HLA thing (his words, not mine) and has decided to make the other less of a "shock-site" as HLA.info was intended to be.
I know the guy personally and know that he is not racist. He meant it as over the top satire and if it came out as racism..
Look.. there is a certain internet subculture that finds entertainment in over that type of over the top humor... Often people who aren't familiar with that subculture are offended because they mis-interpret what was intended to be funny..
See an article on jews written by jews here:
http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Jew
Or an article written on blacks by the one of the Sysops on the site (sheneequa)
It's a different culture, and completely different humor (geeky, with subtle subtext).
You defend the racism and anti-Semitism shit sites and speech, but you don’t seem to care if someone like thewho gets booted for flooding because you don’t agree with his position. I know the guy and he isn’t the ass hole everyone thinks, although he is one most of the times. We don’t get along on most issues but he stands behind what he believes and is outspoken. According to him he was banned without any warning and doesn’t believe he was flooding. His posts were deleted and altered, by moderators (which we all now know to be true). Even though it was stated previously that they didn’t have the capability or authority without leaving an edit trail.
Thewho replied to the ban via email and never got a response or a reason for being banned. It is obvious, to the regulars, why he cannot post here anymore and no one is fighting the “freedom of speechâ€
