So if we're going to be consistent here, then actually calling someone a racist and not just insinuating it should in fact be a flame.
That was my understanding.
ALERT. I deleted your first sentence just to make the quote shorter because I am commenting on the second sentence. ALERT

Is this really important? I've been warned before for things I thought were perfectly reasonable on my part. You know what I did? Took it into account and moved on with my life.
I honestly wish racism was banable, but I guess then there would only be like 10 people left, and it would be a full-time job for the mods keeping things in order given this crowd.

He wasn't getting jumped. People use fists and weapons when they're serious. Those kids were sissy slapping him, and he was taking it. They were fucking with him because it was fun and easy. They would have stopped when it got hard or stopped being fun. Seeing one of your friends on the ground bleeding or crying in pain takes the fun out of that kind of shit and makes it terrifying. The driver probably could have scared them off with a stern tone of voice. But if not, one good hit with a bat or a solid punch to the throat would have sent those brats running for help.
I'm failing to see your point. First off, that Uber driver didn't look physically imposing whatsoever. Second, if he just sat there and ate all those slaps, what makes you think he was capable of doing anything you mentioned in your post. Third, have you seen any other worldstar fight videos? If he would've went after one of those kids, the other three would've started punching and kicking him in the head until he was down.
He did look pretty weak, and he may have had some kind of physical disability. If he was disabled, then ya, he had no better options.
If he had reasonable adult strength though, then those kids could have been better managed. My problem with his behavior was that he basically set himself up to be their easy victim. Those kids weren't hardened criminals or anything like that. They were punks who were probably using their parents money to pay the uber driver. You can tell by the way they laugh and record the assault (slapping the dude with one hand and recording it on the phone with the other hand for example) that they are just blow hard punks looking for an easy laugh. If he would have physically asserted himself to the point where he was perceived as a real threat, then they would have backed off, and gone somewhere else to continue their fuckery for the night.
As far as going after one of those kids, I was suggesting that he seriously fuck one of them up and then give the others a chance to fuck off. Most blowhard tough guys like those kids change their mind when the violence gets real. It sort of sets an example for the rest of them when you fuck one of them up real bad. Nobody wants to risk that kind of harm when they're just trying to get drunk and have fun. He should have drawn that line in the sand for them. Even if he was worried about getting jumped by 4 kids, letting them sissy slap him into submission while they laughed was not going to help him escape violence. Fucking one up real bad makes it a three on one with a crazy motherfucker. Attitudes change with the circumstances.

It isn't. He just swore to uphold the rules while arguably breaking them himself, and gave someone a warning for something I don't think is even in the rules.
Racism is a bannable offense by the way, at least from the Pub. People do get banned for it from time to time.
If it were up to me, flaming and trolling would be allowed in the Pub, and Rule #4 wouldn't exist.

Idiot is a pejorative
I think Herbologist is racist. I've seen enough of his posts to come to this conclusion, it's an opinion. What other word should one use to describe someone who is racist? Talk about politically correct bullshit.

I think you're a racist. I've seen enough of your posts to come to this conclusion, and it is an opinion. I don't think you were wrong for voicing your opinion, anymore than I think I am.

I should point out that this was the original comment I was responding to, before everyone gets their panties in a bunch about me calling someone a racist:
Quote:
Koods, you're the most racist person I see posting in all these race related threads. And its hilarious, because you genuinely believe you're the open minded voice of reason. You speak out against racism, all the while being racist as fuck.

In what way is "racist" less of a pejorative or less subjective than "idiot"? There are a lot of people who post here that I can prove are idiots. In very many ways "racist" is far more pejorative in this culture and it is always subjective. I myself have been called a racist many times here but none of the slanderers have been able to actually quote a racist post by me. As far as I know none were banned for it.
Oh boy am I gonna have fun with this. If I were you I would run away.

Here's just a couple highlights. Sorry for the delay. Phone posting is a bitch.
I guess I should also make it clear that I'm not saying you make police killings about race, necessarily, since that was your defense against Herbologist.
what the hell, these aren't highlights! click on the post number on the top of the particular "offending posts" you wish to point out and post THOSE links. the one's you put up are other people's posting not koods.
