I’d buy a shirt that said “COCK A DOODLE DEAL WITH IT”.

Having been there recently, on the very street crazypants complains about, I wonder how many of these “shoulder checks” were imagined. It seemed pretty tame.
I’m going to go ahead and guess “all of them.”

Just to be absolutely clear, I was joking about that. I’m pretty sure you know that, but I don’t want to be labeled as anti-Asian by mistake. ;)
I’m only prejudiced against people from Vermont. Those people will go out of their way to bump into you on a sidewalk for no reason. God help Vancouver if the Vermontians and Asians start mixing it up. The streets will flow with syrup and and various Asian sauces!

God damned asians are everywhere!

That’s pretty much all I do at my job.

Darn, was looking for the Cat thread and saw this was bumped. Sad to see the bannings ('cept Spatzi - was someone in his family killed by an Asian driver?).

Well, if he was on his bike, he maybe had it coming. I mean, riding a bike on the sidewalks on Robson street are a bad idea.

Doubt it. Political Correctness fanatics are too convinced that they’re morally superior and that their obnoxious pillorying is valuable for society. They will never back down and apologize.

And racists will stick together.
Plus they’re all dirty foreigners that don’t speak english!

There are a handful of untenable generalizations to be found, otherwise spatzi provided an entertaining read and seemed seriously pissed. He really only started when you fluffy do-gooders thought you had to jump on him. And then you tag-teamed him again months later, lead by the grandmother of the super-fluffy-do-goodism-club, Mr. Bahirmonon and his shining anti-anti-do-goodism angels.
Hahahaha, of course the fluffy do-gooders club treasurer had also come to chime in sharing his valuable insights:
It actually gets “better” the longer you read:
An outmost surreal thread, thanks god I decided to wade through. I don’t think it gets anymore surreal after the disturbing pic BJB posted in #162 after the explanation spatzi provided in #160.

If the worst thing you can say about this Mr. Bahirmonon is that he’s too hard on racists, then I think he’s doing pretty okay. Though I bet that’s the first time he’s ever been accused of “do-goodism.”

So they made him racist? You’re cute.

Here’s a conundrum; if you oppose anti-anti-do-goodism, does that make you a do-badder, an anti-anti-anti-do-gooderiser, or Lynch a stupid sod?

You can never be too hard on racists but it’s not what you say, but how you say it. I think if anybody had countered the generalizing remarks with just a simple “Seriously, dude?” nobody would have had to be banned in the aftermath of the discussion. The self-proclaimed thread-sheriffs did hurt my intellect more than the, later specified, rage of Mr. spatzi.

I’m not sure you know what that means.
Well, at least there’s some explanation for it!
People weren’t banned for “fall out from that discussion,” the people that were banned were banned for dragging things from one thread into another. A couple people got accidentally included in that, then were quickly unbanned when the mistake was pointed out. But I don’t think the main gist of that first thread was “you shouldn’t be posting this in this thread, go post in the racist thread,” which is what thread police or “thread-sheriffs” would do.
Edited to add: Does this mean there’s some thread police hierarchy? Thread police are trumped by thread sheriffs who answer to thread police commissioners?
Edited again: or I guess sheriff is elected. I missed my chance to vote!
Give me a break. The guy was unhinged and flew into rages over inane minor issues. The Steam thing all by itself was making him froth at the mouth and jump to absolutely ludicrous conclusions about Steam, Far Cry 2, and the nature of how software functions. When people legitimately attempted to help all he did was call them stupid for not assuming he’d tried everything they suggested. Similar behavior was displayed in the Hardware forum where he couldn’t get his shiny new computer working properly. He was pure noise, no signal whatsoever, and however he may have been disposed of, it was worth disposing of him.
Learn to fucking read.
Learn to fucking perceive correctly.
You got it twisted, bro. Nezz isn’t a racist at all. He loves race. In fact, his biggest worry about our culture is deracination. Seriously.
