Dr. Bob, he was not just putting down two people in a group. He was uneccesarily emphasizing their ethnicity, and also posting offensive stereotypes. I am offended.
I know that Fuzzy mind is in great pain and I, too, want him to be able to get support, but I think limit setting is important. I don't want you to block him, but I do want you to give him some guidelines for posting in a non-racist manner.
If someone had written about individuals from some other ethnic groups, unnecessarily identifying/emphasizing their ethnicity or race, and using offensive stereotypes, I think the inappropriateness would jump off the page and alarm us and you.
Well, I am asking you to take another look at this, because I am offended, and this board is not safe if people are allowed to make racial and ethnic slurs without some intervention. I would not use racial slurs toward any group, even if in the guise of talking about individuals, and I would expect no one else on this board to be allowed to either.
Here are two quotes that caught my eye:
"..2 Jewish assholes..."
"...making lots of money like a greedy jew, was better than my life calling.Sorry, but that is what he is ..a moeny worshipping abusive jew...."
