It was never really a good thread to begin with, GE. Let's be honest here.

Speak for yourself, pal.
You don't find his application of the most pure form of online narcissism somehow compelling?
Honestly, and just between you and I, I seriously worry about his mental health.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Sorry, your posts just remind me of a deeply hysterical male hairdresser for some reason.

I guess you're just naturally a bit shreeky.

My bad.
So the male hairdresser is another fear of yours mixed in with the coloured people.

Let me guess, you are also somewhat afraid of dominant women and chose to marry the submissive stereotypical type?

Racism? How?

Care to explain? I just assumed that seeing as you are a bigot, and afraid of males in a female dominated industry that youd be afraid of the opposite also and the dominant woman.

That's not racism last time I checked..

Imaginary internet points?

This coming from the bloke who boasted about his racist scammer rubbish and then posted it for all and sundry on said internet forum.

Don't pick a fight you can't win, Jeff
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.
