Free speech is one thing, but I am appalled.

What does that mean, exactly? Can he say these things or not? Does he have to consider whether you would be appalled, or, conversely, must you consider his feelings when you express yourself?

Oh, right, oops. ::sulk::

Cordially,
Rush

I've never posted here but I'm sulking now because nobody but Es and I stood up to a guy - BrainSmasheR - who said it was too bad he wasn't the head of the KKK - or maybe that he wishes that he just got a free coffee mug from the racist hood-wearing freak (message 301552). I'm also sulking because it seems to be okay - judging by lack of community response - that a proud racist is allowed to run free here in this community, gladly spouting his predudice against African-Americans. Free speech is one thing, but I am appalled. Here's the language he defends as not being racist
Makes me sick.

Minus away or show a solidarity against racist attitudes by giving this post a plus. It's a way to show your feelings and stay anonymous.

Jim, that was old news. It was brought up last year when we fought a$$masher off the boards. There are just some morons that just don't learn. We've taken a different tactic this year, such as my post in the shunned thread about him. I have no idea if he responded or not, he's a racist/liar/moron and will say anything to make himself look good, which, this time around, is even more futile than last year. I will not talk at/with/to him. I will talk through/around/behind/over him. What he does and the things he says is NOT ok for these fora or his blog. I am in full agreement with you on that moron....

Jim - I agree with your view, but this is the first time I saw any mention of this!

When I saw BrainSmasher's first series of posts he cam across as a 14 year old and went straight on my PLONK list, in the filter. His choice of a handle illustrates this enormous immaturity!

I am with you on discrimination needs to be sorted, especially in public venues.

I am sulking wih you on this point!



Me too Jim.

He's on ignore and I don't bother to see what he's saying. But take a plus from me.

Hey TROLLBOY! Why don't you just STFU and go away? And while you're at it, why don't you start doing some contributing by way of crunching as that credit of 88,355 has been stuck at that number for an awfully long time. And why is that RAC stuck at 51 too. Seems something shady is going on there too. [edit]Now I know why your comps are hidden.[/edit] I don't sulk but jerks like you really get me pissed.

PS: The only place you belong is in Beethoven's home for the shunned.


Ooooh I'm feeling soooo threatened by that 33 RAC. Is that the best you can come up with?


No IDIOT TROLLBOY it's like 300 RAC out of one XP2400 that works on 6 projects. I see you have no explanation for what I asked of your numbers. You're just too chickenshit to answer anything truthfully.

I don't see that you asked a question about my crunching. You made a number of uninformed statements and personal attacks. Since you only referenced my SETI RAC, I responded in a like manner with your SETI RAC of 33.

Alas, this is par for the course in the UN. The entire purpose of the organization appears to be bitching about the US and/or Israel.

I know it's not politically feasible, but the best course of action seems to be for the US to completely withdraw from the UN, evict the bureacrats from New York City, and bring all US troops home from UN peacekeeping missions. There are other multinational organizations that can handle each of the UN's functions.

Let the UN sulk at all of the lost revenue and resources.

Amen, Octagon. At worst the UN is impotent. At best it's an enabler of some of the most heinous criminal regimes in history responsible for systematic genocides, rapes, murders, executions without trial, and slavery. The more subtle and scary observation of them makes the astute observer realize that the UN gives a veneer of credibility to these thug regimes by their inclusion in its membership. Putting relatively free nations in seats next to the murderous ones makes them seem equally respectable and legitimate in the eyes of many.

Everyone should get out of their chair more, not just look out the window, but go out as well. Breathe some fresh air, feel the sun. All this sulking isn't good for you. It'll make you a depressed chair potato. There's enough of those around already (albeit called different), so don't become one!

Read the question in BOLD font moron! As for your FWIW it clearly shows a RAC of 0(ZERO) and it shows you haven't crunched SETI for at least 10 months.

So anything you say rates a big fat ZERO too.

And this too... PLONK!

To start with, a question requires a "?" (FYI - that's called a question mark).

As for why it's stuck at 51 ? <SHRUG>. You'll have to ask the BOINCrs about that. Just another sloppy way of doing business.
