bigfish1965 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Someone decided to post a horrendously insulting racial attack on here today. Neither myself nor any of the admins here will tolerate any type of racial comments. You will not be allowed to post here ever again. There is no warning, there is no second chances. If you do it, you are done and if you try and come back under another name I will very quickly report your actions to the Internet Service Provider you are using. They will take your service down in two seconds. If that doesn't work I will ban your IP range. I'd rather lose a few viewers than risk some racist idiot ever coming on this site again. I am deeply embarassed to even have to make this post. I thought we were somehow above this crap. To those who were offended by the post, please accept our sincerest apologies. The comments were in no way indicative of the feelings of this site or (I hope) the vast majority of members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Rick...I read it...shook my head (as it was somewhat directed at me), and replied. Roy saw it as I was posting and it was gone. My reply (which would have been the first) never saw the light of day....that's how quickly it was taken care of. No need to apologize Rick...you guys cant read the minds of the people posting. I knew right away that that post didn't reflect the members of this great board. I do applaud you and the rest of the moderating team....you are all stand up people, who takes care of business quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFR Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Late arrival today, seems like I missed quite a bit, or maybe not. Thanks Rick for taking care of it. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 yeah, I saw it and made a great big reply on why he should not post things like that just to find the thread was gone, as it should be gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 While I missed the post... glad I did, there seems to be quite a few posts recently that have a heavy racial undertone to them. Good job on cleaning it up fellas... perhaps this will pose as a lesson that there are consequences to your actions. So to those few that feel the need to make racist comments in threads heed this as your warning. Good job guys, Gerritt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motv8tr Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hmmmm...think I'm glad I missed that one....I can't believe how on top of things you guys are Rick, good job as always. It's sad that such things still exist in todays age. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyb Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I am amazed at how much racism there is out there still, I used to keep my mouth shut, but now I always speak up when someone makes any kind of racial remark. Zero tolerance around me. Remember...everyone except native Indians are technically 'immigrants'. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just2manylures Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I didn't see the post, but I think your policy is 100% dead on. There is no place for that here. Great job keeping on top of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Row Boat Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 We all got a good thing going here at the generosity of the moderators. Membership to this board should always be considered a privilege. Those that have an intolerable viewpoint, get out of our board, your kind is unwanted here. Now how does it feel ? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snag Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Racism is the purest form of ignorance and stupidity. I'm in an interacial marriage and get to see racists of all colours.

Joey Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I agree Brian. If I see anyone say anything bad about Cliff, I'll personally take them behind the woodshed and lay a whoopin on em!!!!

daisy_girl58 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Gotta love this board! My Daddy had a term to go by.....He said someday you just might be out in the middle of nowhere and you never do know who will help you in a time of need....Can't be choosy then, may never get a second chance!

Bernie Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 As a child one of my best friends was a native. He lived across the street from me. We did a lot of things together and had a lot of fun. I remember his father built a huge slide out of ice and snow for us. What a great family they were. It was a very sad day when his father was transferred to another place. Never in my family was it said anything bad about other races or religion. It doesn't matter where people come from there can be good and bad and has nothing to do with race. There is absolutely no place for racism here at all. Way to go mods!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clampet Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hard to beleive or understand how anyone could possibly say anything negative about ole Cliffy. He is without a doubt one of the nicest people (along his wife, Carol) on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 people it had nothing to do with any one person..it was a b!tch fest on a whole race of people, but he had every right to be offended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 No, it didn't have anything to do with any one person but it IS ironic that when this 'lesser' joined, the first person to welcome him was an "Oriental". We just won't put up with the crap. At least I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
