I haven't voted yes or no.

Normally I'd say yes, of course remove any racism. But when a couple of girls tried to open my bag on my back in Talbot Street, and I posted a description of them here, I was accused of being racist because they appeared to me to be Romanian.

Believe me, if someone from Foxrock or Finglas or Farranfore tried to dip me I'd be just as certain to post their descriptions here.

What I'm saying: people may be a bit quick on the trigger in labelling a post racist.

On the other hand, racism is probably a worse evil than wrongly labellng a post racist. Hmm. Yeah, I suppose I should vote yes, remove them.

Emos aren't a race as such but that's still a generalisation so you're not as squeaky clean as you think. Personally I don't have much of a problem with generalisations. I'm sure I've probably made some myself as with everyone else but like Karoma said anyone who repeatedly posts racist crap will be banned.

I went through my Emo phase. I know what its like, and more than once the thought will cross your mind until you wake up one day and realize what a tit you are. Which is why I'm happy to say the majority of Emos arent human beings: theyre angsty teenagers in little black cocoons waiting to re-emerge as beautiful butterflies real people. If that fails you get a goth, or a scientologist.

You take my words out of context anyway. In context, you will never hear me speak drivel like "All koreans are idiots."

And as for being Emo: thats a choice you make. You aren't born Emo. And when you are an Emo you aren't always sure you're alive anyway..

Tounge firmly in cheek!
And as has oft been quoted by mods themselve boards is not a democracy, so yes you are our benevolent dictators. For the record I agree with what karoma said.

Also tounge in cheek(But somewhat true in this era of overhyped self rightousness where live and let live is on the downhill):

Unfortunately modern soapboxs are now constucted from sheets of oversensitivtiy and glued together using modern selfrightous polymers thus leading a nauseating effect on people in the vicenity of its user.

Fixed that for you

Well not really. I for one am more than happy to allow some ignorant twat show themselves up by mouthing off their pathetic, ill-informed, profoundly stupid generalisations here, in the knowledge that they'll get lambasted. Most AH users are decent folks. So, like Karoma says, until a thread with racist sentiments in it (there's a difference between that and a "racist thread") becomes utterly ludicrous, it stays open.
This is not a site that has a racist agenda so therefore, when a thread is started expressing racist, offensive sentiments, people will argue against it - in fact most people will. Those who agree usually just come across as dumb and not worth taking seriously anyway. Whereas the more intelligent people will actually post content that's worth reading.

I admit I shouldn't have added that last sentence; I'm sorry. It just seems that the number of threads questioning the virtue of entire nationalities, based on the actions of a few, has seen a marked increase.
On further consideration I have to agree with you on the original point, too.

I voted for freespeech, racist threads can be very amusing too

I am glad that the liberal facists are in the minority on this one!
