    I was banned for a week for this comment on the story of an Irish girl murdered in Tokyo.
    "Regarding the girl, my condolences. Questions must be asked though, why did she have two blacks in her apartment in the first place??"

    Apparently "black" is a racist term nowadays. I must not have gotten the memo. I politely PM'd the moderator biko asking for an explanation of the ban and he dismissively snapped
    ban stays. Use DRP process
    .

    I asked the logical question how did these two suspected murderers get into the victim's apartment: did they break in or were they invited? A small minority of people are far too sensitive these days and our censoring our speech and therefore our thoughts.

    I'm open to hear explanations of how exactly my comment was racist and how you would phrase my very valid question of how the murderers got into the victim's apartment.

    I'm not even going to entertain this. If you can't understand - after six forum bans in eighty posts - what was offensive about your post, you might want to strongly consider not bothering to post again.
