I thought you and I and some others had some very good debates.... yet I find I'm told to shut the fuck up, pwned, a mod feels the need to call me a fucking tool, another mod tells me he doubts I will ever understand what he says....and so on.
I have shown nothing but respect for others opinions and have not degraded anyone's differing viewpoint and I sure as Hell didn't attack anyone personally now did I?
So why was it ok to attack my viewpoint and attack me personally. None of you know me personally, just my posts.... none of you have ever talked to me in person, sent me IM's back and forth to talk personally to me.... but you can attack me.
Even I pointed out when that I was wrong calling the judge racist and prejudiced, but his action to me was.
A lot has been made over the definition of prejudice..... only one definition was given here's the whole definition....

I would say that this judge's actions met some of those criteria.
Aw well..... I guess some truly just do not want to debate ideas and views and would rather come up with personal attacks and name calling.
It also says a lot on where TFP is headed. Not so long ago when someone attacked a person by telling the to shut the fuck up, or calling them a fucking tool.... would lead to warnings and such.
Instead, now it seems to be acceptable behavior as long as you are a mod or have a couple other mods doing it also.
Ok let's say he wrote fuckin fool.... that is different than tool how? Is it still not an attack?
