Is this forum American?
It is run primarily by Americans, yes, so we follow American laws. But of course, we have users from all over the world, so we often find ourselves explaining the concept of hate speech since many users are from countries where it is legally forbidden.

And, you realize of course, that hate speech varies greatly because the definition is quite subjective depending on what country you are in. In this forum, we only delete the strongest sorts of "hate speech" that call for violence against particular groups. We also look at flame bait, but often err on the side of free speech since we think the free exchange of ideas is more valuable than a heavily moderated forum.

Sounds pretty clear cut to me, Wind.

I find it ironic that you haven't seen that post before since you posted no fewer than 10 times last night complaining about THAT SPECIFIC QUOTE being in my signature.

In fact, I remember that Lackluster pointed out the dichotomy of you complaining so loudly about me reposting it in my signature and saying nothing about the actual murders of young women, you said, "I don't care." Would you like me to find a link?

Oh, I see. You consider his comments hate speech. Hate speech is ok on this forum as long as it doesn't target a specific poster?

And it warrants becoming the signature that YOU are known by?

I am scratching my head.

Did you ask Sunni what that post was about? Was he being sarcastic?

Did anyone ask me WHY I said I don't care? I said I don't care because I was addressing another issue and wanted to stay on task.

Why are we still talking about this?

Last time, I checked she had removed that sig. I still don't understand what you're saying. Care to spell it out.
