Racist/Sexist/Whatever... :-@

from WinCustomize Forums
I'd really like to know what the policy is here on the Forum... I've seen a fairly nasty "sexist" remark regarding a "nice WB skin", and I've left an appropriate reply. I only wonder if it had been me and said... "Dont be so damn black!! .... Dont be so damn jewish!!.... Dont be so damn muslim!!.... Dont be so damn asian!!.... Dont be so damn straight!! .... I wonder how long my lifespan would be here?

I am a gay man... a proud one too,... but to see such comments such as "Dont be so damn gay!!"... it really makes me wonder... Dean

Dean....link to the offending comment would be nice.

As for 'tolerance' the answer is ZERO.

One 'pet hate' is the asinine use of 'gay' as a derogatory adjective, stemming from childish youth 'kulcha'.

Some will argue it is an evolution of English. I see it as a kid's attempt to be clever at other's expense and it is NOT tolerated.

The comment can/will be removed, and its author too, if necessary.

Wincustomize.com strives to be a 'family site', free of puerile comments that are discriminatory to any degree...

Where did that happen ? I normally think that admins and mods here are quite strict/responsible
about that sort of attitudes and delete or exile serious attempts to attack minorities.

Comments like that are usually intercepted quickly by one of the admins, and depending on how long ago it was posted it should disappear very soon.

I have also had a bad comment on one of my submissions, which was removed very quickly indeed, I would ignore it and allow the admins to sort it out.

If this comment was directed toward you personally, then inform an admin immediately

I think, the quick and similar reactions to the thread will also show, how most members here think about that matter.

A very poor choice of description indeed!

Unfortunately, the world is filled with petty ignoramus' who's command of the English language is seriously lacking.

I never thought to raise it before, but seeing this thread, someone might like to clean up the comments on this wallpaper of mine https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=14629

....(the lible can be ignored as they didn't substantiate it so I'm assuming they've withdrawn it!)

Sheesh.. I just read thru a few threads... so many people have forgotten that these wonderful artworks (like em or not) are handed to us on a platter, we have the cream of the crop here at WinCustomize, there should be no personal likes/dislikes, but praise or constructive ideas for those that have given their time, effort and skill in giving us a wonderful GUI.

Them that can 'do' .... them that can't become self appointed 'critics'!
As for the 'gay' remark .... ill manners and ignorance often go together.

Well, that make four different Aussies in the one thread... somewhat of a record?

Ta jafo...after the chat in the other thread about censorship I feel a little hypocritical now, but since the board moderators/owners wish this to be a family site, I feel I've done my duty bringing the infringement to your attention
