In truth, you must know Vuk that I personally despise Stalin and Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Mugabe, and any number of trumped up dictator bullies who caused mass death, and it offends me to see anyone giving them a pass. I personally find it revolting and sickening beyond belief.

However, when praises for these evil men are sung, the people singing those praises can be scrutinized. I want the KKK and NAMBLA and all those other people who believe that sick twisted stuff to come forward and identify themselves, so I can ignore them, and so I can figure out who they are and stay far away from them, and at the same time, publicly decry their behavior and shun them.

I do suggest the easiest solution in cases like this is to ignore said person. If what they said was that offensive (and as an American, I was very much personally offended) then perhaps this is a person you don't want to speak to. And if they wanted their voice heard, they should not post things which they know would offend most English-speaking people on here. I don't go to a Japanese website and start decrying all the Japanese evils of World War II, because its in the past, and its rude to keep hounding a people who aren't responsible for that. As such, people who hate the United States or England or Australia or whatever may not want to post here, and if they do, they should expect to be ignored for their one-sided attack.

Anywho; I wanted you to know I agree with your sentiment, but I am not enough of a fan of censorship to call for anything but a personal ignore in that case.

If it were just a little bit more malicious, I'd agree with you. Personally, I think it is ignorant to hold such powerfully hateful feelings towards nations which have stood up for human rights and freedoms for centuries, but people are unfortunately allowed to be ignorant.



So, in short, I support what you're saying and how you feel, but I don't believe action should be taken unless the off-topic continues, or if the person in question posted another post which was an offense against entire countries or races.

The Frontroom isn't for politics anyway, and if the moderator sees it, he may in fact have the right to delete said content. I'm borderline on that, but fortunately, it's not my call.
