She was a very "silent" member of the Silent majority at that time. Pretty much like some of the clubs you and I are in together. Some chat and some lurk. But I am sure she has done some reading and lurking in this very forum before she ever posted. Most people do that. She has a right to alert things same as everyone else please support her right to do that. I know you are probably of a split mind on this issue. But please welcome her and lets stop this TSM vs Everyone else feud. She had a legitimate complaint.

How is that even relevant?
They used your complaints to attack BWA and call them racists. Do you think racism is an accusation that can be made lightly?

Originally posted by cashthetrashNo, she didn't. She made an ignorant, ill-informed accusation that another user had a "racist" avatar.

How many of the RN faction are begging the mods to close the thread now that they have been thoroughly shown up as being in the wrong? 😕

1. I defended the legitimacy of her complaint. If you go back to the original thread, you'll see me defending her. On the grounds that many people would not recognize the avatar as Kunta Kinte and so would misinterpret it.
2. You'd also see me defending BWA members from blanket accusations of racism. Sushill, in particular, has not done a single thing to indicate that he might be possibly one. I don't think racism is an accusation to be done lightly.
3. The main instigator of these blanket accusations was Red Night. You can also see that in that thread. Knowing his obsession about BWA, I wouldn't be surprised that there was a thread about them in the club. Elamef37 could be influenced by reading only his opinion. She admitted knowing 'about' them beforehand, so now I don't know why she isn't willing to admit that might have played a part.
Originally posted by no1marauderShe didn't call him racist. She said that an avatar about a black man in chains was offensive and racist in nature. These are important differences.
Yes, she does. From page 1 of the "inappropriate" thread:
