There's a difference between calling someone stupid, and calling someone a racist. What you wrote was, as Neut said, flame bait.
You took what some people believe in, and said that who ever believes in it is stupid. I see none of that in the other topic.

Well, I think that some liberals would take more offence at being called racist than stupid, so thats debatable.

Actually, thats not what he said. He said if you don't believe these things then you're stupid. He wasn't flaming the racists, it was a satire of a flame on the non-racists. And, also, do you think that racists really believe the things he wrote? (much like the non racists didn't believe the things in the other thread?)

I remember a thread called "How to kill a liberal" or something. I retaliated with "Ways to kill a conservative". They were both locked.

The racists one is allowed because it's a debate. Whether you agree with it or not, the subject is open for debate (helped by the fact the initial post is well written and intelligent, even if I DON'T agree with it)... YOUR post on the other hand, DIDN'T promote debate, was just likely to start epople slagging each oterh off (hence flame bait.) It probably could have got locked for spam too!
You didn't get a warning, so I'd just try and get over it.

Exactly.
