This thread, is obviously aimed at me, he is calling me a racist moron and saying people ought to forgive the "racist moron" it sounds so sweet, but I don't want their pity, their love, and I certainly don't want their forgiveness. I want peace, to be left in relative peace, alone, in peace, not bothered.


The whole topic of discusion seems to be "VE is a racist moron, should we forgive him."

Firstly, it openly states they think I'm a moron in the title (flame). Secondly, it implies I've done something I need them to forgive me for (bait).

And these are the same people who say only God can forgive and only God is fit to judge, judging and mocking me.

Reading it, the author doesn't specify any particular individual in the title. He does label racists as "morons" which is questionable, but in my opinion forgivable. If it walks like a duck....

The gray area begins when he references a specific post elsewhere. In that post, VoteEarly is quoted, but is not the author of the post. I'm not sure exactly who is the target of the discussion, and I'm not at all certain he isn't just using it as an example of whether or not the people under discussion can or need forgiveness. All I can say I'm glad it isn't my job to decide if this is flame or flamebait. It seems to me that folks who object to it are perhaps feeling a might sensitive.

Far more polite than I could have said it. Everybody is allowed to carry their own opinion, if that means people think 'racialists' suck, so be it. Deal with it, its a big world.
