HUH? Did I miss something here? When Swedish become an ethnicity/race?

I don't think racism is against the rules here. We have all sorts of Nazis and white supremacists and every manner of racially bigoted kook imaginable on this forum.

It's too late at night over here to come up with a funny answer, and I've just used up all my creativity doing my income tax, so I'll stick to the obvious: it's not racist, it's, er, nationalist. "Swedish" isn't a race.

If you meant your query seriously, though, it's been said before: mods are players, too. Would you have complained about any other player for a mild remark like that? They're both big enough to look after themselves and the spat's evidently over. (Can't remember when I last saw Fass use a smiley.)

Strangely, if someone took a sarcastic jab at me because I'm an American who constantly talks about how certain other countries are awful and mine is really good, I'd consider it a sarcastic jab commenting on my behavior, not racism against me.

You're kidding, right? After all the jabs Fass and I took at each other, THAT'S the one you pick to report?

Good grief.

Incidentally, why didn't you choose to post this under your main nation?

What mods usually seem to say in this situation is "that seems to have blown over and they've settled it themselves."

Lock it, Kat. ;)

From what I've seen in NSG, white supremacists appear to be in the minority here. It appears to me that most of the posters in NSG are of the liberal persuasion, and, in many (though not all) cases, politically correct bigots.

And not all of the "kooks" are white supremacists/xenophobic/"old fashioned"/anti-Muslim/anti-gay, or otherwise of the conservative extreme; some are anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-straight, conservative-hating LEFT-wing bigots.

And no, I am NOT trying to imply that Katganistan is of either extreme. I am trying to imply that Fassitude is of either (i.e. the LEFT) extreme.

Lock it, Kat!
Nah, leave it open for all those unfortunate nations who don't have the Melbourne Cup to watch ... :D good luck, fellow Ozs.

EDIT: I am never gambling again ... until next year.
