I'm confused, a certain mod punish me, for the second time, for my opinions, which were racist, whilst I claimed it wasn't before hand, and afterwards exclaimed why he wasn't.
Fair enough some may say, but isn't that against what the internet's all about, speaking out, I was sure there were no sydney lebs on the forums, and I think I said no offence aswell, and if not, I meant to, I mean, why are we now being punnished for our opinions, when we're not directly flaiming a user?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think generally certain users are over doing it with the negative points, I mean, they're not a less severe way of infracting someone, and it's not warning anyway, hell, if I kept up what I had done to get negative points, I wouldn't have got infracted if I kept it at the same level I reckon.

I think you're thinking about this in the wrong way, just imagine a offline situation for a second.
A guy runs up the street screaming and wearing a placard saying 'Kill the (insert ethnic minority here)'. Surely you have less respect for a man who does that than a man who just walks up the street normally, maybe helping an old lady across the road and with less respect surely in your eyes his reputations decreased.
My point is that a reputation decrease isn't a punishment, simply a rationally expressed opinion against you because people believe your opinion for whatever reason lowers your credibility for objectivity, politeness, non-generalization etc etc.
The moral of this story: Don't express controversial/flawed opinions and expect people to love you for it.
