And still your previous response gives an impression that it is not. Listen, I know you think that, and I know Nepsotic is not racist, yet somehow he is getting all the bashing instead of you folks (well, technically not anymore) doing the same thing in opposite direction. I don't really understand and approve of that situation.


It appears as a boring argument, but as I look at the topic it's not really focused on what it's supposed to be focused on.

It all reminds me of a situation when I got labeled as a hater for focusing on NnT flaws, rarely saying about it's pros. I did acknowledge it had really great things in it, as I said frequently, but decided to say more about its flaws because they disturbed me deeply.

I got bashed a lot then. Mac didn't, though he's doing the same thing now. Why?
No one is advocating violence, I'm simply making a statement on the fringe issue that Charlie Hebdo published a lot of what I think is truly hateful content and people should be aware of that before they start turning these guys into Martyrs.
The point is that hate speech in the name of freedom of expression is bad, violence as a response is much, much worse and the propagation of hateful ideas in general (including those taught by portions of the Islamic faith) is at the root of all this horror. That's what I'm saying. I am not saying what happened was warranted or just. I'm just saying that injustice can fall on the heads of bigots and it's up to everyone to prevent it both the bigotry and the violence.

I didn't get bashed because I put things in an entertaining and hopefully informative way.
