ralis Posted February 6, 2013 Racism and Homophobia have had a regular overlooking here. What about religious prejudice? Some 'bodhisattva's' here continue to slam other religions claiming that it is justified in the spirit of 'truth'... What would be done if someone started preaching that phrenology assessments that 'prove' that the black man is more subservient than the white man were also justified, when done in the spirit of 'science'?? Vmarco started a thread on the right wing prejudice against LGBT's over on the off topic area. Last night this was posted which clearly demonstrates a singling out against gay persons. Further, this post claims to be scientific fact. Some of the links are from fundamentalist groups. There are a few other posts of this nature in the thread. Clearly posts such as these fail to mention that STD's do not discriminate but can infect anyone. http://thetaobums.com/topic/23142-right-wing-war-against-lgbts/page-2#entry400695 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted February 6, 2013 Can we stick to the subject matter as opposed to summer sausage and custard. Well, sure. But no one was saying anything and the thread died. So two of us members had a side conversation. Perhaps someone will wish to speak to the topic soon. If not, it can be classified as a dead thread. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandmasterP Posted February 6, 2013 Custard etc, like squirrels is bang on topic as the topic is, in part; just how far some topics stray from the OP. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ralis Posted February 7, 2013 Was the post reported? The thread in question is worse than last night. There is clear prejudice on the part of the poster. I haven't reported it at this time given that I have no confidence in the mod's to take appropriate action. http://thetaobums.com/topic/23142-right-wing-war-against-lgbts/page-3#entry401158 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you find if insulting you can, as that is what reporting is for. I've not read the thread so I've no idea what's going on in there. I was just wondering, since Ralis is (often/usually ?) unhappy with moderator action(s) and specifically unhappy about inaction in this case if he had brought this post to anyone's attention ... or just posted here that he was unhappy about no-action. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
