On monday night i was chatting in guildchat,when someone uses the phrase nigga.Now being the ultra sensitive guy that you all know me to be,i shake my head and watch as someone tells the person who used it )Orcfugger) that it isnt appropriate. Now i am curious so i look and see that orcfugger is an alt of someone who left us for greener pastures,and i think "hrm perhaps i should remind him that racism isnt really guildchat material" His reply was that he has freedom of speech and can say whatever he wants This is unacceptable This needs to be addressed I mentioned this to someone i was told was an officer,but it doesnt appear to have had any affect.If you want to allow racist morons in FA perhaps this isnt the place for me

i logged on in the middle of the argument, so i don't know what exactly happened, but no it is not acceptable.i would hope everyone use common sense and respect their guildmates.

Regardless of freedom of speech, RESPECT goes a far way. The N word is not acceptable in Guild Chat at any time! That is one of the obvious things that is a no-no anywhere not just on the game. Some things that are said in Guild chat are borderline any ways, key thing is to respect fellow guildmates and if you have done something offensive, stand down and face it.

Thank you for your prompt action.Sorry but the whole situation really made me angry,and i got a little emotional i think.Dudepal you are to be commended for addressing this promptly

No need to apologize yo! I think that racism is always an emotional issue for me (see my family picture

). I know that racism hurts no matter what skin color. Whether or not racism was his intention, the N word is racist. You stood up and said something that should have been said, so please do not apologize

The thing is,i realize that you cannot eradicate racism,and i have learned the best way to deal with it is to let the racist be the idiot they are,so everyone can see not only how stupid it is to hate someone based on their race,but just what kind of people are those haters. That way people will decide on their own that said racist fool is someone you not only dont want to be around or be like,but it makes you realize on your own just how ugly that kind of hatred can be. When someone realizes something on their own,i feel its much more effective than me trying to say i know better than you do about someone,since i dont consider myself the right one to instruct anyone. What bothered me the most wasnt that he wanted to be an idiot,but his claim of "free speech" in guildchat.He genuinely thinks he has the right to be repulsive in that forum.I mean,if someone followed his logic,you could speak about child molestation and be exercising free speech. P.S. To me the "N" word isnt so much racist as what your attitude is towards someone of a different race,but then again not being someone who its never been used against,i cant say i would know what its like to be called it
