Not for racist online comments but

Continuing the discussion from Racist fracking aficionado fired after video posted to YouTube:

(for any perusing the thread, you’ll note that pretty much every comment I made clearly specified the harassment of other individuals and not just ‘unpopular opinions’, just to avoid that slippery slope.)

The fun thing about text forums is history and stuff.

Then don’t post things on a public forum that it’s possible somebody else would disagree with. You’re making this really hard on yourself.

I mean, dude, you can disagree all you want…and heck, sometimes you’re right or I end up coming around (and I’ve said so), but this whole ‘RAWR! I’m angry and right and will cling to this opinion and belittle anybody who disagrees’ bit gets kind of old. It’s not like you don’t bring up other people in conversation here (in deliberately disparaging ways, I might add), so let’s not try to stake out the moral high ground.

Seriously though, just chill out. If you can’t handle being disagreed with then you’re going to have a bad time.
