    And I'll leave you with this: I don't have a problem with free speech. I believe in it too. But Fightbeat isn't a free state. We have rules for our speech, because here, it's all there is.

    I always believe that the best way to defeat bigotry was to face it head on. Not to throw it away. That gives it credence.

    We might have to agree to disagree, Tam...

    All good, mate. No harm done here, if its not done there.

    I wasn't really disagreeing or agreeing with you. I was just finding the thread for you.

    I'm in agreement with this, in fact those that defend OC are the ones who keep fueling him to go in the way he does. He likes the attention he gets and being known as the guy who lives by no rules. I've seen guys like this come and go and they always go because they get banned. They always get trapped being the tough guy who can't tone himself down because everyone expects him to act out. Like Tam says, the guy should have been banned long ago.


    The rule doesn't state "don't use racism unless you don't really mean it or you are too ignorant to know better." The rule states "don't use racism." OC was warned several times for his behavior.

    I started out really liking him as he was witty and funny, but lately I've personally disliked his constant racial references to the point where I wouldn't even respond to him. It's a shame too because he had so much potential to be one the more popular posters until he fell into the toughguy trap that eventually led to his vacation. There's no way he won't get himself permanetely removed and when he does, I won't miss him.

    MTF, I was just thinking what a great contribution you yourself make to this board and I hope your sticking up for OC will be the only slight I'll see of you in my eyes in the future.

    This racist finger pointing clique shit, is more disgusting than any racist innuendo OC posted. MTF is not defending him, gtfoh.

    You forgot to add an emoticon. Now your post just looks like everyone elses. How are people going to know it's you?

    I ain't part of no fucking clique, but just because YOU like someone doesn't mean YOU should be sticking up for them when they're wrong. Man I swear some of you guys will stick up for people when they break any rule, Gee Money comes to mind.

    You say we're a racist finger pointing clique well you must be part of the every mod is wrong clique. I swear it must be funny that nearly every moderator who does his job is eventually called a powermonger who is ruining the boards all the while while defending obvious rule breakers like OC. Then like Cupey says, you guys run them off the boards and then cry that you miss them when they're gone.

    This stuff is just typical "fight the power!!!" rubbish.

    I agree with alot of what you have to say though.

    Now I'm sticking up for him :laughing: (just for Tam)

    I never stuck up for geemoney, no one else in this thread did either, what are you going on about now :notallthere:

    Your "rage" is a clear sign I hit the nail on the head :popcorn:

    Of course you do because you can't read :slap:

    Well the post you wrote after the post I wrote sounded like it was directed against what I just wrote. After rereading it, I don't really see how it could unless you were being sarcastic which isn't always easy to figure when you're reading it.

    Anyway TD you know you and me are cool so it's nothing.

    By the way though, there was a thread made a while back where a couple people were saying to bring him back and they missed him. I think I have it saved somewhere as I've started saving my own threads since this site dumps them every 6 months.

    Actually just about every post of mine is sarcastic usually, or agenda driven.....I was just making Tam do a few tricks for me :lol:

    They definately need to get the thread deleting fixed. I'm sure in the future when they play 6 degrees to OC, I will be included in it with no proof to back it up :lol: That's why I need these smilies, it would have worked well if I used it when I posted earlier huh? :slap:

    I accept that I am more lenient and tolerant than most. As I said somewhere else in this thread, I may not agree with what is being said, but I will always defend a person's right to say it.

    That'll be the liberal in me :lol:

    But I take your point, just as I do Tam's and everyone else's. Rules ARE rules, sure. I didn't say that OC shouldn't have been banned (it was coming as soon as he started his posts), I just think the length of it was harsh.

    That is my opinion and that is all it is. You have your's and you are equally entitled to it.

    Peace bro.

    Here's my last post regarding this bullshit. I actually think I've given the dude way too much of my time as it is. But yes I'm glad he got banned. And I don't think that 3 months was long enough. Hell I don't even give my 6,5, and year old as many chances as he got. Also it ain't like his racist shit just started yesterday on fightbeat. He was even a racist on secondsout and was banned from there for his racist talk and that was atleast 5-6 years ago. So the dude has an obvious problem that only he can fix. Fightbeat is prolly one of the best boxing websites out there and we don't need his kind. I'm gone from this thread. I'll Holla 5000

    Could yu take him Dawgg? I picture him with glasses and Buddy said he has a falsetto voice, I would imagine that upon initial contact his glasses would fly no matter what.

    Isn't Dawg a big, gridiron playing, athletic dude?

    If so, I'd probably lay no more than evens on him emerging victorious. Those guys are some big blokes... :lol:

    He, and Reed would have some deliciously racial flavoured debates, and I'm honestly greatful for every one that I were able to catch,.. I still often treat myself to little snippets, whispering random memorable quips such as "Das da one, das da one"... or ,... "You want white man's sig space" :laughing: the recipricated material was precious and I really want some more [​IMG], Reed no longer has his nemessis, :nono: he can say whatever he likes but I know there is a part of him that is sadenned:nono: !!!.... I doubt either were particularly offended, I got the impression rather that there was an overbearing element of fun to it, mutually endearing, in a slightly peverse way.
