It basically had turned into a collection of some of this site's least intelligent posters going to town on each other with a deluge of insults and attacks. And June18 made a kinda racist (or at least ignorant) comment I think should be reviewed by others to see if any real action should be taken.
June18 wrote: it was after dark," she said. "They assumed he was up to no good because he's black. "


I would assume the same thing. How many black people do you know who are out after dark doing something good?

I would have locked it too at least for 24 hours. I am not sure letting it reopen this soon is a good idea.

And to be fair Ender Wiggin has always been an asshole and is just race baiting....

I was wondering about Endor. I've rarely noticed him, but he's seemed a bit dense on the couple posts I recall.

As for letting it re-open, probably a mistake, but I'm a sporting chap. It might remain tolerable or my pleasant warning might fall on deaf ears and some idiot will cross the line into Banzone, Utah: Population Them.

It's obvious he is baiting though.

"I didn't mention race anywhere in this thread or the last"

Uh, dude you opened a thread saying "black"... wtf?!
