I see this topic is not going away so I have to do something about it. First of all, I cannot believe the persecution I'm seeing here. Is it so unreasonable that when talking to a person you've just met and you know nothing about you excercise a LITTLE restraint and try to find out what was meant in what they said rather than jump on their back instantly?
What kind of world do you guys live in, do people go to jail for crossing the street on a red light in your country? Going by your reactions in this thread, IceBlu would have been banned 4 times already for insulting other members. I like the guy but what can I do when he can't control himself? Instead he was suspended once and he's back now because I think giving people second chances is what being human is all about and his contribution here could potentially far outweigh the insults he has made in the past.
The guy you all jumped on what completely unknown to us all and thanks to the first person who accused him of racism and all the others jumping on the bandwagon, he left the moment he got here because he probably thought it's not worth trying to defend yourself against people who won't listen anyway. Finally bianconeri did the right thing and tried to find out what the guy meant in the first place.
Funny thing, I went to see "The Passion of the Christ" last week and biblical history we're all familiar with. The mob mentality of the bible is exactly the one seen here, what happened to innoncent until proven guilty?
Geez, I can't believe you guys...
As for the jokes, that is just classical abuse. People think they are very clever masquerading personal attacks as jokes, they always say "relax, it's just a joke" when in fact it's so much more than that. The message is all too clear.
