I explained that before but you found a way later in the tread to also imply racist views which couldn't be further from the truth.

I wasn't justifying my comment, I was simply explaining what I mixed up.
Nor have I ever implied that you have racist views.

How much of that was based on the implication you personally threw, we'll never know, but it's false and a low way of disagreeing with someone (to throw such a lie out). I don't have a face that someone can attribute this to, but my username will be tarnished in many posters eyes as a result of your actions. Furthermore as I've previously stated, I'm a visible minority, which shouldn't mean anything, but in this context it's a real kick in the face to imply multiple times I'm a racist, when I'm affiliated with the very groups you're not so subtly accusing me of hating. I've never posted anything hateful, have always posted from a point of view of a discussion, and always will respect others views. I know this isn't an endearing post, but when someone implies it twice (a mod nonetheless), and looks for the justification, it reflects poorly. Other mods have never done the same to their credit. It doesn't matter anymore if this sours my reputation with the mods, I just think it was a distasteful thing to paint someone as something that they are not, and I'm tired of it.

Again I'm not accusing you of being a racist or a bigot and I never have. I was trying to understand your objections to people calling out or objecting to these things and your views that society is becoming too sensitive about things. I honestly don't understand what your points are b/c previously you had stated that they needed to find a way to keep things fresh and find a new stance. Here they have done that, and you are objecting to it again. As is your right. And that doesn't mean you are racist. Nor did I say it did. I just disagree with your position on the various forms of protest.
But I admit and agree I could have handled it better. And I apologize for that. And furthermore I agree that Crown Royal's post in that thread was way over the line. I don't know if I saw it that night or not, but it should have been deleted and I will do that now.
