And I'm not okay with jailing people solely based on thoughts or feelings. Now if they are harassing people by espousing those beliefs then so be it. Try to get them in court and in prison. If they touch a child then try it. Until then no.
^I'm also not okay with "horrible people". I only continue to use it because others do and I can't convince them not to.

If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan ChahLike I said earlier, please don't get into this now, Aon. You won't get anywhere, and you'll just get the thread locked.
That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something AwfulOk guys, don't fight.
I don't like unjust bans like this, and I hope it doesn't happen again.
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Sometimes grownups fight.
If people never fought or argued, nothing would happen.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.One of this site's primary principles has always been that how you say things matters more than what you say. There are limits, of course—we actually changed the rules to get rid of a white supremacist who kept saying awful things in a polite way—but I still like how arguments like the ones Aondeug has made in this thread are responded to rationally rather than simply nuked.

Just saying, Eddie has been rather short tempered lately, not that they should be nuked necessarily.

Turns out they were copypasting from Stormfront.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.@Rigo: Not much to say, really. He tends to get called a white supremacist when we bring up the topic, but he explicitly denied being any such thing, and I don't recall him even being a racial separatist (though he was a cultural separatist with a hate-on for Muslims.) His primary asshatery came from good old-fashioned racism—he kept talking about "inherent racial differences," but said he didn't view those differences as a good thing or a bad thing. Anyways, he always acted within the rules, so we just made racism against the rules, and there he went.
Edit: Forgot about the Stormfront thing. That came as a surprise, since he didn't advocate a lot of the stuff they advocate.

Of course that'll probably get replaced by an atmosphere of RAEG when the news fully comes out.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.

@Aon
True, but "horrible people" doesn't necessarily mean in jail.
