No, USMB isn't a hate site!
That's right. It isn't. Far from it. If you ever find yourself on a hate site, you'll know it, Nutz. Stop trying to take away freedom of speech on a board that is supportive of freedom of speech. It's like you've moved into someone else's house and have begun to rearrange their furniture and then start commanding them to throw their best pieces away! These people work for free every single day to give you a place to write and all you can do is ridicule and slander them? What nerve. If that isn't tolerance I do not know what is!
Yep. I can think of several forums on the top of my head, which have terribly biased and intolerant admin teams and communities.
This board isn't one, even if I occasionally say things on this board that offend people, I don't see the 'gang up mentality that exists in other places.
I have visited forums run by homophobic' and rabid anti-Muslim 'libertarian' atheists, who swear at and ban people who disagree with them.
Some forums are run by blatent Europhiles that think Europe is the center of the universe, and are racist to other peoples and cultures.
On the opposite end some are run by American nationalist types, that think there is such a thing as a 'perfect' country - and hate anyone who compares America to the rest of the OECD.
Then there are the general political forums, where people gang up on each other and attempt to get everyone they don't like banned or warned.
I don't see any of those situations happening on this board. If Nutz thinks it is awful environment, I suggest he looks around the other forums on the net - as this is paradise in comparison.
