I'll be the judge of that if you don't mind
Wait, you're so audacious to presume that someone else can't judge another's actions... I think it's pretty clear that just what was said (by hideaway) was a reasonable assumption... I know you have moderator under your name, but I don't think that gives you special consideration as concerns how users speak or defend other users, other moderators on this forum. I think it's pretty insulting to tell someone that they 're not capable or privileged enough to have an opinion... to be the judge of another user's character.
I know in the past you've deleted posts which were often in response to the language and actions of the subject we are speaking of. This particular user was
banned I'll remind you, and what leonmarino said is also correct, in that his user title (and most of his output, really) was both offensive and misogynistic... I do hope that you split this thread into say, the Site Feedback forum, and move these posts that discuss this behavior here, because I think it's important that we all get a chance to air our grievances, or add our own two cents as it were about the subject.
If anything the ban was much too long in the waiting... there were countless threads, posts, responses which could have been avoided; in fact, the user was banned previously... we were merely a captive audience for his braggadocio.
We're not talking about a random stranger who pops in to talk about political Korean rhetoric and then disappears, we're talking about a member of the forum who consistently showed a level of immaturity and disrespect which almost no member took seriously or even casually refrained from commenting on.
As for the,
"given the chance" comment, you've also stated before your feeling about how foreign men go for Asian women simply because they're too ugly to get girlfriends in their own country--- I think you're adding insult to injury by saying that given the chance, almost anyone would act like a vile sex tourist... nee sexual predator.
I think it's important in a forum to be able to isolate particular users who seem to be offensive, that this sort of thing is natural to us, as human beings... Dutch baka offered much less editorial about this particular user's character than I and leonmarino have... I think that it's a shame that a user can insult the general character and intelligence of both Asian females, and this forums members, but can't be remarked upon for this behavior, as if he deserves some special favour... even though I'm sure his response to this thread would have been
quite enlightening.
I do sincerely hope you look at my response not merely as a challenge to your attempt to stymie this off hand remark, but to look at it as discussion, one to one, forum to moderator, moderator to moderator (I'm referring to Dutch Baka here), and to discuss this in an intelligent and reciprocal way.
