I want to be sure everyone here understands I was NOT trying to cause trouble when I asked about RobFunk, it was meant to be a real question. Racist comments DO offend me, I really don't find humor in them, and that is why I questioned RobFunk's hiring. I find RobFunk to be a valuable poster here at THERX, just didn't like the race stuff, so I thought I had a legitimate question. It's clear that the majority (if not all, as no one really stepped up and said they agree w/ me - i couldn't tell if BB was being sarcastic or not and KoiDog is a good friend of mine so it's natural he would usually agree w/ me) are NOT offended by this and that's up to you guys. So I do apologize for posting the question in a thread that was meant to be a positive and happy one for RobFunk & TTinco. I should have started a new thread w/ the question. I do NOT apolgize for feeling offended by a FEW of RF's posts, as I think they are wrong. I was also hoping some of you would have stood up and said they were with me that there is no room for those kind of posts, but everyone was quick to point the finger at me.
Besides that, I like it here at THERX and hope you guys want me to continue to post. I like posting here and look forward to it. Let me know.

Once again, I wish RobFunk & TTinco the best!

Good Luck on all your plays

Sherman sometimes one incident gets blown out of proportion, in this case I think thats all it was....you've been a very good topic starter for a long time now....Just forget about it, I'm sure you and Rob can get past this small bump in the road.

Everybody has skeletons in their closet, and most if not all, have made idiotic posts on here from time to time. I know I sure have.
Rob's posts was intended to be humorous, but it could be interpret as racist as Sherman did.
I don't think everyone should jump down Sherman's throat for pointing out a valid statement.
Whether or not Funkman is racist is irrelevant to me as I support everyone's right to their own opinion. I am very against racism and any kind of judgement on other people, but respect their right to their beliefs.

The title of moderator does not put anyone above the law and they should not be held to angelic standards. Higher standards, yes, not purity.

However, Rob Funk you will never get my vote for Pope or President. Just Joking.

Sherman,

Putting aside that in my experience Gamblers are too tunnel vision to consider racial issues, and also that everyone agrees that there is no place for the 5% or so real hatred, lets talk honestly about the vast majority.

Regardless of what ones situation is, hurdles have to be jumped, the fact that your hurdle is that you are black makes no difference to my hurdle. When black people start crying that their hurdle is unfair, it makes a mockery of other people's hurdles, and that is why I think you get a back-lash against certain prejudices.

The reality is, no matter what you are, nobody likes people whining on about being treated unfairly, not being able to take a joke or suck it up. I am English living in Southern Ireland, believe it or not, I actually drink with IRA sympathisers, but to them I'm not English, I'm a person, and when you have gained people's respect, all discrimination goes out the door.

Sherman...the reason I didnt "catch your back" in the other thread, was because I didnt want to clutter up a thread that was meant to congratulate the 2 new mods...me being an urban latino male, the word is always used around me and in my neighberhood...I honestly think that Rob was trying to be funny, and that he is not at all racist...i also know that when white people use the word, be it with an "er" or an "a" at the end, its not cool..i think there are actually some people that might have agreed with you, but didnt want to chime in the congratulatory thread, and also didnt want to recieve a backlash being that Rob is such a popular poster...as someone else already said though, the job of Mod isnt like Pope or President, so we shouldnt expect him to be infallible...I think he's a good guy and so are you...there was just some misunderstanding along the way...

I don't recall Sherman ever stating he was Black ( or Afro-American or the old-fashioned..."colored"...). In fact I tend to think he's a honky... ala Meathead Stivek fame. Those most offended by anti-AA things tend to be white. I've indicated in previous posts that I'm white, although nobody here has ever met me.

Lawrence and Froggie had some juice to get me the gig. They worked the "glory hole."
