2016 Postmortem

(11,650 posts)There have been regretable things said by many, including myself. The thing is I own it and try to apologize if I can.
The OP you linked to was a very awkward one at best. Those type of conversations can turn sour quick, especially when people not familiar with the subject matter make insensitive comments out of ignorance or bluster. I agree the person that made the "move back" comment should have apologized for it. Their point was hamfisted and racially and culturally insensitive.
The use of neo-Nazi hate-sites like tomatoebubble in an OP and /or recommending an OP that uses such a source, it is far and away the most vile thing I have seen on this discussion board yet. Attacking a person of Jewish heritage with Nazi talking points is disgusting.
To not automatically condemn such actions or make light of them is shocking and disturbing and though I left and came back I am still on the fence if this website is the place I thought it was.
