Fantastic! So where is jet199's warning? My use of an insult was merely in response to him attacking me first, if he had not attacked me my rule-breaking comment wouldn't even exist. It's a classic case of self defence, and then the victim being blamed; feels like the UK legal system over here.

Do you believe in the equality of all races? Do you believe all races can integrate and intermarry?

You realise how stupid this is? You're saying if one can be subjectively deemed to fit a slur then it's ok to call them that slur.

By this logic I can subjectively deem him to be retarded and call him a retard and it doesn't break the rules. Do better.

I'm not subjectively deeming you anything. I'm asking you to state your beliefs so that I can understand. If you believe in the equality of all races then I will give a warning to jet199.

I'm not subjectively deeming you anything.

Proceeds to ask whether I fit a subjective standard that would mean the pyramid of debate no longer applies to me. Very cool!

By this logic if a user is identified as (insert race) it's perfectly fine to call them a (insert racial slur for that race), because then they fit the slur. Absurdity. Also the funniest part about this is that means my subjective assertion that he's a retard is perfectly valid according to your fucked up logic and then I also didn't break the rules.

I'm asking you to state your beliefs so that I can understand.

Even if I was some cartoon KKK comic book villain he would have still broken the rules. There's nothing to understand except that you have some insane cognitive bias.

If you believe in the equality of all races then I will give a warning to jet199.

This makes literally zero logical sense. If I don't fit your subjective standard of racist, then he broke the rules; but if I do, he didn't break them..? Crazy amount of mental gymnastics required to square this circle.

If 'racism' is an offensive word to describe the belief that all races are not equal then what is a non-offensive word to describe that belief?

Who said anything about any races being equal or unequal? He simply called me a slur that was totally unsubstantiated. I shouldn't have to prove that I don't fit your subjective definition for what that means to determine whether he broke the rules or not.

I can't believe this has to be explained to you multiple times, it seems very obvious to me.

So now if I say all races are equal he's magically broke the rules? Ok then all races are equal. /u/d3rr, see buddy? Now jet199 broke the rules so I'm off the hook. What a load of old pony.

/u/jet199 you hurt /u/Markimus feelings when you implied that he is a racist. /u/Markimus believes in the equality of all races and supports the integration and intermarrying of all races. Please don't imply that he is a racist.
