Please delete my account...

I don't want to be tempted to return, so I ask for the account to be completely jaked. It's one thing to be harassed by racist jackasses in PMs... It's another thing being harassed for shedding light on the racist jackasses. If you're going to bend the rules to protect racist jackasses, then I'd just as soon you delete my account immediately.

I know I'll take heat because people hate these kinds of threads... But whatever.

So in retrun to all the "good riddance" cat calls this is sure to evoke, I say 'have a nice life.'

Adios!

Taco

I would make fun of your heirtage for their bad dental care and awful disgusting choices of what is considered edible, but damn if I don't have some of that blood running through my veins.

Of course I have some latin blood too...

Since when is calling someone a "Mexican" being racist? I just think some here don't like otter so they are flaming him. The only way calling someone a mexican could be construed as being a racist term would be if the person stating it was truly a racist.That is for otter to decide. It is no different than someone calling me a whiteboy. I have one smilie for this whole thread...

I'm not sticking up for otter or Taco spam but this is blown out of proportion.

Exactly. However, there were racial slurs used by another poster which left no doubt. I don't blame TJ for being pissed.

If someone called Denise a Mexican, would she leave?

Think about it.

some here need to GET OVER themselves in a BIG WAY.

Insult him for his posting style, the team he roots for, whatever.

Your past actions prove the type of person you are. This is just added to the list.

Welcome to the ignore list, douche.

Yep, same can be said when I have called him Burrito Jane. None of those words have racist or demeaning meanings as they play on his name.

No shit.

Getting this bent over name calling?

I sure hope they ran home and told Mommy that someone was being mean to them.

Before anyone goes calling me a racist, jerk or whatever toots your horn you should full story, which I doubt any of you do unless you somehow read everything that went on between him and me.

By the Tac0 John rules of engagment: How is using the word "Mexican" racist? It's not.

And this whole drama by the queen is just another call for attention and an easy out because he can't stomp on our team at will.

He plays some you like a fiddle, its pathetic and it pisses me off.

Bottom line: you don't know the whole story and its really none of your business what I said to him in a private message.

Lest you get away with revisionist history you called his mother a "mexican whore", at least be accurate.

It is not the word, but the way in which it is used, that determines that.

Just my opinion, or course.

Calling Otter a ****tard, ****face etc etc is calling names. I don't see how someone can percieve calling Taco a name by calling his mother a mexican whore. Classless punk.

The term "Mexican Whore", albeit not very nice, is not a racist term. The word Mexican is not racist, no matter what other word is appended to it. As I said, it may be mean, not nice, whatever the fuck you wanna call it, but it's not racist.

MrBlond · 11-10-2003, 09:13 AM

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Mexican whores is good people.

IMO, name-calling is a perfectly reasonable form of communication. Now maybe otter shouldnt have thrown in the racial qualifier. I don't see the big deal, but OK, he shouldnt have done it. But, that calls for all of this?

TJ has always given as good as he has gotten. To start a thread about how he doesnt feel at home anymore and to delete his account smacks of attention grabbing, imo. If he wanted to leave, no need to start a thread about it. If he wanted Otter warned, he got it.

Do you think TJ would be so quick to run away if Denver was 9-0 and KC was 5-4? shit, you couldnt keep him from rubbing our noses in it if you called his mother a French Canadien whore.

I see someone has figured it out...

on a related note, I did some self examination in light of the recent panty twisting that went on this weekend and have not found a word or words that someone could call me on an Internet board that would cause me to turn into a giant puss like Teej did here and Ive even been called the worst words of them all on several occasions.

TJ has been nothing but an attention whore since he started posting here. The sad thing is that so many here have fallen for it.
