Ah, and then people complain when a gold seller advert here remains undeleted for a mere two hours... EDIT: On a more serious note, posts like this might help you keep your optimism: What bothers me most is that the community is made up nearly exclusively of sheep. I'm willing to bet that a good number of players, and even some of the posters who made a witty comment were actually offended (at least on some level). And, instead of expressing it, they chose not to ruffle feathers. No, I'm not black. But, anything I've said which most probably presume was targeted ONLY at the whites who made those racist comments is meant equally for any and all of the black players who said, "I'm black and I thought this was funny." I'm sure some of them might respond, "you have no right to tell me how to feel about these types of comments." But, I would say the same thing to these people that I would to anyone who's getting bullied/insulted. "Stand up for yourself." Insults are insults, even when masked in humor. All of the 15 and 16 year olds, who play Wow and on the forums, are seeing this and likely developing skewed perspectives on bigotry because people refuse to speak up and say something. It's hours later. And I'm still very angry at what I saw in that thread--not so much the original post as the hundreds of endorsing comments made about it.
