As someone who isn't an official PuF'er(although I do frequent the forum), and as someone who, literally, completely severed all ties from someone when I found out they were racially bigotted against african-americans, allow my to add my 2 cents to this thread.
Ok...Nigma screwed up. I think that people getting upset about it was justified, especially in light of that fact that, clan or no, PuF'ers do represent a community, and anything they say can reflect upon that community(PlanetUnreal included.)
But, that having been said, I believe that he meant no harm, and has apologized appropriately. It's obvious, from his comments, that he meant nothing by them, so he's not a bigot. And he's stated that he has no intention of doing it again. I for one, accept that.
At most, Nigma may be guilty of being insensitive, but who hasn't? He made a mistake, he apologized. Let's move on. I hate bigotry as much, if not more, than the next person, but this wasn't inspired by hatred.
Smack, you did the right thing by bringing this up. And Nigma's response seems acceptable (to me anyways). So, can we kill this thread and get on with the fragging? /~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif
And if you feel like flaming this, remember it's only my opinion.
