This whole thing is getting blown WAY out of proportion. It's like someone robbing a grocery store and getting a life sentence. Nigma said what he said, apologised and said he won't say it again. I mean what do you want him to do? Leave the forum? Drop out of playing UT? The way things look, that's not gonna happen.
I sincerely hope that no-one's getting a "righteous" kick out of dragging this thread on and on like this. You are NOT doing the right thing by dragging this though the mud.
All those who keep firing away at Nigma should remember one thing. Someday, somewhere, you'll trip up and say something stupid, someone will inevitably post it on a forum and all this will happen to you. Y'know, "what goes around comes around". It might not be a racial comment, but you'll know how it feels. People make mistakes.
This thread should've been in the Off Topic section anyway, but maybe Smack Daddy just put it here because this section's read by more people and he wanted a little more exposure - a little more limelight. Well hey, your limelight's bulb just got pulled out of it's socket and it's all dark bud.
Why am I defending Nigma so vigorously? Is it because he's a member of Team Capture? No it's because I've played on servers with him, he's a good player, has never said anything like what he said before and doesn't deserve to be admonished like this. If you're hell-bent on pushing this issue, do it in-game with a couple of rockets. This is, after all, a UT forum.
