This is Huma_22 I never got a chance to thank you for your constructive comments about my site idea. That whole thread...let's just say that I felt like shit the next morning and read what it had degenerated into. Your comments really made the difference, and even if you've had a change of heart since then, it's still good to know that my idea inspired some sort of merit in someone. Like yourself, I'm a writer and a journalist. I only recently shifted from full-time political reporter to freelancer in order to pursue a degree in English Literature. I've also written several game reviews and commentaries, some of which you can take a peek at here. www.gatt.co.tt Now for the screwed up part. I e-mail the Mods asking them if I could put one final comment in before the thread was locked away for good. I got no response. A few days later, someone e-mailed me with some interesting stuff. Seems like the Ars forum is not as intelligent/wholesome as I've always given it credit for. The whole blitz of negativity started with one guy. And the one person I would have least expected. A fellow Trinidadian and black person (or so he claims). Either way, thanks for your help, and here's the chatlog I was sent. Thought you would want to take a look, particularly at the things they said about you. [20:40] okay guys. [20:40] seriously though [20:40] I need you to shit in a race-related thread. [20:40] http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=39309975&m=5960995235 [20:40] SHIT FAST, SHIT HARD [20:40] is as/400 the insane type to actually bring a gun?

[21:00] Sorry Bf, didn't notice that. [21:00] Im tired right now [21:00] because the first thing someone will do is say "OMG YOUR A RETARD, SMART ONE" and think its witty. [21:00] Yahoo! is Gay!. [21:00] BF: did I do that? [21:01] oh. [21:01] well, j4h. [21:01] yahoo has a good summary of news and uses google for their search engine, they're good in my book [21:01] No. Im the retard [21:01] that's bait.

No more talking about this warning shit. I'm warning you! [21:08] Omg. [21:08] lol [21:08] its a trap [21:08] I support a black gamers community because I feel guilty on account of being white. [21:08] we were just talking about how cep is going to get banned. [21:08] wtf? [21:08] We're so EVIL. [21:09] who is cep getting banned? [21:09] FTB: gimmie monies instead. I demand reparations. [21:09] Okays. [21:09] Do I get sexing fope its? [21:09] http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=39309975&m=5960995235&r=5990995235#5990995235 [21:09] zw: for this post. : http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=39309975&m=5960995235&r=2990995235#2990995235 [21:09] zw, for this [21:09] FTB: nose. Reparations states you give me monies in exchange for nothing. But maybe we can work something out. <3 [21:10] <3 [21:11] gj BF. [21:11] keep 'em coming boys. [21:11] You know BF [21:11] I will demand reparations. [21:11] or I will demand reparations. [21:11] I'm actually starting to like YUO1942. [21:11] I knew you would come around. [21:12] Though...I really need to get my joystick setup so I can pwn everyone in planes. [21:12] * Rane has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [21:12] NOYUO1942! [21:12] if you get reparations i get reperations [21:12] shit [21:12] i get double [21:12] I shot down a zero with a TBD the other day in an intense dogfight. [21:12] * Dromax has joined #arsclan [21:12] hahaha [21:12] I typed my original reply [21:12] whenever I see the words reparations, I always think of the backwards Seinfeld episode [21:13] i accidentally set font size="30" [21:13] that was ROL [21:13] Reparations! [21:13] read my reply [21:13] im almost afraid to read it :) [21:13] why? [21:14] One of the great things about the internet is that it is a race and sexless place. By that I mean irc, forums, email....you don't know their race, sex, religion, etc... [21:14] On-line gaming is the same way.... [21:14] There is no color or sex or ethnic barries....it is a way for all to come together and since you don't know the sex or race of the person you are able to judge them based on your interactions with them not on some silly racial or sexual choices.... [21:14] So to sum it up: Fucking worst idea ever! [21:14] ZW [21:14] there you cant esacpe it [21:14] =] [21:14] * Rane has joined #arsclan [21:14] * Rane has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) [21:14] * Big_Bad_Wolfie has joined #arsclan [21:14] Zenny, you're normally very blunt in your replies which makes for comedy but unfortunately I sometimes worry you go a bit far :) [21:14] dont want to see you get banned or something [21:14] aww.. bf why did you change font size, it was humorus big [21:15] like really big [21:15] I thought it was a good and true reply [21:15] the original was a typo [21:15] I meant to do size=3 [21:15] and ended up with 30 [21:15] ahh [21:16] I need some comedy gold, boys. [21:16] I'm in the mood to be entertained. [21:17] well hell [21:17] doc does that for a living [21:17] http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=39309975&m=5960995235&r=2990995235#2990995235 [21:17] ja, read that [21:17] what was wrong with my post BF? [21:17] * RetardTFK is now known as YodaTFK [21:17] and on that note of racial segregation, it's time for sleep [21:17] ...loading... [21:17] edit, refresh [21:17] maybe I shouldve left the font size set to 30 [21:17] oh my heck [21:17] rol [21:17] mef's pic in the topic [21:17] heh, nice reply [21:18] after all, they let zathras link in every fucking thread in existance, whats a little big text? [21:18] j4h. [21:18] I was wondering why you made it so small in the edit. [21:18] Big was cool. [21:18] agreed [21:19] !addquote May God strike this thread dead. [21:20] hehe [21:20] That's your best line, ever, Doc. [21:20] more proof that people are stuipd and should be eliminated [22:16] "Wow, that clinched your argument." [22:17] ha, I win. [22:17] I FEEL LIKE SUCH A WINNER [22:19] * Calvin sets mode: -oo DocsDaName Shodan [22:19] * Calvin sets mode: +vv DocsDaName Shodan [22:19] lol [22:19] WINNAR WINNAR CHICKEN DINNAR [22:19] Calvin, lock that damn thread already.
