I See the SDice paid for trolls are busy downvoting the hell out of every comment on reddit.
I guess we have Eriks Answer.
Wow Mem, where should I start?
First of all, there are not any "paid trolls" of SatoshiDice. You are simply trying to get a reaction out of people by making such claims. In fact, you are lying, because such people don't exist.
Sure sure Erik.
Now before we delve into your long defense winded of racist speech, Id like to point of your conigitive dissonance on fault by assosciation.
http://blog.bitinstant.com/blog/2012/11/20/the-full-faith-and-credit-of-wikipedia.htmlIn other words, Wikipedia doesn’t mind accepting donations backed by a regime that has institutionalized the beheading of women for adultery or “witchcraft,” but it won’t accept Bitcoin, because it’s not backed by such an organization. Stated differently, if the same organization which encourages the stoning of women declared its affinity for Bitcoin, then Wikipedia would gladly add it as a payment option. Fiduciary duty, after all.
Second, to the more important point of Mircea's post. This issue flared up a couple months ago when some people found that post. Then, like now, there were some people outraged over it.
Understandably.
I read it back then (not having seen it before)
OK, so we have established that you did not have prior knowledge of this ugly side.
It is inaccurate and indeed ignorant to label Mircea racist from that post's content. The fact that someone uses the N word doesn't make them racist.
The very fact that someone choses to use the N word in the offensive and derogatory terms does indeed make them a racist.
This is an interesting point you have made though Erik, I feel many many people will disagree, you and I clearly do over this point.
I shall skip the long justification of why you and this person feel it is ok.
I highly recommend everyone actually read the blog post, for while it's certainly incendiary and I think unnecessarily provocative, it is not the writing of a racist. I've seen racist writings, this is not it.
I advise all that wish to come to their own conclusion do read this as well. I firmly disagree with Erik on this matter and shall be leaving a permanent asterix against SatoshiDice.
And yet, what really bothers me here is you, Mem. For while the main moral problem with racism is in the "fault by association," I see that you are succumbing to that exact fallacy.
I again point your cognitive dissonance on fault by association citing your wikipedia rant as my example.
You are associating SatoshiDice, and myself, with "racism" simply because you believe Mircea to be racist.
You are associated, there is no escaping this fact and I chose to boycott what I perceive to be businesses (or businesses represented/run by openly racist individuals) and their associates.
you know how many real racists there are using Reddit to spout their filth??
Reddit is a fine example of what freedom of speech entails, you yourself have no problem advertising satoshidice on reddit.... hrmmm whats this more hypocrisy ?
There is REAL racism on Redditp
.
Here I have to correct your obvious ignorance, there is REAL racism everywhere and only a fool would claim otherwise. You live in Dubai to escape American laws, you of all people should be intimately familiar with racism.
you are fine utilizing that platform for your purpose in order to discredit me for utilizing a platform of one person whom you allege is racist.
I was quite upset when I made that post, feeling sick to my stomach that I may have been inadvertently helping filth promote there ideals, still I stand by reddit as an indeal freedom speech platform.
Honestly, Mem, it sounds to me like you have deep insecurity about your own thoughts on race.
Uh oh, Dr Erik is going to do some armchair psychology over the internet, I'll skip it stating this - I no longer respect you or your opinions based on your chosen association with and defense of an individual I feel is an repulsive outspoken racist.
Germany is a great example of an entire nation doing this, for it is actually illegal to speak in favor of Nazism there.
So nice of you to brand a whole country there and very interesting fro, here I suffer hypocrisy myself I dislike the county you inhabit (Dubai) based on is clear racism and ongoing pseudo slavery and horrific treatment of women.
