I sincerely hope you're not agreeing with what's been said. If so, you are no better than they are. If you're just trying to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal and it will pass, read the thread again because you didn't understand the true hatred there.

Just like Ivan, I prefer this comes out to an open forum for all to see. I refuse to post to the thread where not everyone can see what is said.

I'm hoping with the severity of the thread, Ian will make it public when he gets back for all to see and understand.

I can't believe this is actually happening on the XOC.[/b]
You know, I didn't see the word "hate" specifically used. Maybee you can point out to me where it was on the thread. Yes, the views expressed are a bit extreme, and no I don't agree. I just don't see how in this day and age and in this obviously charged climate people can get so up in arms and appear to be shocked when people express these types of views.

We live in a changing world and the extremists just don't seem so extreme anymore. Am I the only one who just isn't surprised by this? I realize that it feels to some like these attitudes are foreign to XOC and we are very protective over the site, but when you mix so many diverse people who's only common link is a vehicle you are bound to get people with attitudes are are going to be offensive to some.
