View submission: Can we ban this extremely racist asshole?

I'm inclined to agree with you, however;

If we're going to follow n this case, then surely we've got to take action against everything else that breaches the UA? Abusive, hateful etc. etc. No? And like I said, that covers a lot. I'm tempted to say the UA is flawed, but I think the problem is a lot deeper than that.

At the end of the day I agree it comes down to ignoring this shit.

Maybe this is a good/better way of putting it: "Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."??

I agree, that's why I capitalized "ALL". If they delete content because it violates the rules, they should delete ALL content that violates the rules. We all know this won't happen.

If they decide to ban this user for breaking the rules, they should ban ALL users that break the rules. Again, won't happen.

If they decide to ignore it this time, it should be ignored every time. I think this ones the winner.

My point was, you can't claim censorship if the rules already tell you you can't post this stuff.
