This post is a plea to all Simple Math members who have a soul, and a warning to those who might choose to join this talented, yet misguided group of individuals.
First of all there are many Simple Math members I greatly respect and as I said above you are all very talented players, this thread isnt about revenge or slandering. My hope is that you will read this post and see things in a different light and change your dangerous ways of thinking, and if you think what you do isnt dangerous your very wrong.
I live in a small community in northern Idaho and have for the last 20 or so years. Until recently our city was home to a large chapter of a Neo-%%%@ organiztion known as the Arien Nations. In my short 23yr life I have witnessed much suffering and persecution at the hands of these people and their way of life. Their racism was a stain on our community that showed its face everywhere, in our homes, on our TV, and in our schools. About five years ago a hispanic boy and his african american foster brother were walking their dog on the outskirts of the local Arien compound when 3 of their members shot them for what they call 'trespassing', one of boys died. The series of lawsuits and criminal trials that followed bankrupted their organization and about 2yrs ago they disbanded for good and are no longer seen in our community although I have no doubt they remain.
Now for the point.....
In my short time as a member of <Simple Math> I have never heard more racist and anit-semetic remarks in my entire life. The constant use of Racial and Religious slurs aimed at Black, Jewish, and hispanic people on your vent server was so absolutely appaling it made me ill. You all should be very ashamed of the way you presented yourselves. Many of your members defended your words as simple 'Internet Humor' and stated things like "Were not racist, we just think this is funny". Im here to tell you that those type of comments are not funny, they are dangerous and a plague on our society. Ive seen the damage they cause, the hate they rally and I hope you all can one day look yourselves in the mirror and say "Im better then this".
I was recently kicked out of <Simple Math> because I voiced my disgust with this type of behavior and was asked to leave. Honestly thats fine, its definately for the better because I would not like to have my name associated with the type of things that go on within your guild. Just remember that your behavior and Overtly racist attitudes are going to cause you to lose more and more talented players and eventually scar what is otherwise a very fine guild.
