Well, the post that got all the replies certainly was racist in context, but not so much

in isolation.

But "people" haven't "let" a blatantly racist post stay on the board, Ben has. "People" can't delete posts. I presume Ben hasn't seen the other post.

        The only actually racist post has had zero replies. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jun 17, 10:54:57
        
        So people have been complaining about racism (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:14:42
        
        Well, the post that got all the replies certainly was racist in context, but not so much (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jun 17, 11:19:42

        One reply. Made less than a minute before I posted this. (n/m) (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jun 17, 10:58:16
        
        I agree with SCC. People need to calm down (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 10:45:49
        
        That's even more ridiculous than your previous post (n/m) (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:24:38
        
        Which previous post? (n/m) (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 11:25:44
        
        That should have been below 'fair enough' (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:32:06
        
        He posted what he posted and phrased it how he phrased it (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 11:47:57
        
        Just wanted to register my disapproval... (General Chat) - Wilts, Jun 17, 11:08:53
        
        Fair enough (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 11:12:14
        
        That post was astatement of fact, although clearly designed to rattle Wrath cages. (General Chat) - CB41, Jun 17, 11:00:56
        
        I'm guessing that's why the worse post wasn't reported first then (n/m) (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:16:16
        
        That post was astatement of fact, although clearly designed to rattle Wrath cages. (n/m) (General Chat) - CB41, Jun 17, 11:00:00
        
        Although i've just seen his subsequent post which i agree does cross the line more! (n/m) (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 10:48:44
        
        Probably best to read it through before telling people to calm down (n/m) (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:04:08
        
        I had read the post he was talking about. Still no need for the frenzy though (n/m) (General Chat) - Jim, Jun 17, 11:08:40
        
        Hardly a frenzy (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:14:34
        
        People need to point it out?!!! (n/m) (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:17:01
        
        Of course they do. (General Chat) - Arizona Bay, Jun 17, 11:21:22
        
        Sorry but I don't see what all the replies registering offence achieves (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:36:48
        
        It's about being part of the club. (General Chat) - Bare_Buttocks, Jun 17, 11:39:44
        
        They don't need too (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:20:09
        
        Because that's what the 'troll' wants? (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:38:37
        
        I think they do (General Chat) - Old Man, Jun 17, 11:18:56
        
        But it was pointed out by over a dozen people (General Chat) - SCC 28, Jun 17, 11:41:50
        
        Good (General Chat) - Huge Small, Jun 17, 11:48:11
