Everyone is so afraid of being called a racist, it's mostly PG humor we use regarding him, even though we tend to go full speed on the other members. I didn't have any problem with Rip defending him. Rokken was the one that started the thread on AP's own site about his past demons. My problem is with the people that get offended if you joke even a little about Arnel. He's just another famous person and gets treated like the rest of the celebrities around here. The thread title was fucked up but it is fixed so no big deal to me. I'm just here having fun, I really don't judge anyone I meet on the net as we know so many people act differently when the don't have the cloak of cyberspace anonymity to hide behind. Myself, pretty much what you read is what you get. I am what I am. I don't go to other forums and use a different User ID or any of that other pussified shit, because of what I say here. I is who I is.
Well, I don't think saying he has a Potato head would be a racist remark

I really don't disagree with anything you just said either. I guess I just hate when people's feelings are hurt. Not Arnel's, being famous puts him in that spotlight, but fellow board members.
Who's feelings got hurt here? You've mentioned bits of two different somewhat controversial threads in this thread, which has nothing to do with those topics. Why do people keep bringing up the word "vets" as if it's a bad thing? I don't get it. You are a "vet" too, Lynn. I don't see anything wrong with missing the way things were, and stating so. I'm not ashamed to say that I much prefer the late '06-mid '07 era of my MR experience. Niggy shouldn't be bashed, even in an indirect way, for saying how he felt. And for people to keep on using "vets" in that manner, it might just be causing some hurt feelings as well.

I've been pm'ed enough about this, and I don't know where L is, lol, but anyhow, I think the point is that no one really deserves any bashing for saying how they feel, period. If Nig shouldn't be bashed for saying how he felt, well hey on that same token he didn't need to bash Rip by telling him to "stop embarrassing" himself for saying how he felt either. Nor did anyone else deserve bashing for simply stating how something could be taken out of context. That's all
Oh I guess to stay on topic...I didn't even see it, so I won't drag out my cheerleader skirt and poms-poms
