When reviewing the whole of IJK's postings his positions are clear and rather appalling.

People should look in the mirror... it might help us learn that FT is not a place for intolerance and hate. I don't mean to bring this up here, but your application of the term "raghead" and advocacy of "genocide" would be appalling to a majority of the people in the world. It was, however, not a personal attack even if it was in poor taste. That is why IJK has a slightly higher moral ground than yourself.... for I have yet to see IJK advocate "genocide" or apply bigoted labels to a group of people based on birth. I could be wrong. I think the fact that IJK has not applied his terms to a specific individual (generally speaking) is why he may have not crossed the moderators in the same way.
Only Randy Petersen is not a forum for a politicized wing of FT members -- who, in net, are great contributors that I thoroughly enjoy to disagree with them vociferously -- to whine that they should be allowed to spew intolerance on the basis of sex, religion, national origin, ethnicity, creed, and such.In some people's eyes (even if not mine), it may make FT and FT's owner look bad when the FT forum becomes a host and forum for intolerance. Combine that with personal attacks, and so far the moderators seem to be doing the right thing (even if for reasons that are not easily and well articulated). To expect perfection is to be disappointed.
