Some people see racism everywhere, it's as if they programme themselves to interpret any possible reference to be offensive. Ironically this causes offence, divisiveness and discord in itself, the very opposite of what they claim they want and is deeply patronising too. Anyway, he made a mistake, no big deal. At least he's doing something positive in the game otherwise.

Even if it happened on Monday, calling it Black Monday would still be making a reference to the market crash. The human language is really funny in that way.
Of course the same suppleness also allows people to see what they want if they are looking hard enough.

No surprise really to me. The channel is really terrible in my honest opinion. Worst help channel that I've been into.

Based on that log, it appears that "ISD Selcitrap" needs to go back to training. At BEST, that muting was a majorly rude and insulting overreaction to THEIR OWN mistake being POLITELY pointed out to them. For reference - in the U.S. at the time of the database issue and resulting emergency downtime, it WAS in fact Friday - the NYSE AMEX NASDAQ and other US markets also happened to be open at the time.
The timing was also interesting, as the NYSE on the Thurday right before witnessed it's largest one-day "downward spike" EVER on absolute basis (the percentage drop wasn't nearly as bad), thus multiplying the parallels to the original 1929....

It was a help channel. Not local. Whocares what black Friday is. You argued with the law. You don't argue with the cops. You argue with the judge. You were trolling as that wasn't the place for it and didn't listen.

He was not trolling, he was responding to a serious accusation far too easily made these days with impunity and no recourse. I'd do exactly the same and be thoroughly ****ed off about it. Free speech is being trodden on in the interests of the few who enjoy and look for offence where ever they can. They should not be allowed in a position of authority where they could poison the atmosphere with their misguided ignorance.

Let's face it though - it may be a bit unfair to call a friday black just because the servers didn't work. At the present state of the economy, unemployment runs rampant through all social classes and some people who would put in the effort still can't get work.

What more, in hispanic circles the word "negro" is also used as a term of endearment (the way you would call someone "dear") and it can apply to anyone regardless of skin color. ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader! |

Unfortunately people put racism into words and not the intent of those words.
Saying something is black thursday is not a negative thing, black just means dark, it was a dark day in this context. The UK had a black monday in the 80's for example.
Now if it was refered to a person, then that could potentially be negative, but again depends on how it was implied. He was .... is a statement whereas, he's a .... (something negative) implies that that negative is due to the .... . (using .... rather than being accused of being racist myself.
Never link words to the intent or context of those words, or we will end up talking like morons to get around the simple description of a colour.
For example -
Chalk board instead of black board (A chalk board is describing a board make of chalk not something you write on with chalk, whereas a black board is a black coloured board, which you happen to write on in chalk.)
I am getting more and more and more annoyed with political correctness, and one day will go insane if we continue it (might even go american and shoot everyone (now that is technically a racist comment suggesting that americans are trigger happy and shoot people *grins*))

It always annoys me when people see a word like 'black' used, and just assume it's used in a racist manner. Ah well, political correctness for the win, I guess. Really only one thing you can do...

A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and nobody talks to a horse, of course. That is, of course, unless the horse is famous GM Horse!
Go right to the source and ask the horse. He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse. He's always on a steady course. Talk to GM Horse.
People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day. But GM Horse will never speak unless he has something to say. A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse. You never heard of a talking horse?
Well listen to this: "File a petition"

Originally by: Terminal Insanity Black Friday refers to several things, and none of them have anything to do with race.
Today, i was gagged in the Help channel for being a racist troll.
I inquired about this morning's item problems in the Help channel, and someone refered to it as 'black Friday' (referring to the wall street crash of 1929... in the US they call it 'Black Thursday', but due to timezone differences, in the UK it is called Black Friday.
Terminal Insanity, seen you many times on help channel. :) The smiley is there because this has got to be one of the dumbest reasons to get muted over, ever. Really.
To whoever muted him, way to flaunt your ignorance! G*d, don't people learn anything in history class any more?!
