My ban being lifted, I jump into the conversation and confirm that I have the same issue, and I share my story of having been banned after trying to discuss this.
This is where you fucked up. Relitigating bans in unrelated threads is the easiest way to get labeled a troublemaker.
Edit: Especially temporary bans. Take the L and move on.
Ok, but read what you just wrote again. “Asian manufactured cars” is only slightly abstracted from what you just tacitly acknowledged is racist.
I’m not saying the users of the term for Linux are intentionally being racist, but singling out Asian-manufactured cars is, or at least has been historically. Also, people put aesthetic mods on low quality American car models just as frequently.
I like Hey Riddle Riddle if improv comedy is something you like. Both for falling asleep and listening while awake.
Also, complaining on Reddit about how you were treated in the forums is similarly not productive. They probably aren’t even paid mods on Reddit.
