I hate to sound like a broken record but name calling is also in violation of the TOS.

It's ugly, it's mean spirited, it's downright un-Ammurrican even!
I support the TOS and Pam on this 100%. Racism, bigotry, religious intolerance - these are the real enemies out there.

I've seen this happen before on this board. Exploitation. It has happened to me personally. And, after the exploitive thread, then board members jump on the bandwagon. I call it the bandwagon effect. In the end, the person's post that is exploited gets hurt.
If we had a regular occurrence of someone posting racial and ethic slurs, I could understand. However, I think this person who inappropriately expressed herself did not do this intentionally. I would like to know why this matter wasn't handled quietly. It could have been. Instead, it has been handled like the news media handles subjects---blown way out of proportion.
I would like to ask each of you if you have NEVER said something inappropriately before when you are angry or hurt. If you haven't, then you can be first to cast the first stone.
I agree that racial and ethic slurs are awful. If this were done intentionally, it would be a different matter. But, I THOUGHT this board was for support. Not exploitation...”bandwagoning”...and beating someone up when they are hurting.
Have a heart.
Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for reading,

Pam is looking out for this community, reminding everyone to keep a clear head when posting...Our TOS is pretty strict, and whether the case is isolated or not, we run the risk of losing this community everytime something like this happens.

My point was not to leave the post as is. I would suggest removing the entire thread or editing the individual post and sending her an email explaining why. I've had my entire post removed before with an email warning. I've not had an entire thread removed, so I don't know if that is possible. However, publically devoting a thread to someone's mistake, especially in the past when it has happened to me, is embarassing and humilating. I was concerned about her experiencing that. I didn't want her to experience the same pain I've felt.
