You may have noticed (or not,) that I pulled Phil’s blog from my blogroll…. It was under the label “Bustednuckes”.
Sadly, Phil became less prolific of a poster and allowed some other dude with the handle “CederQ” to post….and he has become increasingly racist in his posting.
Now, we all have issues with how things are going, and how other races live their lives. We all make jokes and point out issues with them. I get that. However: “Hate Speech” is pretty had to define, but there is a point where that line is definitely crossed. “CederQ” has crossed over and over and is proud of it. Emails with Phil have shown that he supports, or at least won’t stop, the hateful, racist postings.
I can’t condone them, and believe in a community policing itself, even the Blogger community.
So I have pulled my links to his blog, as I don’t, in any way, care to be associated with such hateful speech that CederQ posts and Phil apparently condones or is too afraid of CederQ to stop. Either way, I don’t condone it.
I find it sad, as I once respected Phil as a hard working dude whos values were similar to mine…Never met him but would have liked to have a beer with. Now, not so much.
There’s a line that just plain shouldn’t be crossed. They keep stepping over it defiantly.
Free speech and all that, Phil’s blog, his rules. But I can’t condone what they post, so I gotta distance myself.
