Earlier today Razor was suspended for making an off the cuff remark in which he used an apparently slanderous and offensive term directed at a "troll". While I don't condone the use of the term nor offending members of this forum, aren't we dangerously close to a double standard here? Razor made a singular comment and was nailed to the proverbial cross, yet there are multiple threads directed at sexual orientation (i.e. "gay") here with numerous responses and no recourse from admin? Moreover, how is any of this related to physical fitness, body building, nutrition, etc?
Times Roman recently posted a thread "I'll say this once" in which he WISELY cautioned the membership about derogatory comments leveled at race, gender, orientation, etc yet here we are bashing the gay community on this very thread. In all fairness to Razor, how is this permissible? I'm not condoning his earlier language, but I think you are being unfair to him by holding him to a higher level of accountability that what I'm seeing here.
Believe me, I am a smart ass and practical joker and love to have fun (work hard, play harder is my mantra) but I think if we are going to demand a standard of ethical behavior for one member it needs to apply to all.
Hopefully this comment won't get me suspended, or start a backlash but I don't see the fairness in suspending one member for an isolated comment when entire threads are started that come dangerously close to offending some members. Would it be any more acceptable to start a thread asking female members about their favorite sexual position? I'm pretty sure that would be just as taboo.
