It's only a message board (take deep breaths and repeat after me).

Now, I'll just go and post a new thread about some non-controversial subject like transexual wombats - and I'll do my best to keep it DR-related.

I Don'nt Like The Use Of Racial Slurs. Can'nt We Talk Without That Garbage? And Why Is It Tolerated On This Site? Do You Use This Langage In The Presence Of These People? I Rather Dought It. You Would'nt Like It, IF Was Used Against You, Nobody Would. STOP THE MADNESS......

There is only so much "****" I can clean up!!! "Chiri" I deleted your "Haitian Rally" post for you,what more do you want??? Although Haitians seem to be a rather uneducated group,and they do "Smell",they too are "God's Children" and deserve to be treated with the same respect we all deserve!CC

PS,After reading "Chiri's" post. As I read through all the posts of the "Haitian Meeting" thread(Per your "PM" request!) I found it impossible to take the time to "Delete" all the personaL INSULTS YOU COMPLAINED ABOUT(INCLUDING YOURS,AS YOU REQUESTED!)They were too numerous! It was more efficient to delete the entire thread! If you wish to re-post any references,or information,please do so.Sometimes the "Baby is thrown out along with the bath water"!
Just another example of how a Moderator is "Damned if we do,and damned if we don,t"!!!!

Luckily Robert has a medical bio-potentiometer,to measure "skin thickness"before we can be hired!!!No thick skin,no job!!!

Normally I don't feel the need to justify my "Moderationing",you should feel blessed!CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCC http://www.dr1.com/forums/images/smilies/tired.gif

I am extremely ****ed off about you deleting that thread. It contained lots of useful information, not to you, perhaps, but to other users of DR1 who come here to seek all sorts of information. From now on, only those wanting to know where to find knocking shops need apply.

You could have just deleted the 'bastard' comments as I requested.

This is a perfect example of why Liberalism is a failure.

I post a reply in this thread pointing out various facts which disputes the liberals position. Instead of debating my points logically they go way off topic and scream about their freedom of speech being denied.

Face Facts!
The Haitian incident was a Totally Haitian Uprising. Did they receive outside assistance? Probobly but of a very limited nature and there is no proof that it was sanctioned by either the U.S. or Dominican Goverments. Any assitance mosy likely came from lower Dominican Military officials at the border and from Wealthy Haitian Americans
The U.S. negotiated resignation of Aristide prevented what was sure to be a bloodbath and now has allowed for assitance to enter Haiti quickly.
I ask my Liberal board mates what where the options. The US to send in troops to prop up Aristide? A man who's election was dubious at best and during his time in power drove the Haitian economy into the ground and used violence to control the Democratic opposition. Or would you have preferred that U.S. Not get involved and stand back and watch the streets of P.Principe run red with blood?

Screw you Grahame...

Only kidding chap. I am in NY till Thursday and this is the longest 8 days I have had in a while. My toes are always cold and it is 55 degrees here.

http://www.dr1.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif You Seem To Understand The English Language. My Post Was About Using Racial Slurs. Simply, That It Is Unnessary And Adds Nothing To The Conversation. I Agree That There Is Plenty Of Political Corruption To Go Around. It Is A Cancer. Just Like Racist Speech. As We All Know Corruption Must Be Fed With Rhetoric.You Are Seeing That Example Everyday In The DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. ie (Free Elections)

I find the use of "House Nig*er" offenssive,racist,ignorant,and intolerable in this Forum! Your subsequent "disclaimer" that the "Slur" has nothing to do with "color" is at best stupid! Don't use it again,or you will not be back!!! First Warning!! Moderator Cris Colon

This was really necessary? It's easy to deride someone you don't know, but I know the man personally and that's rubbish to even think he thinks like that. It's also offensive to me. The President acts in ways he thinks is best for the U.S. whatever anyone else thinks of that. There may be reasons to attack the actions, but not using skin color to base it on. Please remember that U.S. policy shifts with the party in office, and GB's principles are 180 degrees reversed from the previous party's "President", when he wasn't still searching for his "core values". Makes for a schizophrenic foreign policy sometimes, I agree.

Tom aka XR Not one shred of evidence exists to support the notion that life is serious.

First, the term "house ni--er" has nothing to do with "skin color" and everything to do with being a cooperative little quasi-slave who always gets more biscuits than the ones with independent thought. If that term caught the attention of the knee-jerk, "stop the madness", types out there, then good! Hipolito, if you haven't noticed, is white, and house ni--er is still the best term to describe his relationship to Bush.

Second, I hope you're not saying that Bush is Anti-Aristide simply because Clinton was pro-Aristide, though it wouldn't suprise me if you were and if that were official policy.

Aristide was democratically elected. Aristide was not talking with Castro/Chavez. Artistide was not harboring "terrorists". What the hell was this, then? Texas speculates CIA and/or DEA. This along with US cooperation in the attempted coup in Venezuela really exposes the Republicans as having an agenda that has little to do with promoting democracy.

Moderators included!We have all said things here that we are not proud of,myself included! Sometimes it is do to the heat of the moment,sometimes to our live's experiences,and sometimes it feels good just to "****" someone off! Remember,"Better ****ED OFF,than "****ED ON",(Some "North Shore" posters excluded!)
My exposure to DR1 has made me a more tolerant person.If you want to see,go back to the "Beginning" and drag up some of my exchangers with "Tony C,Golo,and AZB! Those were the "Good Old Days!"Robert spent hours deleting our rants!
We have all mellowed.
Until I am relieved of my duty here,you will just have to put up with me!Warts and all!
Just to shock you,even I am getting a little tired of President Bush!
But then we don't discuss World Politics on DR1!

I think next year we should have a 'Boxing Day' where all the whiner's and complainers about how the moderators moderate would get a chance to switch places with the moderators for 24 hours. Boy! Am I waiting for that one! I've saved up some great stuff I can't post! Let's see if they can keep up with me! :: evil grin ::

Tom aka XR ANIMAL LOVER ON BOARD. They're delicious.

Is calling Haitians 'bastards' 'offenssive,racist,ignorant,and intolerable in this Forum', as well, moderator?

I believe, you, sir, are missing the point. I won't argue Porfi's point for him, he is perfectly capable of doing so himself. But drawing attention to the bigger picture is not equivalent to an endorsement of Aristide. Most 'liberals' would agree that he lost credibility a long time ago, for the reasons you mention. IMO he never had it in the first place, but I can't blame Haitians for pinning their hopes on him. It made his betrayal of them all the more reprehensible. I think his kidnap claim was a clear face-saving exercise.

It is also valid to question whether what will come in his place will be any better, and to point out what interests are at play. The picture is still very murky.

The protests here were not so much a denial of freedom of speech as frustration at the moderator's blatant double standards.

Chiri

I like you, XR!!

Porfio, you need to understand that here in America, hardly ANYBODY, but a few black congressmen, and one or two white senators wanted Mr Bill to reinstall Aristide to power. Everyone of those had money interests in a few choice Haitian industries like the country's phone system and others. If you really think Aristide was a "democratically elected" president, then you don't know democracy. Just because an election is held, doesn't mean it is "democratic".

I hope that Haiti can really have a clean election. It won't solve all their problems, but it is the first step.

Your all so lucky we have other forums on DR1.
And DR1 is so lucky that we have such great moderators!

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy...

You are starting to sound hysterical!Like nothing will please you!This is a message board,not the International Court in La Haig!cc

What we have here is a situtation where the current leader could only keep power at the risk of destroying the country even more. We have a rebellion that for the most part was pretty tame as far as rebellions go.
The American governemt said no we will not get involved. So Airistede was left with either going down in a blaze of glory or leaving. The American government helped him escape and the rebels delayed the entrance of the capitol to give it time so as to reduce futher destruction.
Hate to say it the US chose the lesser of two evils. It was easier for the US to help get Aristede out and then hope to have influence over the new management rather than further support of Aristede.
As far as guns go the M16 is under $300 a copy and not hard to come by.

Oh yes! That shouldn't be much of a problem to find out, here's one of those helping organizations:

P.N. as in Policia Nacional Dominicana, celebrating their 68th anniversary kicking the Haitian and Dominican rear ends just for the he.k of it!

In a more real note:
The church is very involved in helping the Haitian community inside the RD as well as offering medical and monetary support to those on the other side of the border, just pay a visit to any local church and have a chat with the chap there, they'll be more than happy to guide your help towards those who need it the most.

Also you can contact the local Human Rights Watch center in the DR for any information on how to lend a hand to help ease some of the burden the haitian immigrant faces in the DR.

I neither said, nor implied any such thing.

It may be confusing to you, but as always it was quite concise and quite clear, your reading and comprehension skills or lack thereof notwithstanding.

I object to the use of the term. Nothing more, nothing less. It has no place here in this discussion except as cover to keep others from focusing on the vacuousness of your original post. I have no need of you putting words in my mouth, or care what you 'feel' I think. My simple little one paragraph stands for itself.

Tom aka XR There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
