What ninhahood said could've been simply taken as a metaphor with use of humor and known colloquialisms.

He got banned for implying that Arab-American store owners influenced Pimentel to become a terrorist.
Bingo. It's as simple as that.
He said that a guy became a terrorist because he spent too much time hanging around Arab Americans. How is that not a bigoted statement?
We have as much of a right to OFFEND as we have the right to BE OFFENDED.
Not on here you don't. The rules are very clear on this.
You're here voluntarily. If you want to offend people and you're mad that NikeTalk doesn't grant you carte blanche to do so, there are about a billion other forums standing by to accept your posts. Pick one.
Our community has its own distinct character and purpose. That's our right. It's not supposed to be all things to all people.
This gon be good "Silly vs Meth Vol. the great wall of texts"
Sorry to disappoint, but my time isn't completely worthless.
Without going into details but I've been reported SIMPLY for basically bashing religion...in a religion thread.
Whether you've been reported or not, you've only been warned/suspended for the following:
1) Trolling in unrelated threads (think Miami Heat fans trying to ruin a Knicks season thread - or turn every NBA discussion on earth into a Lebron > *.* thread)
2) Insults/personal attacks.
Really, if I wanted to ban you just because you have a "dissenting opinion" about religion, why aren't you banned? You've only done it about a thousand times on this account now. And hey, let's be honest here - you're not saying anything that others haven't said/pasted on here countless times before you. What's new to you isn't necessarily new to the world.
We don't ban people for expressing "dissenting views" on religion. Such views are expressed constantly. We ban people for being generally obnoxious and disrespectful to others. That's the group you'd be martyring yourself for.
And again, i'd hate for this thread to get locked on the "premise" its off topic like the other one.
Spare us the histrionics, please. The other post was also several days late. I linked to the first post started on the subject, which is standard practice even if there hasn't been a violation.
You ever think someone reported him and no one reported what YOU thought was offensive? Nah, that's too much common sense. Report it if need be. If not, be quiet. It's pretty simple.
That's all there is to it. NikeTalk receives THOUSANDS of new posts each day. We don't have the time or staff-power to read all of them. It makes sense, then, that we rely on our users to help us locate those rule violations that are considered the MOST harmful to their enjoyment of our community. People talk in every movie theater, but you don't place ushers in every third seat just to make sure nobody's on a cell phone. If, however, someone comes to the manager and complains about an obnoxious patron, or an usher does happen to pass by that idiot with a camcorder, odds are they'll do something about it.
If none of this "bothers" you, fine. I'm not requiring you to complain about violations you don't care about. It is more than a little disingenuous to suddenly care about a host of "similar" violations only AFTER you or someone you know catches a ban or suspension.
You can't sit here and say "this stuff isn't offensive." All of the reports suggest otherwise. Simply because something isn't offensive to YOU doesn't mean that it can't be offensive to others or that the entire community has to revolve around YOUR preferences. You're not the center of the universe. Sorry.
We're trying to make sure that tens of thousands of very different people can coexist here and we have very limited resources at our disposal. That's not an easy task.
All you have to do is make sure that YOUR posts comply with our clearly listed forum rules. That's a VERY easy task in comparison.

LOL I'm messing with you HBD. I just remember the days when dudes stayed harping about your age. Props to the #Cowboys for winning yesterday, BTW. Hope Romo can keep it up... If not, my #Eagles are waiting in the wings.Originally Posted by megatron
