Have you never heard of Top Gear? Or the Grand Tour? Or even Clarkson's Farm? Man, come on, you are missing out on peak British specimen

One talks and the one doesn't, but it's still here. As I said to a friend of Europe. I am not willing to pass on any kind of bigotry. Excuse me, I'll be civil about it, but if you can't recognize that every human being is equal, independently of it's race, sexual orientation, religion or whatever, get off my lawn. We're a LGBT-friendly region and we tolerate LGBT-phobes as long as thet are quiet? I disagree, sorry.

*edit, I don't want to lure him into an offence, I am just stating my opinions. Sorry to RI and all the staff if I made it look that way

Everyone is entitle to their opinion as long as they respect the other. Homophobes are not welcome here by any mean. But we must understand that if we want someone to abandon bigotry bullying is not the solution. Nobody here knows Callbout background, he could be from a very religious household or could be a true as*hole, but surely we won't ever understand him nor make him change his ideas by verbal violence and passive aggressiveness. Again, if so many of you feel like he shouldn't be here address US and we'll try to find a solution. Mob rule never works.

I will disagree with the bolded part. Or rather extend it from my experience: without being challenged or bullied, such people also don’t change. Not talking about that one specifically but rather about people in general, at a larger scale

While I do not deny some people change, and I know some good IRL examples, when it comes to online places it’s much easier to pretend [to become a better person]. As for online places I feel it easier to ignore people I dislike for most cases, until triggered again

Thus I try to avoid interacting with calbout and some other players, however, I know you fully realise how I might feel after all what’s been said about “me and my folks” earlier. No mute or modcom punishment erases or fixes it, and there is no real reason to believe something has changed within the person’s mind,

but I do also admit the modcom actions somewhat balanced it mechanically, rule/game-wise, I don’t challenge that part and don’t call for any additional action

Now, while I can understand why some do not like him for his past endevours perhaps, and I say perhaps, attacking him to lure him to commit an offence is flaming or at least offense solicitation. This has been constant. So can Outer Sparta stop it please? Keep your strenght for when someone actually breaks the rules.
I think that [nation]Einswenn[nation] and [nation]KKoRea[nation] both have some reasons on their side. That being said, instead of causing ruckus here it would be better to address us directly. Bullying people, no matter how wrong they are, won't change the fact you are bullying him. And given you are all pretty experinced in the art of the net you should know that no one ever changed his mind by being bullyed. Fell free to disagree with me but do it calmly and civilly.

Okay, I'll drop the matter even if I massively disagree with the decision to keep him for his extensive transgressions in the past and harboring someone known for intolerance.

Maybe he can change and time might prove it right, but I just don't like the look of someone known for homophobia still get a pass even if he's still here on a short leash atm.

Speaking of which... here is a question to you all...

During School and University, what were your favorite shows?
Aside of Top Gear and Grand Tour, it was Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, 1986, Conta-me Como Foi, Vento Norte, Fallout... and a lot more

My own experience tells me the contrary but that is the point, personal experience. I'm not a persecuted minority so I won't ever be able to understand it fully but my role calls me to be impartial and act by the law even if I would personally act differently. I hope that I made clear this region's stand on the matter and that I deeply hope we can improve things. Something I'm adamant about is what kind of behaviour won't make it work.
