I am a Russian and I am offended

category: offtopic [glöplog]
"Russians: Ignoring your requests completely because tired of your retarded bullshit. If you ever dare to spam this thread again I am going to demand permbans. Not joking."

I understand the context etc. However, I also happen to be a Russian and I am offended to see this kind of comments, esp. when this is coming from a gloperator. Havoc, you may be a nice guy in the real life etc etc, but this is not on. Seriously.

I have talked to Havoc and I understand his (at this point pretty extensive) frustration. If he would've said "Russian ZX scene", it would've been accurate.

Let me put it this way - of all the site, the fixme thread is probably the most sacrosanct where there is absolutely no place for juvenile slapfights, because it's where people actually try to keep the prod archive accurate. From what Havoc told me (I don't frequent the thread) this has been repeatedly violated. As a result, we're closing in to zero tolerance on "Russian ZX drama", the results of which is probably gonna offend you a lot more.

So yeah, if you're offended, perhaps start looking at the reasons first.

Gargaj, havoc's problem _is not_ the Russian ZX scene and this is why I find your comment almost equally offensive. I am Russian and I make demos for Spectrum, so I must be a part of the Russian ZX scene. And frustration that you referred to, the squabbling and quarrelling, it affects me too, in fact, it affects me _more_, because I have to constantly prove to people that I am not bonkers, in addition to having to prove all other, more regular demoscene-related things.

Today, there is a sizeable part of the Russian ZX scene that is deeply unhappy with the behaviour of the few people who just won't stop no matter what. They do not listen, others tried talking, I tried talking. I can understand that you don't want to understand the intricacies of who did what etc, but what can people like me do, what can I do?

At the same time, this is not the first Pouet drama and they are not the first individuals who caused troubles. I do not seem to remember anyone making suggestions what French must do or not do, or what Germans must do or not do, or what Dutch must do or not do for that matter. So, make no mistake, Havoc's comment is clearly racist.

What you can do is not get caught up on sloppy language and terminology people on your side of the argument (your side, right?) are using - you know exactly what Havoc meant when he said what he said.

introspec: You're reading way too much into that statement, I even fixed a problem reported by another Russian (nyuk) in that same batch. So not just by context but also systematically it can be determined that I was talking to 2 specific Russian individuals. Also, to the best of my knowledge "Russians" is not a race but a term for all inhabitants of the Russian nation.

As long as you don't get into those stupid fights you'll be fine.

when people use double speak it's very hard to know what they are saying.
defending havoc makes you as guilty.

if he ment just 2 people then why didn't he say names of those 2 but made it an statement of whole nation of people.

i bet there are different kind of people in pakistan, india, china..
but it would have been clearly racist if it was one of those!

sloppy language

just by using elegant language doesn't mean you are on moral high ground.

the opinion of you Scandinavians is totally irrelevant in this discussion, 1in10!

Point taken.

Look, I do not want another drama here, but what do expect with this type of statements? Just read this again tomorrow and you'll know what I mean. Peace.

You do not want another drama? Stop talking out of your ass, that's exactly why you opened the thread :)

I am an ass and i am offended. asses are not a race, but a kind of donkey! next time, mister so-called gloperator, when you want to insult some russians, please use other kind of animals. i heard snails are much more tolerable with smothering the reputation of their species in internet dramas!
You´re russian, you´re not supposed to whine like a gay political correctness yankee!
Now make a demo, not flamewar!

@Maali: The snails are not amused!

Demoscene... this is how you respond? I'm disappointed.

As an Australian I can concur.

I'm not too offended by anything rowley birkin says - it's not like it's ever going to be important...

introspec: it clearly wasnt meant as a generalized insult towards you, it was aimed at clamping the usual flamewar drama between alone_coder and goblishnish which havoc has to read on a daily basis and is sick of (like any sane person would be). get over it.

Let see how Gargaj fulfill Havoc's permban request.

No, it clearly was not. Insulting a group of people does not make you racist. Insulting a RACE of people makes you racist.
