ooger posted... Pro-tip: It turns out better when you disavow racists instead of being a big ole coward about it.
First of all, I do disavow racists, and I said a many times I don't agree with their political views, and if all the personal anedoctes are true, it's disgusting. I publically and unequivocally disavow all forms of prejudice.
With that said I'm certainly not a coward. I continue to stand by my initial statement which is anyone can join my communities so long as they behave themselves. It's a cryptocurrency board/discord, as long as they chat about Crypto and not politics I'm not gonna act. I made a commitment to moderating those communities fairly, and that's what I'll do no matter how unpopular that decision is.
Furthermore, I don't think you know what the word "coward" even means. I had this entire board and most of GameFaqs on my ass, including some mods, because I refused to ban them. People still follow me around and harass me due to this decision. It would be very easy for me to just cave in to pressure and ban them, it would get you all off my butt, and probably bring alot of folks back to the Crypto Community that use to be very active. However, doing so would mean I'd have to go against my own oath I swore to moderate a fair and unbiased community.
I'm not trying to say it makes brave, or it's an admirable trait, but it certainly doesn't make me a coward.
You can call this a false equivalency or whatever. But suggesting that I ban Tails & Shadow from the Discord, a community located off of GameFaqs servers, for things they said & did while here...it doesn't make any sense. That would be like someone getting banned from Twitter, and then those admins sharing their banlist with Facebook & Reddit.
That's not how the world does or should work.

Edit: with that said, my personal stance on the duo has indeed changed. I was shown enough evidence to doubt their credibility. I no longer seek to associate with them on a personal level, or seek to defend or make sense of their previous GaneFaqs behavior. Adding
@Machete to the mod team and setting up an alternative Discord was part of the rebuilding process.
