Am I to assume that the businesses who sponsor this site are aware of the level of racism and stupidity of nearly inconceivable magnitude that routinely appear on this site and deliberately choose to subsidize it?

I appreciate your post and welcome to the site. Certainly we would have deleted any post that contained racial comments or slurs. Your definition of what is offensive may very well be different than ours, judgment certainly comes into play.

Please understand moderating a public internet site is very difficult. We can destroy this site if we over-moderate it. Over moderation will cause our members to leave and kill the great conversations that sometimes take place on this site. Things have gone too far lately with personal attacks and threads being taken over and we are watching the content of our thread much more closely than we have in the past.

If you are anyone finds a thread or post to be offensive I encourage you to use the triangle button in the upper right hand corner of each post which will report the post to all three moderators and myself for our review and consideration.
