Left this place : https://www.fujix-forum.com/ once the fellow who started it began promoting covid misinformation and condoned racist posts.

No thanks.

Agreed. I couldn’t remember which site it was but after checking it’s that site I left. They were rude and unhelpful. Sadly some Moderators think their opinion is more valid than anyone else’s and are in a position to push it. I won’t be going back there.

Guys, let's give it a rest, please. This discussion is very OT and frankly marginal at best.

Thanks in advance. Please don't make me "lock 'em up" yet again.

[chuckle]

Priceless. There's a lot more than gear support that's going to be missed from this place.

Just saying. .

Hi Liggy, I've been there a fair while and don't recall any racism kicking off. I'd like to know if there was so I can avoid the instigator. Re. Covid, there was a whole topic sectioned away for that. I got bored of it remarkably quickly so never kept in with it. I therefore missed any misinformation. Can you summarise both of the above in a nutshell?

Fwiw, it's in new ownership now, though the original owner still hangs around as a sort of compere. Strange setup.

Aside from DPR, that's my main forum for Fuji stuff. I've not seen anything dodge there apart from the usual - but far from frequent - male gaze stuff (and accompanying innuendo and nudge nudge wink wink), and a very occasional bit of animal cruelty masquerading as sport. Others may view things differently.

Robert even deleted our PM exchanges where I pointed out the worst examples on the racist posts. One of the other mods I contacted about it confirmed that there was a lot of that going on.

It’s funny that the “mah freedumb” crowd often cannot handle dissent.

I’ll pm you the screen name of the worst offender on the racist stuff. It took place on one of the Chinese vs. Japanese Fuji quality threads and involved some offensive remarks about Chinese women.

I pointed out to Robert when reporting that post that if the poster would say those exact words in Chinatown he would get a serious beat down.

On a different thread I argued that condoning that kind of stuff was akin to hanging a big confederate flag in front of your bar. Not a place I would care to patronize. Robert felt is was fine and a freedom of speech issue I gave up.

Robert was fine with it even though Jonathan and another mod clearly saw that the posts were stereotypically racist and misogynist.

The covid thing was pretty amazing - Robert went full on anti government anti Faucci and was promoting hydroxychloroquine heavily with all kinds of sham studies and stories from ultra right wing misinformation sources like The Epoch Times, Newsmax and more.

Ironically at that time he changed his signature to something along the lines of “seeker of truth”.

I just took a look at my pm inbox and all of my pms with the other mods have been deleted too. Crazy.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the new owners expunged much of the worst stuff I doubt VS would want to be a site seen as friendly to that virulent promotion of misinformation.

"Racist" is a relative term. I've never heard a concrete definition of it that all agree to. And COVID? I loved it when the left cried "racist" when it was called "The China virus" because that's where it came from and obviously from a lab. I loved pointing out that Chia is not a "Race", it's a country. Had it been called "The Asian virus", that could be called a race statement.

Ok dude - you do you. You enjoy your bleach cocktail and sunshine enema and I’ll have a baby blood Bloody Mary.



We may both get banned here but the 10th is almost here anyway. Cheers!

Jerry or I may consider deleting both the posts. Just have your cocktails and chill.

See Jerry, nothing to fret over, he didn't attempt to claim China is a race of people because there is no rational argument to support that, so we agree after all.

All we need to “agree” on is that this sort of discussion has no place in this forum. It is totally OT. Drop it now, please… final warning.
