Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight.
Personally I would prefer they fix the Deathnitive edition, especially the Gog version which is currently unplayable, before releasing a remastered version of the first one.
Several problems with your assertion by association with that "meme":

1. The more precise definition of bigotry is stubbornness regarding an exclusionary philosophy targeted against a group defined by its state of being (racism, sexism, homophobia, antisemitism, Islamophobia). It does not normally encompass political views. If it did, anyone who opposed National Socialism so vehemently would be, by that definition, a bigot. You see the inherent problems.

2. The loudest individual is not necessarily the bigot. A bigot could sit there and feign the moral high ground by calmly and prattling off conspiracy theories about Jews, Muslims and feminists. That doesn't make one less of a bigot, but rather simply a more talented debater.

3. Bradley hasn't been simply debating the concept of "redefining marriage" or any such equivalents in terms of racial, religious or sexual orientation debate. He has, on several occasions, called for the death and persecution of individuals solely on the basis of their sexual orientation or religion. Trying to portray him as a victim of some "anti-bigotry bigotry" by implying that his views have somehow been misunderstood is disingenuous at best, and I honestly expected better from you.

You forgot to mention transphobia, which the user in question has engaged in.

For that end; any means are justifiable am I right?

You're trying to harass people off the forum.

I don't want him to leave, I just want him to change his avatar. He does and he never hears a word from me again.

And to an extent using that avatar could be seen as his attempt to harass people into the leaving the forum. Would you hang out somewhere where signs were posted that people wanted you dead?

If my will is an open forum where users shouldn't feel threatened and harassed just by logging on, then damn right I am.

Godspeed then! Anything for cause X!

I'm in here arguing with someone for openly promoting genocide and he makes it sound like I'm pissed at him for an overdue library book. :P

Bradley is openly calling for violence nadm urder against other people based on their ethnic background or sexual orientation. I know you're one of the brave freedom fighters of the Gamergate thread, but are really that much of a wretched asshole to defend something like that?

Ah, wait, I think we already know the answer to that.

Is he calling for violence though? AFAIK he just says ''must'' and ''should''. I think that nazi guy once posted a pic requesting people to ''burn their local mosque''' though. Then again, I might be ignoring what Bradley's been saying recently since I think most of his posts are kinda the same with ''foreigners, gays and cannibals'' thing he keeps on repeating.

As to defending, where exactly did I defend anyone? But I've also never seen anyone challenging Bradley to a debate but only keep on repeating ''racist'' over and over again like that will somehow change his mind. And just because someone is (more or less) objectively wrong doesn't mean its right to disregard their opinion, which is what the GG thread was mostly about aswell though I know you probably don't see it that way (but hey, you don't see me harassing you do you?).

Sorry I didn't see this.

Hey, you seem to care a lot about forum ''saftey'' seeing all the things you do for it so I thought you going against that principle was ''anything''.

The promotion / calling for genocide / violence needs to be discussed though. I still don't think Bradley's posts were as close to inciting as those cartoons posted by that nazi guy.
