His trolling is making the site look like a racist website.
If it goes a little further, we could all lose our jobs if it were found out we were associated with it.

It's also hateful and unfunny.

You are utterly utterly losing it my friend!

I think he has a point.
There are times when this message board looks like a very unpleasant place, and there are a number of views expressed* that I'm not that comfortable about being associated with.

*maybe in jest, but it's not always easy to tell

Even if they are not the views of the poster,
those views are expressed!
That's what words are!
It wouldn't be okay to spraypaint racist remarks on a wall in jest.

Perhaps,
but what you are doing with that comparison is ignoring the context. There is quite clearly a non-serious atmosphere about the place, whereas a public wall is not in a non-serious context.

This is a public website.
All the time there are racist-looking posts on the board we are turning away nice people or, worse, attracting real racists.

Well, then,
don't fucking visit it at work!

b3ta has, for as long as I've been a member at least, and presumably for as long as you've been a member, featured a large quantity of material that would be awful if it were not in this context. Bad taste/sick jokes are all over the bloody place. There are a lot of far worse things posted on the picture board than on /talk.

If you think you would lose your job for visiting b3ta at work, then take some responsibility for your own actions and don't visit it at work.

If you dont like it then click ignore
And those views you find offensive wont be displayed, if you dont want to ignore then you have no right to complain

This is flawed
because I'm worried for the whole site, not just my blood pressure.
edit: and my name still appears on it for everyone else to see.
