That forum probably needs a "has shown reliable consideration of others" requirement or some such in addition to being of age.

True.

We have to learn from past experiences.

So much this.

So in short, I'm not eligible to join?

You haven't been here long enough so, at this point, no.

For other criteria, let's just see how the situation evolves.

And, for the record, I'm speaking for myself here, not for the staff.

From the rules, minimum 60 posts and 60 days of membership are required. I've met those requirements.

Apologies.

I didn't check my facts.  I've only been seeing your posts recently.

Then yes, you do qualify under those criteria.

How do I apply?

I just want a quick glimpse of it before I decide to join. Are there any other criteria I'm unaware of other than providing ID with photo and year of birth?

It's your problem, not theirs if you feel afflicted by racial slurs such as 'nigger' anyway.

Lol, man up and accept racism? Tolerate overt racism? No, no, no my man. You got the wrong motherfucker for that.

The entire reason I mess with you is your racism. You literally said to me in Slack "I am surprised that you're so well mannered and intelligent" after you found out I am black. You might think it's my problem if you call me a nigger, but let me tell you, that story goes another way in real life.

You are comfortable behind your keyboard, and so I will be comfortable behind my keyboard.

Wow. I trust he's been removed from slack?

I left on my own. I was sick of people presuming, undermining my dignity, calling me robot, joking beyond me about stealing my works and underestimating the truth that I'm a NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER - English is my first language.

Now I've to reiterate the whole story as most people overlooked my earlier comments to SteelCurtain:

"You're mistaken.


Being an Indian, I was paranoid about white supremacy and racism and how I felt excluded and left out in the predominantly white society.

I've many black, brown, yellow as well as white friends and I don't discriminate them with racism - not even once in a lifetime.

I think it's to do with your misunderstanding.

You just need to let go of it!

.............

SteelCurtain, let me tell you one thing.

The reason why I seemed to have a racist undertone when appreciating your character long back in Slack and messing with you, was how insulted I was when you constantly presumed that English is not my first language. English is definitely my first language - I'm a native English speaker."
