HoodedAngel69 is my room mate Rhonda, who saw that I chatted here, knew that it was a Russian forum, and wanted to ask this question about her boyfriend Peter. Instead she is mocked and her thread is locked. Thanks alot guys, you really confirmed in her mind that black people arent welcome. I tried to convince her of the opposite but today I see that perhaps she was right. I told her I would not submit the question myself because I already told her to dump Peter, because I suspect he was just using her for sex and lying about the whole family issue. I was already aware of the whole ip issue, so this comes as no surprise to me, the only thing that is surprising is the the discrimination.

I apologize for locking the thread. I honestly thought that it was a prank. Had I know that it was your roommate, I would have never locked it. I seriously thought that it was Jorge playing a joke on the of WTR members.

I am sorry your friend feels unwelcome here and discriminated upon. It was not my intention to make her feel that way, and I'm sure no one else meant to make her feel that way.

If you are reading this Rhonda, I am truly sorry for my actions. You are not unwelcome here at all. No one is unwelcome here because of who or what they are. If you would like, I will unlock the thread and delete all of the posts, except your original one, and we can start over again.

I would also like to make it clear that I did not discriminate anyone because of their race. If it came off that way, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I think everyone here, if they know me well enough, would know that I would never discriminate anyone because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.; it is just not in my nature.

So, how do you know if more than 1 person is using the same IP address? One person with more than 1 account or several people using the same computer?

I bet they'v got a special admin console inaccessible to mere mortals. ip addr is displayed there, there is also 'lock', 'delete', 'ban' buttons and all this stuff.

What is all this? Are you trying to prove that you are not only homophobic, but a racist as well?

Is it now trend to vaguely accuse forum member in everything without bothering even to explain?
