i have recently been attacked by a forum ninja, who feels it necessary to protect his racist clan friends, i sent an email to both the webmasters at bungie and xbox.com, and sent it also to a few gaming magazines.... here is a copy of the email, tell me if i was wrong.
My name is Eric Buttner, I am a disabled vet, who finds most of my recent time completely absorbed by Halo 2. My gamertag is Saintwrath. Recently I found myself playing against someone with the name Ih8KneeGrows. Not only was the name offensive but the person with it was offensive as well. So much so the I and many others on my team all sent feedback. I was flabbergasted that someone could actually use a nic like that, and so I went on the forum and posted the following query
I am curious as to why i can see certain individuals with nics like "ih8kneegrows" still playing halo 2 on live. I and many others sent feedback regarding this individual, but these racsist morons still abound like cockroaches. ive seen people with names like whitepower, and teabagger and not only is it offensive to me, but what about those 13 yr olds, whose parents trust a good company like bungie, let thier kids play the game, and then overhear or see these cerebrally inept holistic twits? Does the feedback actually work, and if so how long does it take for the offenders to be policed? Also what is the penalty incurred by these infractions against the policy they clicked yes to? Thank you for your reply.....
the post was answered and people on it were disagreeable or agreeable, it didint matter, all i was looking for was an answer, and i recieved it. Then the last post was by a "forum ninja" named yoozel that went like this....
It is not a racial name, the player simply hates when knees grow. However you perceive it is your opinion. You are assuming that the way the name sounds is racist, but it may not be, would that make you the racist person for thinking it?
not so bad, but then he closed off my thread, also not to bad, my questions answered i was satisfied.
then another thread starts up, of course by the guy whose name and attitude offended me, whereby he was trying to explain his actions, i wouldnt have known had he not contacted me to inform me of the thread, so i could respond "to his face"
i perused it and didnt really feel the need to pursue matters any further till i noticed the forementioned "yoozel the forum ninja" on that thread as well. here was the last bit and the reason im contacting you.
Don't jump on the forums and start trying to call my clan members racists... you could have some bad karma come your way...
since then i havent been able to view my stats what can be done about this?
Thankfully Yours,
Eric Buttner, a.k.a SaintWrath
