Offensive Review Removed
22 Apr 2009 10:26 pmThe inflammatory review from the unregistered user 'The mysterious nobody' has been removed. And I'd like to thank my champions: corbye, irishredlass69, lady_karelia, beffeysue, bloodcult, melusin_79, and dickglouster for their support and excellent advice. I was unaware that I could remove it myself. I was under the impression that FFnet didn't allow that, but as the cowardly reviewer is unregistered it was only a few mouse-clicks to do away with it.
I must admit, I was a bit amused by this. I had no idea that being called black was an insult, or that race had any bearing on writing ability.
But then, perhaps I just don't get it, because clearly I don't understand the reviewer either. Regardless, it was petty and bigoted, but now it's gone. Though I rather suspect that the troll reviewer has accomplished their mission by getting people to talk about it.
Please accept my apologies if anyone was offended, I should have been more diligent in removing it the moment it was submitted. But now that I know how to do so, I will endeavor to delete any such future reviews in a timely manner. Simply put, racist crap like this just doesn't have any place in my fandom.
( It's not worth it, but if you must, it's here. )
