Normal people have largely stopped posting here, and the occasional figure in the poker community that expresses slight interest in this site quickly thinks better of it.

Filtering out a couple words doesn't fix the problem, it's still Stormfront-lite and embarrassing to be associated with.

I think Sonatine might be unfair in saying that you expressly share these viewpoints, but I can see how it comes off that way when it's the culture that you singularly have fostered. That's probably why people look at you funny when you try to explain yourself. It's like your house is occupied by maniacs smearing shit on the walls, and now nobody else wants to come over. You didn't partake in the shit smearing, but lol dude it's still your house.
Pussification is the last thing we need though.
