GPF very sorry to hear about the fire, I hope
everything works out okay for you.
Since Lonely Noob felt the need to bother you
with this I kept your name in my reply.
Cypher I added you to the email because you
deserved to see this.
The 1st question I asked myself is why you played
on our server using the name "Bob Weaddababyitsaboy" and not your normal
name.
As for the "Racial and
rude comments", I don't agree with everything Clan Killa says, but you're
taking it out of context.
He was actually talking to Projxtshadow
when he made the comment "working like a nigger and getting paid like a
Mexican"
You may not know but Projxtshadow was a
member of MOB and what Clan said was partially in reference to a old
joke between those two.
As for your "personal issues with Cypher", maybe
I'm wrong but I don't consider you calling him a cheat and kicking him from
the server as a "personal issues with Cypher". I don't know what exactly
happen between you an Cypher, to tell you the truth I don't care.
As for how Clan handled the guy complaining about
the mod, in my opinion he went easy on him.
Anyone who stays on the server after complaining
about the mod we use is nothing but a waste of our time and a disturbance to
everyone else playing.
In the beginning , I use to be nice and try
to explain what our mod was, and why we used equal
weapons.
Now if someone complains about the mod I let them
know they're free to go elsewhere. If the person continues to bash
the mod we use, I kick them without giving
it a second thought.
As for your concern about people getting offended
by "working like a nigger and getting paid like a Mexican"
Do I like the word nigger? NO. Do I think people
in our society go a little overboard on the idea of political correctness?
YES
As I said before it all comes down to context. I
myself am not concerned or offended by what he said. I would have a different
opinion if he was calling someone that. I would have to laugh at anyone who
was offended by the use of the word Mexican.
If someone is offended by calling someone from
Mexico a Mexican, are the also offended by calling someone from Canada a
Canadian?
For those who are so easily offended by a little
use of profanity, or by that statement. I would suggest they find another
server to play on. There are plenty of servers which have strict rules about
the language allowed on the server, MOB isn't one of them.

Gentlemen,
Normally I would forward something like this to
gpf and let him handle it from there, but I am sure he is much too busy
considering the recent fire at his residence.
Anyway, please view the four screenshots I took
while playing on MOB #2 a few ago.
I was personally offended by Clan Killa's
reference to both the Black and Hispanic race's. I will concede that I was
not offended by his language with reference to another player
leaving because he doesnt like the realism mod, but it was extremely
rude. And I'm sure you would agree that one member's actions can, and often
does, reflect on the whole clan.
Now, I can appreciate that because of my
personal issues with Cypher my opinion may or may not be respected over
there. I know he has managed to turn Ateurnus and 99SVTCobra against me, and
for all I know he may be trying (or succeeding) in turning the rest of
you against me as well. But you have to ask yourself the following question.
If I were to post the attached screenshots on some mohaa forums, would
others be offended. If the answer is yes, then perhaps some action should be
taken.
Anyway, thought you might be
interested.
I will trust you to do what you think is
right.
Sincerely, A Lowly
Noob
