Scapegoating

[Peh]

This has to stop.

It can't be the norm of every discussion about certain attacks around the globe to put the blame first on islam without even knowing what is going on. I've seen this way too often in the recent times on this site and mostly followed by the same people.

The consequences of such behaviour is the spread of false informations and denunciation of certain believes and groups.

The death of people is shocking to everyone and this is something I don't even have to point out, hopefully. Place blame where it is deserved. Otherwise this is just another witch hunt.

I just want to point to the forum rules:

1. Insults and flaming. Attacking other users for any reason is never acceptable.
   • You should avoid:
     • Insulting a person's religion, religious beliefs, race, sex, sexuality, nationality, political beliefs, gaming preferences, etc. Debate is encouraged, as is civil disagreement, but respect the beliefs and opinions of others.
     • Insulting any group without proper justification.
     • Using any racial or sexuality-based slurs, even if you are not using them maliciously.
     • Insulting other users, including calling them fanboys, trolls or any other name-calling.
     • Disparaging, insulting, or baiting comments about users who are not participating in the thread.
     • Making highly offensive comments about people outside the site (though greater leniency will be shown for comments about non-members).
     • Inciting abuse or harassment - of anyone. This includes attempting to discredit any user based on their preferences.
     • Similarly, avoid discussing the user who created the thread in a negative, insulting, or accusational fashion, rather than discussing the thread topic itself. If you feel a topic is baiting, trolling or rule-breaking, report it.
     • Taunting banned members (in threads or on their/other's wall).
   • All the previous rules apply to the forums as well as every other venue of this website. That includes User Walls, Personal Messages, Game Walls, and the like.
   • Moderators will look at overt discrimination very harshly. Blatant forms of racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other sort of hatred towards a group of people(s) will not be tolerated, and will be met with firm moderation.

 

I beg the mods for a more stricter observation of such behaviour.
