<<Oh and to the guy that wants me to post specific instances of over the line intolerant behavior which, objectively there are over a dozen really raw examples (I keep a diary)? The reason that I don't and will not is that, I view this as a forum for discussing---if quite badly---ideas and events, and not for lining up lynch posses and creating vendettas.>> "Discussing issues and ideas" involves expanding on those ideas, not throwing vitriol out there and refusing to back it up. You've essentially denigrated an entire QB format as having racist undertones -- trash comes under enough unfounded fire to let noise like that go unchallenged. The truth of the matter is trash is probably the most racially/ethnically diverse of the four major formats in terms of question content. Trash concentrates on popular, or as some would call it, "low" culture (across ethnic lines). In a trash tournament you're simply more likely to hear about Lil' Kim than Marian Anderson, or Jackie Chan rather than Chen Kaige. That's the nature of the trashy beast, and if you view that as racist, it's due to your own baggage. --Greg
