[quote=Anonymous]Mr. Steele, there is a forum in the real estate section regarding PG County that I believe has a few racist comments.  And frankly, as a resident of PG County, I'm feeling like perhaps I'm not welcome on this forum.  But therein lies the problem -- people come here to bash other people, to bash where they live or how they raise their children or care for their pets or what they eat, and in doing so, they not only make hurtful comments about people but they perpetuate subtle racism, which, in my view, is worse than overt racism.  I think you run the risk of your site being viewed as a white person's forum or, even worse, a wealthy white person's forum.

Perhaps you need to think seriously what this site is -- is it a resource for information, where people can ask questions and get relevant answers, or is it a place where people can say the vile, nasty, hateful things they would never dare say in their polite society upper crust inner circles and get others to join in?

I can't help but say that I sort of view this place as the mean girls site.

I also want to say that people really should learn that even though they post as "anonymous," they shouldn't be so smug as to think people won't figure out who they are and that they things they post here, however anonymous they feel they are, could hurt their real-life relationships.
