The following is my opinion:
I was a longtime silent board monitor prior to registering and posting. When I was reading pages of topics, I found that the BGLO rooms' race discussions, while lively and sometimes heated, were usually respectful.
On the other hand, when I looked at race discussions in the general rooms, I was repelled because they turned into flame wars. I'm close to 40 and have dealt with prejudice and racism in my own life.
I do admit, however, that much of the flaming was brought on by gutless, UNREGISTERED users, which doesn't happen nowadays because John blocked unregistered folks from posting.
