Ferfal, were you once a moderator on that web site? I believe we communicated at least through posts. AKA Pauliepaul if you remember?
Yes, I remember.
And yes, I was a Mod at Frugal's.
When Catholics got attacked I checked with John and his reply to me was that Catholicism was, and I quote, “unacceptable with even a casual reading of the scriptures.” and he also said that we where going to hell. Seemed very sure about it, as if he had the power to make that decision himself.
I double checked with him via email, after asking him in the Mod forum. Same reply, about two lines long. After years of contribution, that’s all the respect I got from him.
Then, I asked to be removed from the “Team Frugal” ( moderator) since I didn’t feel comfortable with belonging to such a team since I found out what it meant. Not only did I get removed form the “Team”, which I asked, but I got my account erased and unable to reregister as a bonus as well( isn’t that called banned? ).
I can’t help to feel a bit of guilt thought, should have left earlier when I saw all the racism going on. During the Catholic bashing days, a black lady member said that she constantly read racist remarks on Fruglas.
A moderator ( one of the wise “behinds”) had the nerve to ask her to list those threads.
The lady replied to the post five minutes later with a dozen racist post she found, all posted in the last week. I wanted to puke, felt so ashamed.
As a Mod, I did my best to stop the racism going on there, only to get told to shut up.
This is a waste of band, but I’m SURE someone will post right after me, saying it’s all a lie. If anything good can come out of this, is for honest, good people to know what FS is all about.
I once replied to one of the many racist posts against blacks, calling it for what it was, to what John Maniatti, the owner of Frugal’s, replied:
"FerFAL, I have enjoyed your posts over the last year however you are not qualified to speak into this situation. Race is a major issue in our nation that needs to be discussed in a rational manner. The 'black' culture is a disproportionate part of the miseries this nation finds itself in. The proof is in the stats and the problem is only getting worse. The reasons are irrelevant as it can't be changed in our political system. So take a deep breath and let us work through one of our Republics' major problems.
Thank you."
How did I get a hold of this piece since I’m banned? Well, just to prove my point about racism in FS, I found it while doing a google search. Turns out this was over at the largest white supremacy forum on the net. They seem to like John and Frugal’s there.
The WS forum member that posted the above quote added:
”I think that's a damn good post.”
Turns out many white supremacists enjoy FS. We found out about it, CJM can back up what I’m saying, he read it all just like I did.
John said that we would wait until ALL the WS where out of the closet so we could ban them all at the same time… guess what?
NONE of the white supremacists got banned! Even though they kept on posting racist remarks against black people.
FS violates it’s own rules against racism, just as it lies when they say it’s a “Christian” forum.
So please, spare me the “FS is not a racist forum”. It is, I know, and there’s the evidence, there’s more if anyone wants to waste more time going through google.
The quote I provide is 100% truth, as well as the reply by the white supremacists, anyone that doesn’t believe me can search a piece of it through the ws forum and see for themselves.
Mods, sorry for the rant, just want the trust to be known. Fed up of all the cheating and blunt lies.
FerFAL
