"Holocaust" is a word that is typically used to portray one event in human history, most people don't refer to a slaughter of things as a holocaust, like for example, the Armenian Genocide.

From my experience, when I was "new" to the server, I didn't think Dark Men of Odus was racist at all, or trying to insinuate anything. It seemed like a Erudite RP guild so I didn't engage with them because I wasn't into RP.

So would Alex Afrasiabi be racist because his character's name was Furor? If you don't know who that is, he was the GM of the original Fires of Heaven, and now works for Blizzard.
Holocaust: Destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war.

Includes but is not limited to, just like it immediately brings to mind wwII. Again, this just underscores the other point about semantics and ambiguity being the name of the game.

I also thought the same about DMO and even considered joining until I recognized certain players were in it who were consistantly active.

The judge and jury keep the server running. The rest of us, most being no more than witnesses, all have different accounts of what happens here.

I've never interacted with Alex Afrasiabi in game or IRL, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions mat. I have interacted with these players however. So you see, it's this mat with really only one conclusion that I can jump to.

That said, this isn't the plot of Minority Report, where team good guys predicts and hunts down all racist people everywhere. Because, even if that were possible, most everyone would be guilty to some extent. But when confronted directly with questionable behavior, it's worthwhile to raise questions, even if that means being trolled in the process. The only ones who know the answer are those who were punished and, to a lesser extent, those who punished them.

Maybe that's what *barks* meant all along, if we could speak dog.

A better example than the previous metaphor, though connotation won't make sense of "our ass is in the jackpot", context still explains the ruling.
