Take a look at the forums guys: A very brief look will show that threads started by the Poon squad tend to be relevant, or useful to the community. Apart from that the only posts I've seen from them are defending against accusations from other people.

This brings me to two points: 1 "the community" in general has nothing to say either way about the "public image" of the Poon squad, there is a vocal minority who seem to have taken offence. The 2nd is that I and many others find all of the spam posts from other people and clans (including this spam post) much more irritating, offensive and censor-worthy than the existence of the Poon Squad and the humour they use.

Perhaps you could turn your impotent rage in the direction of the people who clutter this forum with junk; it still wouldn't achieve anything, but at least I wouldn't feel obliged to stand up in their defence.

The sheer amount of people speaking out against the Poon Squad pretty well debunks this.

in america black people are a "vocal minority" remember that. Also for the millionth time VIRTUALLY NOONE KNOWS ABOUT THE FORUM

no one calls black people a 'vocal' minority. a minority, yes, but not a vocal one.

they were in the 60's. Oh and our black people won't shut up in Australia (note how I am not very sympathetic)

find me at least 3 first hand documents from the 60s calling black people a vocal minority.

*edit no response? i didnt think so, thomas.

Eclipse - out of the hundreds of thousands of people that play Warlight, it's the SAME 8 or 9 people who spam the forums with Poon hate. Thank you Nostance for being the only sane person here.

If it was just some silly minority group that had an issue with the Poon Squad than Fizzer wouldn't of threatened to ban you guys more than once.

It was only once and it was only because you guys all made a stink about us at the same time and you won't stop until you get your way.

I am amazed it took you that long to work it out.

Why is this forum filled with racists and homophobes?

You're too liberal with the word racist and homophobe...and "filled with".

You know what a vocal minority is, yes?

It's probably the same vocal minority that reports us every chance they get.

I suspect "Mr. Cherry" is trolling. Or else isn't aware of the irony in his name.

I also suspect everyone is 14 years old.

Says the guy called "Mercenary". Popular name with the Xbox Kids that. :)

No, not trolling. being honest. Unlike PS who are trying to treat us like idiots every step of the way.

It may seem like a "Minority" group but when it comes to the forums that's a lot of players. Not all that play frequent the forums, but all that play may eventually come here.

Do we want a clan like PS to be their first introduction? For them to assume that it's normal to be like them around here?

Things the Poon Squad is vocally against:

Racism
Sexism
Homophobia
Xenophobia
Transphobia

Things the Poon Squad supports:

Having fun
Working together
Thoughtful forum discussion

But because we have a different sense of humor, people like Mr. Cherry think WE'RE the ones that are a detriment to the community.

Your denial that you want to cause a reaction is enough when all you do is attempt to make that reaction. You troll. If you didn't do the childish trolling side and just did the nice side then there would be 0 issues between yourselves and those in the community who have spoken against you.

You forgot to add to your "Supports" section:

Vulgarity.
Things that make people feel sick.
Acting "Ignorant" of what you are doing.

Different =/= Acceptable.

History taught us that.

ESPECIALLY THESE.
Is it really that hard to change your names and icons to something non-vulgar? I mean, we are ok with you having a different sense of humour (at least I am) but don't force the othrs, who might be disgusted with your names/icons (like me) to watch them.

You guys really seem to think that making yourselves out to be some kind of social justice warriors makes you immune to criticism.

But because we have a different sense of humor, people like Mr. Cherry think WE'RE the ones that are a detriment to the community.

Just because you like something doesn't mean everyone else wants to see it. The type of vulgar humor isn't allowed (Or wanted quite apparently) here. Everything has it's place, the place for your style of humor isn't here.

We never said we were vigilantes Eclipse. Just that our mindset of inclusion, to most rational people, would be considered beneficial to a community. And who are you to say what is or isn't allowed here. Given that you guys report us on the reg and only one player's name was changed, I'd say our clan name and user names are within the rules. So you might as well get used to it.

Mr Cherry, we don't try to cause a reaction. Everything we post is something legitimate to do with WarLight, or something defending ourselves against people like you who are constantly attacking us.

Also, "different =/= acceptable"? Sounds like it's coming right out of Hitler's mouth.
