I concur, but it's probably more fun to delete and quash each attempt. After a few, he'll probably move on, frustrated!
I'm sure it's like whack-a-mole. But how many moles can you possibly have? A few of those would be fun. But some thing tells me you have more than just a couple.
Cheers!

Hi
This [^] article has a comment by Ravi Bhavnani that links to another article, but the URL seems to have not been updated. When this link is clicked, I get the page not found message, not the "likely location is" page...
Thanks
Chandra

What do you think if we have a security forum on the codeproject and I think it will be helpful for us.

If there is enough interest, then yes

Does the beta chart of "Article page views by day" include spider probes? If it does, is there any way to not include those? On many of my articles, the chart looks like a sine curve.

Ok maybe I'm blind, but where can I find that chart 
Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

There has been a worrying rise in the number of racial slurs appearing on CP lately, and extraordinarily not in the Soapbox. Worse yet, the cult of personality is clearly in effect as these comments are never stamped on or treated with the derision they deserve.
I've heard the "It's just my sense of humour" excuse, and this just doesn't cut the mustard: what we have here is plain, old-fashioned bigotry. It needs to be stopped.

It's probably meant with sincerity because what I've found is that many people who are inherently racist do not know this and think they are just being humorous. That's why they get mad and jump at you if you casually suggest that perhaps their joke wasn't really so funny and how it may have been a tad on the racist side.

Vote the messages as inappropriate and reply with a simple "that's inappropriate". If the behaviour continues I'll step in, but I would also like the community to self-police in a mature manner.

Nice willing, but the problem is that it implies common sense from all users and... I better don't continue

What follows next? No more jokes that depend on a punchline like "I wished for a chick with a big ass?" No more threads about overweight men? No more criticism of radical muslims when they become suicide bombers as an expression of religious freedom? And no use of language like "illegal aliens," right?
I agree sometimes the jokes are hurtful and sometimes it's legit to question whether the attempt to be humorous is only an excuse. But I don't see how Chris can spend all day making sure everything that's said doesn't offend anyone. Humor requires someone to be the butt of a joke. If you can laugh at a dumb blonde joke, you shouldn't cry at a dumb Pole joke.

It's the blatantly offensive comments such as "Offering a ham sandwich to a starving Muslim" and "[Is there] Intelligent life in India" I object to.
There is a world of difference between discussion and criticism on immigration, radicalised Islam, politics, religion etc. and those examples I gave above. The two are not in the slightest bit the same.

That's the kind of excuse the likes of Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson and Roy "Chubby" Brown used when they went on stage and talked about "Thieving Pakis" and "Stupid Blacks". Not in the slightest bit funny, and deeply offensive. You'll notice how the "someone" morphs into an entire race of people very easily.

Well I'm going to follow his advice above. I expect I'll get flamed. A lot. But at least I'll have contributed something worthwhile to the site.

It's also the 'kind of excuse' used by Aristophanes, Moliere, and G.B. Shaw when they were criticised for their outrageous (to someone) comedy.

I suggest to enable searching for members by Location to allow developers to get in contact with their civilians, colleague friends, find jobs , etc.

Sorry, It seems I did not express myself well
I do not want private info
Just searching by location to find all persons from my country
No more ...
I can easly know the location of every one while reading his article or message by clicking on his name, (e.g. you are from Canada) which means that this info is not secret
And few months ago you was enabling searching by member name
So, What is the problem in enabling searching by location

You originally said you wanted this to connect with people in your area. Now you're just curious? Yes, we list our country, but privacy laws protect HOW this data is accessed.
Does it matter what I write here? Someone just has to say something about it.
