The offensiveness filter that doesn't exist yet? Or the on-topic filter that doesn't block racist/anti-Semitic posts?
I really think that this should be a high priority (see GTO's comments on my thread about the racist posts a few days ago). This board loses a lot of respectability because there are so many crazed racists and anti-Semites here, and because there's no way to filter it.

I meant that although the racist stuff exists "on topic," it is greatly reduced.
And I agree with the rest of your post.

I defy you to find one person that thinks the quality of posters right now is as good or better than it has been in the past.
Im not saying we need more people, just that we need *different* people. This place has turned into a wasteland.

Did you read the post, douchebag? Volokh thinks we're engaged in fucking public service!!
"Providing a forum for these posts, in a context where they can be quickly responded to, may actually be something of a public service."

Great point, dickbag.
However, despite the rave review, the links that people who never have heard of this place will click on are racist garbage. What do you think that does to the reputation?
Big picture. Look at it.

waitaminute! are you concerned with the xoxo rep? for fuck's sake -- they don't call it the "most prestigious" board for nothing.
i mean, you weren't planning on including "xoxo poster" on your resume, were you?

Show me an op-ed piece in the NYT and I'll consider worrying about what I post here (not that I'm one of the anti-semetic posters, because I'm not, but regardless).

No offense, but notice how this only gets attention when it is anti-semetic. The racist posts here far exceed the anti-semetic posts.
Plus, I think the Jews out-number the anti-semites on this board 10 to 1.

Yes, I read what he wrote. Even mentioning that the anti-semitism on this board is at the same level as the racism is absurd. To be sure, both appear too frequently, but racism dominates.
I know he was not saying one is more common over the other, but I would contend that the racist threads are much worse here than the anti-semite threads.

Correct.
The difference in format probably explains quite a bit of why LSD is so much, well, slower-witted than this board.

I don't see anything wrong w/ Volokh's post -- the bad quote is from a law professor colleague, and as other's pointed out, Volokh's response is *very* even handed and even positive.
That said, we will be emailing Volokh shortly.

Educated, uneducated, northern, southern, eastern, western, liberal, conservative, cultured, backwoods, rich, poor.
In all groups you're going to find a lot of people that hate blacks and/or Jews.

I grew up in a liberal college town in the upper midwest, not too many jews, fewer blacks.
I was unprepared, as a 1L, for just how annoying jews are. On the other hand, I've developed some strong friendships with the several blacks at my school.

My question is whether these posts reflect the genuine opinions of racists, or if it's just bastards taking advantage of the anonymity of the internet to be offensive.
It's annoying as hell either way, but I like to pretend (because of my faith in mankind) that it's the latter rather than the former.

Its the latter. I doubt there are many genuine racists here.
But there are a lot of people who, armed with facts about LSAT scores from Grutter, have developed opinions about the overall quality of minorities in their particular school.

But not I think clearly wrong about racism being dead in terms of stopping the admissions of minorities.
Agree with the rest of your comments re: surprise at the level of racism/anti-semitism, makes me wonder what these people are like in real life.
