My favorite parts are the exact text I wrote for our main page, and the sitemap where they were too lazy to copy over our header images so they just left it screwed up looking.

Forgive me if I am wrong, and I do no mean to offend. I don't think HRBrendon was out to offend. From what he wrote in his post I believe he was reffering to the situation with India and Pakistan. I read and re-read his statement and I don't believe it is an attack against Pakistan. Again, I may be wrong, its just my observation.

True enough. It would appear that this business is hosted by a Canadian anyway, but the real issue at hand is one of business and not his ethnic background.

I feel the joke at Pakistan's expense was in bad taste too. War, conventional or nuclear, and the suffering that results is nothing to make light of.

EDIT: A quote from a wise Canadian:

"never attack the individual. We can be in total disagreement with someone without denigrating them as a consequence"

Rt. Hon. P.E. Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada

(I did not agree with most of his policies but certainly respected him as an individual)

Wishful thinking?

I would retract your statement, as this is not indicative of a representative of a hosting company publicly stating an assumption of a horrific event.

There are many that don't see the humor, and if it was not meant to be a comedic point, then in all seriousness your comment was offending.

EX: Considering your position with Hostrocket, as a representative Hostrocket might not even in business next year with your statements.

It would offend any normal civilised natured human being irrespective of ethinic background, and especially on such highly visited board like wht.

Like Samual said if hostrocket wanna stay in business, they should refrain from such audacious remarks.

But then again who knows maybe hostrockets thinking is of that nature.

I totally agree with you, his post reflects a highly biased nature against people of other cultures.

Lets e-mail them with "omg hostrocket lamers stole your design!"

Hostrocket is made by pixlebrick, so are they gonna get some kind of legal action? I would love to see what their legal advisor would say. If you look at the packages on the front page, they completely differ from the packages offered when you actually get to the ordering page. Powered by paypal naturally.

So all pakistanies are plagerists?
Is that what you're getting at?

Seriously?

That's an awefully easy way around the issue, don't you think?
If the site is a ripped off web site, how do you know where those HTML comments came from? They could theoretically come from anywhere.

What if it's a rip off of a rip off? This web site is so intolarably generic, that I'd be willing to bet that anyone could find 30 other sites exactly like it with a simple search on Google.

How old is HRBrenden?

Seriously does anyone believe what CNN tells them...

Anyway no country should be mentioned at all a business is a business doesnt matter were it is based, the religion of the owner or the sexuality at that...

We should not judge on what we hear and what we see... we should never judge at all without knowing facts.

HRBrenden i believe you should edit your post mate because many of your possible customers that roam these forums would maybe judge you as a racist.

Just my .50c worth for the day/

Honestly, my post had nothing to do with sex, religion, location, race etc. and no 'judgement' was being passed. it had to do with current events and was a comment that was meant to be taken lightheartedly. If I offended anyone with it I apologize.

Bah to these simple minded comments.

I could rip off a website, and then state im American, or Nigerian, or Afghani.

Two points:

1. Dont stereotype :(
2. I am not any of the above three ... so who knows if the design ripper is truly Pakistani?

Have an open mind! :cool:

AhmedF
05-31-2002, 10:27 AM
On a second note, I am a Pakistani.


taken lightheartedly


Bugger ... its not easy to take it lightly when the two countries are at each other's throats. For the record, there are three of us that joinly own loadedweb, and one of them is an Indian hindu. We may have differences, but we get along perfectly fine.

People simply need to open their eyes and see that we are all the same :(

In all seriousness, and for what this bystander's opinion might be worth, it's as understandable for people from or connected to either the Pakistani or Indian cultures to be as upset by that kind of statement as it would be for an American to be offended by a "lighthearted" comment about September 11th by someone from another country. To people who have been living through what residents of that part of the world have been, such a thing can't be expected to be taken lightly. So while it wasn't "racist or stereotypical," yes, it was insensitive.

I realize it wasn't meant to be, but after all that's what makes insensitivity, and what differentiates it from maliciousness -- which Brendan's comment was not.

I realized this which is why I apologized to anyone I may have offended, however calling me a racist over it is a little extreme I think.

Funny. We had someone rip off one of our pages a while back and it did exactly the same thing. I suppose if people had any brains they'd be making their own sites instead of just copying other people's.

Also, Brendan's apologised now (about three times). Time to let him off the hook. We all say things at times that are taken the wrong way regardless of their intent. I'm positive he's hoping for the best as far as the crisis in India/Pakastan, as we all are. No-one wants a war.

No doubt. While inappropriate (at best), certainly not intentional. As always, there would seem to be an element that cannot let it go at that—they’re ready for a good brawl, and despite ‘numerous’ indications that it was a mistake; not an ‘intentional’ act of disrespect.

He’s already apologized twice, what more could anyone possibly want? I really don’t understand those whom insist on fueling (what has turned into) a bashing session against Brandon, and for what purpose? We all get the point!.. We all know it was wrong! Carrying this out another moment accomplishes absolutely nothing, so yes… Let’s get back to the topic.

Thanks!

Yea, Brendan said sorry, so relax! :) Anyways, we all have views on Pakistan and places like that, but this is not the place to express them. Let's go back to topic, eh?

Anyways, goto the site. Where it says enter a domain, enter one and click enter. It goes to HostRocket's SITE! LMAO They couldn't even change all the code, talk about dumb assess. I suggest legal action. I already talked to graham about this. HostRocket could make them take the site down and also get money for "damages." That pisses me off ppl do that sort of thing.

Soooo...now that we have completely lost track of the original point of this post.......what did they say to this email??? I would be very interested to see what they say....please keep us updated....

Even though Brendan's comment showed a lack in judgement, we all must understand that he has appologized and people making threats in here like he should "jump in a swiming pool" is VERY inappropriate. I suggest whoever said this appologize as well.....

We are all "professionals" here right.....

05-31-2002, 10:31 PM
Yea, everything is like copied. Some words are even exact. Goto the sitemap page. Type in an interested domain name, and press enter. It takes you to HostRocket's Order page. They couldn't even change that. Talk about dumb. I took screenshots and saved poritions of their site if needed by HostRocket, INC., to prosecute the copyright infringement suspects.

My point was that it's never funny to joke about someone's country being blown up. If you would stop and read the thread, instead of randomly commenting on it, I'm sure you'de see that. Or not, I mean it is possible that I'm

What do suicide bombs have to do with anything?
