I guess I just don't care most of the time. If I knew him in real life I'd probably like him less, but on the net it's easier to compartmentalize parts of a person's personality that you don't like. So unless he's actually being racist I'm kind of indifferent. Maybe I'm a bad person, but being a good person is for losers anyway.
