Nate handled this unban improperly (after reading this he was most definitely not sober while this whole thing was going on), but some of these responses TO nate have also been bad. This one was the worst one I saw, with no disrespect intended to Bryan, I just wish this one wasn't even here:

He never once stated that he was "racist to other races besides whites." This wouldn't make sense as this man is a Pacific Islander I believe? Bryan, I'm kind of disappointed that you drew this conclusion from this statement, it's a huge leap.
Yes, I could see the argument that Nate is an asshole to most of you quite extensively. However, look at it from another perspective. This is the INTERNET, and more specifically a GMOD COMMUNITY; I'm not saying we should always indulge in toxicity, but sometimes people do really need to have a backbone with "insults" going on and what not. Nate is without a doubt one of the most unfiltered people that we've had in this community in recent times, but he always made things interesting. When you lose people with these kinds of unique characters, the community takes a hit in a negative way. Why, you might ask? If your community is full of nobody but people with sticks up their asses, the amount of fun you can actually have in the game/server/community is immensely limited.
Not that this is entirely relevant, but look at how much this community has changed for the worse since Jesse left. Jesse had a unique character that made playing the game interesting. Ape Gang did the same thing. Now they're all gone too.
Now, I'm not saying we should full outright UNBAN him immediately, but I do believe the Discord team should consider a reduction.
My vote is for a +1 for a reduction to 2 months.
Also Nate, I get Jammin is literally the definition of someone having a stick up their ass (at times), but you still have to at least PRETEND to be kissing ass during an appeal lmao
*EDIT*
Also, one more thing. I'm not entirely sure if everyone understands this, but racism is where one shows GENUINE hatred to another due to their race. Making comments like "typical white answer" is not racist. Change that wording to "cracker" and you've got yourself anti-white racism. Cracking ironic joke comments and being serious are two different manners. Should Nate make these kinds of comments as much as he does? Probably not, but they're funny once in a while so I usually can overlook this. Calling it racism is a reach though. Just my final thought on the manner.

So you're saying that you are racist to others who aren't white? Clearly, you shouldn't be allowed in this community if this is what you believe."
