Let's end this one here as this has clearly gone far enough.
Reiss - one thing I hope you've learnt from this is that the game dev community is extremely small, and once you've burnt bridges it's extraordinarily difficult to find your way back into it. If you wanted to reconcile any of that or to appear in any way professional, your responses in this thread have derailed those aims for what is now the sixth or seventh time. I've no doubt you'll appear again under another pseudonym, so here are some tips that you should probably remember:
1) Humility and honesty goes a long way; this community has a generally level playing field and everyone is assumed somewhat equal. Some members of the boards have shipped millions of units on the games that they've worked on, others haven't so much as made a complete playable level. We know as well as you do that you're fairly amateur on those scales, so it pays to remain humble.
2) If you want people to believe that you're well-informed, intellectual, and kind and dear, then it pays to act like it. Throwing hate speech and insults at everyone you come across at the first sign of conflict only demonstrates the exact opposite; a person who is intellectual, kind and dear does not do any of these things. If you want to rebuke an argument as an intellectual, do it with humilty, reason and without the temper.
3) Casual racism is simply unnacceptable in any circumstance - you've been banned for this before. It doesn't matter if someone is from the UK, Colombia or WhoKnowsWhereIStan.
4) Sometimes the best response to something is no response at all. If you must respond to something that you feel incensed by, try sitting back from the keyboard for an hour before writing your reply.
5) The message boards have their own community derived etiquette; it's not unique to these boards but they are commonly accepted practices on much of the web. It pays to learn them and most are willing to advise in a friendly manner the first few times a newcomer makes those mistakes.
