Not everywhere, for example slander (and defamation in general) is not a crime where I live. Also keep in mind that defamation is typically defined as an intentionally false and damaging statement of fact, whereas most of the stuff on this forum is opinions. Not sure what you mean about stealing time.

It seems there is a great deal of cultural difference here. Some communities are more tolerant to free speech than others and this forum is definitely on the more tolerant end of the spectrum.

That's before we even get to the actual existence of racism in Timelord's posts. I believe he would just as happily dig into any group of users if he thought there was a conspiracy going on, and he has done so on numerous occasions in the past. You'd think in his many years on this forum his alleged hatred for Turkish users would have surfaced a long time ago.
