to be fair, it'd be weird to ban sheepy and not ban all the other blatantly racist people around here- $layer, Red_, SpaceCadet, and Forefather immediately come to mind
their actual views aren't much more enlightened, they just have the social awareness to couch them in language that makes them less crazy on the surface
i've noticed, in fact, that most of those guys' first post in a thread gets +fragged, because most people here are too stupid to see the obvious implications of their argument that they're about to lead a thread down, and it's not until they post again that people start to acknowledge how fucked up what they're saying is
then there are people even more on the borderline than those guys, who either a) don't post enough about such issues to justify a ban, b) mix in enough sarcasm and such into their posts that it's not conclusive how much of the shit they believe, or c) have really backwards opinions on one topic but not others
tough to decide where to draw the line, sheepy is just so visible about it
