Job done.
You're a good poster Cat but you lack guile.Apparently drawing attention to an example of racism is offensive to many?
No he or she lacks balance.You're a good poster Cat but you lack guile.
Cat, my wife is originally from Malaysia and has experienced racism on occasions over the past 50 years she has been here so please don’t lecture me on the subject.You sadly from my point of view have no sense of balance when you post on here.What balance can there be with regards to racism?
Surely you are against it. Or what?
Not really, you're still a cnut.Job done.
I meant that the thread pointing out the racism encountered by Dawn Butler was a worthy one. But to keep people onside sufficiently to give the thread some legs requires guile. Cat went in at the deep-end with the wrong approach, wee'd everyone off and got his/her thread pulled.It was quite rightly removed as it was an extremely offensive. o/p. So be offensive back and thread gets deleted. Job done.
That's not lacking guile.
I think likening the current regime here to 1930's Germany might have had something to do with it. I though that was reprehensible, really ; there is constructive criticism and there is bile, and I am pretty sure which one that was.
So you should know why it was deleted. You deleted it.
Glad he/she is blocked and I didn’t read it.
Was there anything in his post requiring censorship though, or was it just playing the man and not the ball?
Agree with what you say, mate, but I don’t think what Cat said was so offensive it needed to be removed. Over exaggerating, yes, but only really offensive if you wanted it to be. IMO.It isn't shutting down debate Scaramanga keeping it under control more like.
Boundaries are needed and when they are crossed things should be deleted(been guilty myself) or you end up with a situation like BHS suffered give some on an inch and the take a yard and all hell brakes loose.
That's one of the good things about this FREE site is it's moderation looking after and listening to us fans.
That's the thing what offends one doesn't others but we do need moderation and the irony is this thread will probably get more posts than the original one.Agree with what you say, mate, but I don’t think what Cat said was so offensive it needed to be removed.

Comparing Johnson to Hitler isn't offensive? Yeah, right..Agree with what you say, mate, but I don’t think what Cat said was so offensive it needed to be removed. Over exaggerating, yes, but only really offensive if you wanted it to be. IMO.

Well, after reading Poolsiders last post, I take on board that I can only really say that it was inoffensive to me, merely an obvious over exaggeration.Comparing Johnson to Hitler isn't offensive? Yeah, right..
Comparing Johnson to Hitler isn't offensive? Yeah, right..
Yes, appalling that.Comparing Johnson to Hitler isn't offensive? Yeah, right..
This is acceptable?Don’t think anything should be banned on here really, if you want free speech it’s for all. You can’t pick and choose when it suits.
The board is a platform and thus should protect the owners from any liable.
It’s really easy in here to just block someone.
This is acceptable?
I was told that I had been banned for making racist posts, I then politely requested an example(s) of any such post(s) and was ignored.
Except I did not say that. I likened the situation where threats by far right extremists against left wing politicians are growing to pre second world war Germany. If anything I think Johnson is more akin to Hindenburg - turning a blind eye to the Nazis in the belief that he could control them from the inside. I did accuse Johnson of casual racism but there is plenty of widely available evidence to support that viewpoint. The above post saying I should be eliminated is an example and I note that you don't object to that sort of hate filled post. Also would you condemn the racist threats against Dawn Butler?Comparing Johnson to Hitler isn't offensive? Yeah, right..
who are you to say what I can and cannot find offensive?IMO it should not have been removed as it wasn't offensive at all.
I hope the mods are not "pandering" to certain posters simply because they have an unhealthy dislike for another poster.
IMO it should not have been removed as it wasn't offensive at all.
I hope the mods
So no condemnation of racism against a black female MP, or any objection to a post saying I should be killed. Good moral values being shown there.who are you to say what I can and cannot find offensive?
I don't have a dislike of Cat as a person as I've never met the guy and yes he is a male. What I don't like is his messages of hate, the bile he posts, and the fact I consider he's a left wing extremist whose purpose on this board is to be nothing more than a political agitator. If it's not then why does he not contribute on any other matter that isn't connected to his own political beliefs? The manner in which he makes and constructs his posts have only one intention and that is not to debate, it's to stir up the pot. He's been doing it for months. Plenty of others on his side of the debate and I've named them before do it in a manner which prompts debate. Cat doesn't. Like I've said., he starts a thread with the intention of stirring up the pot and more often than not disappears from it.
I also believe that the moderation of this board has a strong left wing bias and allows what I believe are offensive, Robbie described it as reprehensible remarks to stand and in the past it was the counter balance remarks that were being deleted as a general rule. So I admittedly made a post which I thought would get the thread deleted. And it did.
I apologise if some people think that is stifling the debate but in this particular case I thought it was the right course of action.
