We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so as not to offend stupid people, is a quote I saw this morning on Facebook. Some would agree some would not.
I had a post removed by the guardians of good taste, and I say that lightly, a week or so ago due to the content including some truthful comments about those who shall not be named, the M*****s, and it seems that you cannot say anything about them or their religion for fear of being classed as racist or worse.
With this being, basically, a football site, I expect to experience a level playing field, be refereed in the correct way and not have one rule for some and one rule for others. It would seem though that whoever decides what can and cannot be said have some strange ideas of what is offensive and what is not.
It would appear that it is alright to blaspheme, take the name of the Lord in vein, and use images of him for political knock abouts yet at the same time not be able to mention A**a or anything to do with that religion. Level playing field my Donkey , I would have said a**e but it would no doubt be unacceptable.
Whether people like it, or not, this is still a Christian Country in which we tolerate other peoples cultures and religious practices, but it seems that the guardians of good taste on this board feel that Christians must tolerate whatever is said or done whilst others can do and say whatever they like and not reciprocate in the so called mutual understanding.
For those who wonder what I am on about the answer is on the Keir Starmer confident in Rayner thread posted at 6.49 on Saturday.
