Fair point

I was going to watch one of the videos, but it was then pointed out it was a neo Nazi that posted it, so I didn't and wouldn't want to now at all.

I was the same with any extremist Islamic videos too.

This is the point, surely there should be a default no posting neo nazi propaganda "rule".

So they weren’t offended at all by the racism in the other posts?

What is there to discuss about a video claiming that "black and brown" Muslims were hunting down white British people to murder?

Also he posted a picture of a group of black people just standing there as proof in his mind that the anti racists weren't working class thus saying black people aren't working class which is racism.

The issue is, people post shit from all sorts of accounts on Twitter.

I was really upset that @covcity4life insinuated I was racist yesterday based on nothing at all. If you knew me in real life you would know that was not the case.

The irony is, a couple of people have also asked to be removed for this very reason.

The thing is though you would be quite happy with a forum with only labour members.

Nothing is being tiptoed around. I've spoken to users about things.

Nobody has an issue with other members asking to be removed because they feel like they can't post without getting jumped on?

[IGNORE OFF]

No, I wouldn't, as it happens one of my best mates is a Tory, we just don't discuss politics! I would be happy with a forum that didn't allow racist messages to be posted.

Forum members who post racist material shouldn't be "spoken to" they should be banned. Not sure why it's so difficult.

The last line....not sure what you're or who you're getting at.

Disgusting baseless accusations. Just because hes upset he feels he can throw accusations left right and centre.

I have also pointed out you liked posts from a poster who made blatant anti semetic posts and you liked the posts - so not only are you a liar but a hypocrite
Click to expand...

I think this is where you start to suspect that perhaps a forum is playing too big a part in your life, when someone merely liking a post leads you to deduce they are some kind of combination of Fred West & Hitler, and you go mental for days culminating with threats to go after their employment (if that’s true, I have no idea).

I have DM him to sort it out so try not to stir. Or has someone wound you up behind the scenes? Hmmm

Also are you saying that there are posters who have had their accounts deleted because of me? Me specifically? And they are now gone from this forum?

I didn’t see what grendull specifically said to CC4L but from subsequent posts I understand he used a lazy trope about the Sikh community against CC4L. I think you’ve got to do some cartwheels in your head to come to the conclusion that lazy troping a minority group isn’t racist.

I can also tell you that he often likes to insinuate that I’m gay because he thinks I’ll be insulted by it, most often it involves some lazy homophobic trope about Marc Almond and sailors. He likes to do it to other posters too, most often involving various homosexual acts he imagines a particular poster carry out on other posters, MP’s, political commentators etc etc. again you’re going to have to do some serious cartwheels in your head to come to the conclusion that using lazy homophobic tropes isn’t homophobic.

Now, maybe CC4L is guilty of homophobia, like I said I didn’t see the exchange. But you’re only picking up on 1 poster who did one of the things you’re outraged by while even worse than giving a poster guilty of both things a free pass you’re using it to defend him. Maybe have a think about that before you keep jumping to his defence.

Aye, he also thinks it's okay to call someone like SB a "taig" as he told me when ADM started using that offensive and racist slur that he doesn't see that as offensive.

Hardly. I've spoken out against the sharing of blatantly racist material being posted over the last couple of days by posters with clear agendas.

I would say someone is more likely to be obsessive when they resurrect an old account with the specific intention of attacking the main moderator and anyone you associate with him.

Are your three accounts representing the 3 split personalities you have?

Both of my parents were Tories. My Dad voted for Brexit! We had many an argument over that.
