Well you know what they say about forums and religion. Just take it as given that they'll all get shut down but enjoy them/have a laff whilst they're active.
 
It wasn't The Snug again was it ?
I've seen more punch ups in there over the last week than I've seen in central Nottingham over the last year [emoji12]

Question for Chippy-
why start a thread and lock it due to some disagreement about it?. Not very democratic is it.
Sorry but what sort of reaction was you expecting:whistle:

What thread? Chippy starts good healthy debates but sometimes they get personal, discussion is good and people's opinions are interesting but it sometimes goes downhill quickly,especially religious or political issues.
Sorry for answering a question for Chippy,just my take on it 👍

When the personal insults started in my view it was time to close the thread as it was never going to get back on track, as i said in my latest post in the thread -

I have decided to close the thread, i was in two minds whether to do this when i posted it with hindsight i should have done, i hope those with an open mind enjoy the video.
 
Come come. A few insults can't hurt anyone,sticks and stones etc etc:lol:
I'm sure i have been called far worse then a racist and dare say others have as well.I'm sure we all have pretty broad shoulders.
 
Ha ha. People actually being racist early on in the thread was fine though.

I am afraid when one post's these types of things people will react with views that may not agree with what was probably expected.
I agree that attacking people with personal remarks isn't cricket,but i honestly didn't think that the thread got that bad-
unless some remarks had been taken down before being viewed in which case i then agree with taken them down.
Ok, seconds out round two--------------------------I want a good clean fight,
no holding,gouging or rabbit punching and break when told to do so:):wink:
 
While members are welcome to give their views they are not allowed to break the rules this approach has served the forum well for many years.

We appear to be going round in circles, once the racist accusation was made the thread was never going to get back on track (debate not insult) and was only heading one way, as i said earlier this forum has a reputation for being a friendly place we never have and never will let flame wars (an old forum saying) change that.
 
has i said earlier i got lost in this thread , were did the racist accusation appear ??????????

It first reared its head when someone called someone else a racist knucklehead. Oh alright I was on the receiving end of that. See how it's impossible to express an 'adverse' opinion of such matters without this nonsense coming into it? I didn't get any posts removed, dunno if anyone's was. And I didn't complain about the insult ( did I, Chippy?!), all water off a duck's back, to me. Some folk need to invest in a crash helmet.

I seem to remember from another thread you suggesting that all Muslims should get "sent back" and that you understood why people would bomb Mosques.

Do you really think this wouldn't offend forum members?

Instead of everyone else on the forum getting crash helmets, maybe you should think before posting your ill informed ****e.

Unless the whole point is offending people?
 
racism

ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/

noun

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

"a programme to combat racism"

synonyms:racial discrimination,*racialism,*racial prejudice/bigotry,*xenophobia,*chauvinism,*bigotry,*bias,*intolerance;More

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

Just for the record it was me who accused Gunge of being a Racist. Ignoring his posts all other threads, taking the blocked thread in isolation, Gunge stated that had someone performed the same act (asking for a hug) in a Muslim country they would be treated differently in a much more negative manner, ie killed. There is no evidence to support this, and groups all Muslim countries and their occupants into one category whether peaceful or not. This falls into the second part of the definition of racism, posted above.

Slightly worrying that racism goes unchecked, but calling someone a knucklehead gets censored.
