I am outraged by something someone else in this forum has said and I would like to get it off my chest in a measured, sensible fashion... just like any other grown man would! A)... etc
Cheers for posting, like I’ve said to you, I wouldn’t like to lose you from the forum... but I definitely wouldn’t like to be an administrator of it either...
It’s not comfortable reading,at best he gives the impression of a creepy racist who has the appetite to influence others. This seems like some dark place better avoided.
Heres an open question, where are the lines actually drawn? When exactly does name calling change to racism - change to hate crime? I sail close to what i think is the edge. I’ll offend some people for being too strongly opinioned but be thought of lightweight by others... Who has got a “predudice road map” they can drive with confidence?
I also received a ban for apparently being racist, which I find strange as I have never mentioned any race, colour or even culture in any post I have made, apart from once defending the majority of one race, and the only occasion I mentioned religion was in the defence of those religions.
Dozers Dad I just hope you are not going to call me a paddy. You know I'm a Mick. And I will have to report you not talk to you and explain myself and ask for clarification. But I agree with you. Now do we ban BBC as well. Regards Joe.
DCS222 You are a great member. I personally have found Dozers Dad an exemplary member and friend. Even though we have never met he has reached out to me on more than one occasion and that is tops for me. He has also ripped into me and told me of and corrected me on one or more occasions which is fine. That's what we are all about. And Dozers Dad said it all when he said this is a special place. Regards Joe.
Dozers Dad Something funny here the forum would not let me rate the last post you wrote nor reply to it. Quite frankly I think the forum is going the wrong direction here. If it turns out you decide to leave then I will follow suit. Regards Joe.
Wo,wo,wo,woah there,this is where the combination of drink and social media comes a cropper. I’ve long held the view that there’s an historic problem with some of the Pakistani community! I wasn’t pointing the finger and apologise for any offence caused,however this is an uncomfortable area and not some flimsy pc comment.
Tom Gillam Agree with some but there is bad in all races. God we only have to look at the news over the last ten years. But we must be tolerable of each others comments as I thought this was what the forum brotherhood was all about. Yet here we are now with our family unravelling and the forum on the brink of falling apart. Regards Joe.
There’s absolutely no need for an apology mate,and I far prefer the bike bollocks than this. We’re all united by something different ,but triumph is our excuse.
I just wanted to check on some of the “facts” being banded about on the forum... I’ve heard quite A bit about ethnic groups and predatory sexual behaviour... but what I hear all the time is about Pakistani grooming gangs... i hadn’t heard about the... and i quote...” 100 per cent of recorded Type 2 group offenders, who abuse children because of long-standing paedophilic interest, are white.” Now trust me, this isn't a whitewash report of ethnic groupings... but it shows what stands out in the media and what doesn’t https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/what-do-we-know-about-the-ethnicity-of-sexual-abuse-gangs
Is the rant thread not a place where one can vent their spleen and discuss various topics that are not suitable for other sections, A man quotes something that is produced by the BBC for all to see yet he is the man that takes the blame for drawing it to our attention, Maybe the rant thread needs a "DO NOT ENTER IF VERY EASILY OFFENDED" disclaimer as a lot of what was indicated was subject to an individual interpretation and personnel ideals, it seems society is slanted in one direction these days you can't open your mouth without offending someone these days.
being fair to mrO, i dont think the ban was for that post, but the subsequent postings which have now been deleted but quite visible in the “quoted” posts that remain... and explained in Dd’s post on here.
SNP logic... we demand to stand on our own two feet and be independent from the oppressive union... no, not that one... this one! We still demand to be tied into the restrictions of that union over there! But not this one over here...
Yeah I did, and I just reread it now... I applaud the stance taken by the group and it confirms the loudest part of what I’ve heard in the media... but what i hadn’t heard was what I’d posted... the report confirming the Pakistani disproportionate representation in certain predator groups ALSO reporting that other specific predator (Paedophile) groups... were all white! I honestly struggle to believe that there are so many sick fuckers about... this is supposed to be a civilised corner of the civilised world. I think that proof there is intelligent life out in space is that they haven’t come down to meet us yet!! (I might be paraphrasing Douglas Adams here)
