    OLM,

    As the Moderator of this site didn't you state that you did not think that overtly political and religious threads were acceptable? Accepting that this started off with a tenuous link to Hull City (through an ex players apparent political affiliations) should we not be modding the mod now that it has degenerated into something else - with your apparent approval?

    Borderline.

    The article itself is not political or religious in any way.

    The fact that it evolved into a debate on whether or not one of our ex-players is a bit racist, has got slightly political, but it hasn't degenerated into the 'get rid of the Muslims' stuff that I had in mind(having seen it on other City forums), when I said we should avoid overtly political or religious articles.

    Just for the record, I have once against asked Mick to appoint a second moderator on this board(as we originally requested), so that it's not just my opinion that's used to gauge things on here.

    To be fair, the thread may have turned away from football but it's been a reasonable debate, not decended into anything offensive.

    There a fine line between talking about ex racist/ non racist players and an all out race war.

    At the moment this topic is on the right side of that line :police:

    The naughty step never left Hull, Lambrini, judging by Pearson's attitude and behaviour towards players of the previous regime!

    OLM, B_L & MM,

    I disagree.

    It is an overtly political and religious article. You did not breakdown what, in your opinion, constituted an "acceptable" debate on either of thse 2 topics.

    Some of the articles on Egypt were not offensive but were viewed as being too political. There is a disconnect here which should be highlighted.

    OLM

    You have yourself developed the thread by talking about your Grandad and the "Fuzzy-wuzzies" - this is not a term of endearment and I dare say to those to which it was directed it could be construed as racism.

    Consistency should be maintained here, or else we run the risk of "certain" people being allowed to post whatever they like.

    Firstly, I didn't pull any article about Egypt, so there's no double standards here(I only suspended one article while we agreed what was going to be allowed, then it was immediately re-instated).

    Secondly, the 'Fuzzy-Wuzzie' comment was with relation to a discussion about Dad's Army, a programme in which it was used as a catchphrase. For those not familiar with this piece of classic British situation comedy - The humour ranged from the subtle (especially in the class-reversed relationship between Mainwaring and Wilson, who also happened to be his deputy at the bank) to the slapstick (the antics of the elderly Jones being a prime example). Jones had several catchphrases, including "Don't panic!", "They don’t like it up ’em", "Permission to speak, sir", and talk about "the Fuzzy-Wuzzies"(thanks wiki).

    I have explained my decision, I have done my best to be fair with everyone and to always explain my decisions and I've barely deleted anything, as I always said was my intention.

    OLM,

    I did not say that the Egypt posts were "pulled". I was merely pointing out that the forum poll occurred shortly after this point and that it was intimated, at the time, that people did not want to discuss such topics on this forum. To my mind, this thread is no different.

    The point about Dads Army is a fair one but the word was taken out of that context because you explained that your Granddad used it before going on to say that he refused to speak to your brother in law because he went to work for Nissan. Plainly this has a perceived racial connotation however you wish to dress it up.

    As a moderator you have certain responsibilities. I suggest that you moderate impartially and consistently - that is all.

    Perhaps Wayne is just naive after all he believed Brownie that as last man he could cope with Valencia's pace against Wigan!

    If the fact that I stated my Grandfather was the living embodiment of Jones from Dad's Army makes me a racist, then I'm afraid I'm guilty as charged.

    I stated the way I would moderate on here and I have consistently moderated in that manner, I will continue to do so.

    I suppose everyone is entitled to an opinion, Mine is that the Labour Party are racist, They sent our army into Iraq to kill Muslims using a pack of lies for an excuse, I think that's a little scarier than anything the BNP have done.

    OLM,

    The point re your Granddad was not that he was, or was not, the walking embodiment of Jonsey but that he didn't like "Fuzzy Wuzzies" and didn't like Nissan. This partular point has now been done to death don't you think?

    We have a saying in the military: with rank comes responsibility.

    As the moderator you cannot be inconsistent. You must lead from the front with integrity being your sword and courage your shield. You will not please everybody but why should that bother you?

    Lol, you make it sound more like he's William Wallace about to lead his army to war than OLM the moderator about to delete a post. What does he need bloody courage for? Are we going to be declaring internet warfare?

    And this thread is neither political or racist. It's a guy getting corrected because he mis-guidedly believes that voting for BNP makes you a racist, when it doesn't, not everyone voicing their opinions on politics and who should be PM or any of that bollocks. Think you need to ease up a bit mate..
