    I took no offence to it but... Was this racist, banter or a joke, what one person sees as racist another sees no harm.

    When Glory was banned, everyone had a say, some yourself included pointed the finger solely at me. I didn’t mind as it was said in the open, it gave me a chance to share my thoughts and opinions.

    I have to agree with previous posters, better out in the open than done by manipulating PMs and wooden spoon stirring and if I don’t like someone’s opinion of me at least I have a chance to reflect and ask myself why I am seen that way.

    Anything that anyone considers genuinely offensive just has to hit the report button or PM a mod, there are three is us, you’ve got to like at least one ;)

    On TV adverts, I did like the Waitrose follow up advert to the JL one.

    Was replying to Ristac. Don't really know how your post got tied in, but if you want to admit to being thick be my guest :emoticon-0148-yes:

    After 8 pages we've had blacks, browns, greens, shorties, fatties, baldies, sheepshaggers, shandy drinkers, gays, Muslims, sly digs, blatent goading,outright bollocks, thrust and riposte, and emotions running high and low. Even feckin' Hitler got in on the act.

    All we needed was a little provocation. <whistle>

    Well done Spilt Milk. <applause>

    Hopefully you take me at my word and accept that that everything related to Glory and his ban is now done and dusted and consigned to history as far as I'm concerned.

    This thread was started so we could all have an open discussion about the use of racist terms on our board. I believe it's served a useful purpose and the fact so many have contributed to the debate would support that perhaps it should have taken place sooner.

    Godwin’s law. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

    Drawing comparison to hitler is the nadir of any online discussion. I feel honoured to have plumbed the depths of a debate that didn’t look like it could get any lower.<laugh>

    There's a big difference between being thick and talking crap, I specialise in the latter.:emoticon-0140-rofl:
