There are forum rules that have to be abided by. I merely cautioned Kiwi that he should stop and think about what he was posting. The post in question was subsequently removed. Not due to any complaint from me, I hasten to add. I have never made any complaint to the mods. If I object to anything, I will take it up with the poster.

A previous post has been taken down. But your current complaint of a racist post against Kiwi is unspecific. If you think he has put up something racist, explain to him why you think it is so. We'll all have a view, I'm sure.

Well I can't show you the post that was taken down, but it was some bollocks about how to recognise if you are Islamophobic, and was in itself Islamophobic. Here are my responses to it...

Is that from the Tory party handbook?

Seriously, most of what you post on this thread is utter ****e, but you really should think twice before putting garbage like that on here.

and the Supermod's…...

The post has been removed. That is not an opinion, I just don't need the grief either way.

Thanks Guys,

Admin

That’s a wee bit fascist

No, because he's trying to censor Kiwi's posts because he doesn't like the right wing bias. If there's something that breaks site rules, fine. He can advise Kiwi or go straight to a mod. In this current case, he's claiming a racist post without giving details of why he thinks it's racist (I'm not talking about the post a while ago that was taken down by a supermod without admonition)

Why are you talking about the post that was taken down? It's done and gone. Kiwi wasn't censured for it.

You're making a claim of racism against a current Kiwi post and the only reason you've given him that I can see, it that it's racist because a supermod took another Kiwi post down a while ago. Have I got that right?

Where have I tried to censor Kiwi's posts other than to say he should post links rather than full articles? I may have moaned to him about the content but no more than that.

Your post to Kiwi:
To be charitable to you, you may not be racist yourself. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that you just copy and paste pretty much anything you find in your nasty world of right-wing propaganda. I cautioned you at the time that you really should stop and think about what you are mindlessly copying.

FFS! I was referring to the post than was taken down.

Here (again) is what I posted.....

Surely the fact that the post in question was subsequently removed vindicates this.
 
No it's not. Where do you get that from?

Your post 35002, where Kiwi says what's wrong with posting stuff he finds amusing, and you say, "or racist."

Was Kiwi admonished for posting a racist post? Was he given a warning? Supermods can take stuff down just for a quiet life

If he want to put stuff up that you don't like, ignore it. If it breaks the rules, complain and he'll be censured. If you want to put left wing stuff up - and you do, like video's etc, fine. Stainsey will enjoy it, Kiwi, Col and I will probably ignore it. If it includes any of the antisemitic stuff from the Labour Party, we'll probably complain to you

The post on question was racist, which is why it was taken down. I won't make complaints about such posts, but neither will I ignore them - why should I? I will call them out, which is what I did.

I suspect it was ambiguous, which is why the supermod took it down (for a peaceful life) and did not criticise or give a warning to Kiwi.

Well perhaps Kiwi would post it again, so that we can all judge.

How about this one (Kiwi's post 34935), which I didn't call out at the time? Many would consider this racist, but I suspect you won't.
