    I didn't think you could sink lower than posting jokey clips of slaves.

    But 'naming and shaming' people who aren't here to defend themselves, one who died, is pitiful tbh.

    You should seriously think about what you post. The people you're talking about, despite their faults, we're better liked than you'll ever be.

    You've totally failed to back up any of your ridiculous claims so you're now attacking people who aren't even here.

    TBH it's the only way you'll ever win an argument.

    Sorry for the whole thing and whatever it was: and fair enough, I can respect 'just leave it' .. I get it.

    I'm not sure win-lose is relevant, especially in regard to whatever dorset has mentioned

    It sounds tragic, I don't know any more than that and for those that do, I get it, let it lie ...

    It's exactly what you did, you named people who aren't here to defend themselves just to back up your daft pointless argument.

    I named someone who used to post on here in the context of not606 safc circa 2012. I had no idea one of ...

    Lets put this in perspective and leave it at that

    Listen sunshine, leave me out of the hole you're digging. I might have posted a bit drunk back in the day but don't link me to past racial slurs cause that's not who I am.

    I'd appreciate an apology. First for chattin **** behind by back and secondly for linking my rants to race hate. I've read this thread and you've brought my name up off the back of historic racism on this board that I played no part in what so ever. In fact it's the opposite, I challenged it. Me a Bill didn't get on but he was honest and he'd back me up 100% on your bullshit. Bringing him up was bang out of order, he can't defend himself ffs.

    Is your compassion restricted to race and religion? What about people in general? Cause you've shown me and Bill no respect. Grow up lad, gather some consistency if you're going to play the moral card.

    In fairness to Shameless, I brought the deceased poster into the conversation.

    He shouldn't catch **** for that, if anyone should, it should be me.

    Nice to see you phallus

    I missed that, he said his name and jumped out at me next mine

    I don't agree with slating Bill. He met much objection at the time. That's surfice imo. He's not here mate so not fair imo.

    I'm good mate apart from a few off days. Lost 5 stone going back into work, have little house on the edge of a village and trying new things. Bit of affection and a sex life and everything would be going perfect.

    How's yourself mate?

    I'm not going to go into the Bill stuff too much, I was just making the point that there has been plenty of racism on this board over the years and I stand by that.

    That sounds like you're on the up mate. Really ****ing pleased to hear that. You deserve it.

    I'm fine ish. Struggling a little with the world going to **** over the last few months. It's really made me question living here in Australia. I'm not altogether sure it is right for me at all. That said, I'll move home and be miserable there to. I'm just a moody twat.

    World has gone to **** mate. My Facebook and Twitter timeline shows society within our fanbase and my outer social circle is just full of bad eggs. Doubt returning here will bring much comfort seeing your family and old muckas aside.

    If you've had enough at least you'd have them.

    Don't feel very patriotic at the moment, between all the hate and woke there just seems an absence of normality and balance.

    I have never in my life known a time where people were so eager to just stamp on each other. It's so ****ing divided and tribal. Insane.

    I don't think you named anyone Disco and that's where it's wrong.

    The claim was that people, on here, have claimed that all terrorists are Muslims. In my opinion if you're going to make such claims you should directly quote the poster, not just lump everyone in who you believe might be racist. You may be wrong which is what happened with Bri.

    Shameless has been lecturing people about making sweeping generalisations and here he is doing exactly that.

    Anyway, nice to see you and Bri quadrupling your post quota for the year <cheers>

    I watched an interesting interview with Greta Thunberg yesterday in which she discussed her autism (I hadn't realised she was a sufferer before).

    During it she said that the focus it gave her was a positive, not a burden, because she'd learnt to control its impact on her life.

    I just wish others would learn to do the same, rather than use the condition as an excuse to attempt to excuse the inexcusable, or deny it entirely.

    I've just used the search function and searched "all terrorists are muslim" spent two minutes looking and found two incidents on this forum, I'm sure you'd find more if you dub around but I really don't want to.

    I'm not naming people but the posts are pretty easy to find going back a few years now when the board was a different place. Nothing recent, that's for sure.

    I'm definitely not picking a fight here. I just remember this place being pretty ****ing nasty going back 5/6 years.

    There's varying degrees to be fair, the most extreme cases must be terrible to live with.

    I'm fine sunshine - and nice to hear from you too

    Sorry, but this mud-slinging is unfair. The board here has changed so much and it is of some relief that ...dorset, disco, rooch are still about and thanks Disco for 'the voice of reason'. I do apologise for mentioning your name -not 'digging up the past' just reminiscing -as I recall we didn't always get along or agree and we weren't arch enemies either. I also consistently defended people where others called for banning no matter what their digression.

    ..."but don't link me to past racial slurs" Smug is the one who said I was trying to tie people with things they may have said in the past (rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat) which is not the case and I'm sorry if I mentioned your name, though not in the manner you have suggested and there was no intention to disrespect you and sorry you took it the wrong way. I honestly have no more than a vague recollection of racism since it was mentioned the other day, in fact when I mentioned people's names it was with reference to alcohol, I'd completely forgotten about racist content. As for B### I had no notion that he'd passed away

    Have a great day and stay well

    ".I just remember this place being pretty ****ing nasty going back 5/6 years."

    Just my point mate, it's unreasonable to be using comments from long gone posters years ago to have a pop at people posting now.
