What a load of absolute bollocks. I can't make up my mind if you are a brilliant WUM and you can keep it going for days and weeks or if you really are so blinded by your own sense of importance that you cannot understand what everyone else is telling you, regardless of how simple it is.
That's it Stereo, you say it doesn't offend you in your country, I tell you it's offensive and sectarian in my country yet you still use it. Answer me this, is every racist or sectarian term or word in the dictionary? Gap, 8am to 5pm is my normal working pattern. Believe ne I would live to be outside right now.
I'm not in your country you annoying little man I wouldn't even use the word 'hun' outside of not606 but if I did it would be in Scotland and if people were offended with it then that's their problem, not mine. It's not offensive to me or anyone I know but if it's offensive to you then you'll just have to grin and bear it or stop using not606.
That is not what I said at all, but you go ahead and misquote me as seems to be your forte. Med dog thinks he knows better than leading QCs and lexicographers. You must have a pile of letters after your name Med Dog?
Eddie Pearson: to me, the term Hun just means a Rangers fan Paul McBride: Yes There you have it. End of discussion.
Holy good god. Is this an act? Are you pretending to be dumb? You think it is okay to call people sectarian names because you are not in the same country as me. The Hun word maybe a bit of sticky situation when it comes to sectarianism in Scotland, it isn't over here. I know that, you know that, all the people that have contributed to these articles know that. Why not just save yourself the bother and cut it out altogether, just like Paul McBride has already said.
I don't know why I even bother. Do you suspect that anyone on Not606 who has called you a Hun "meant it" as a sectarian insult? If I call you a Hun does it mean I am calling you a Prod? Are you a Prod (not that I give a damn, this is just for the sake of debate)? If you are not a Prod (in fact even if you are) and I am, how can me calling you Hun be a sectarian insult? Please.
I have decided in my infinite wisdom that "Tim" is now a sectarian insult. Nobody better call me a Tim from now on because it is a derogatory term for "kafflik".
Everyone in Scotland knows this - perhaps it's a sticky situation in Northern Ireland, right enough. I mean, everyone has seen some "Kill All Tims" grafitti and everyone knows that grafitti of that sort refers to theological or racial differences. Plus NBM will say it's sectarian once me and some folk I egg on from a poisonous forum email them enough about it.
Apologies for highlighting you Internet bigots, but it needed to be done. Sectarianism is ruining the Scottish game and you and your friends on here that are determined to use the H word are only adding fuel to the flames. Like Paul McBride QC has said, cut this garbage out.
**** sake, you couldn't make this up. Dev writes a big thread greeting about the hypocrisy of moderating, in the same thread is told 'hun' is an offensive term in Northern Ireland, by a Northern Irish poster, but then continues to call the poster a 'hun' So as long as the person doing the sectarian labelling isn't offended then it's fine? <doublestandards>
Bullshit ML. So Medro states hun is offensive and we should stop using it on the basis of his say so? He's provided no evidence that the word is bigoted, particularly in the context of being said by Scots, and yet continues to drone on and on about being offended by the word. Like you say to others, if he finds the word hun offensive then he would be wise to stay clear of the Celtic board. If we are to go down the road of not being allowed to use words because one poster says it might be bigoted (and, as I said, he's provided no evidence to back up his claim) then the forum's ****ed.
Like I have said CiarinArdoynian, Rebelbhoy and a few others have spoke out and said what the word hun means over here. Even this reporter for the Guardian knows. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/may/13/comment.politics That's a great logic. I take it you would also say the same about the controversial orange marching, if you don't like it stay clear. Oh yeah that's right you said the complete opposite. One poster. Do you think I'm the only one out there that thinks this word is bigoted? How about you resolve the issue and listen to what Paul McBride QC said and stop using the word altogether.
