I never said you did. But you were vehement that this was not a bigoted statement.

I think that is a dangerous stance for a Moderator of a Celtic board to take in the current climate; where bigotry is, rightly or wrongly, a political, media and judiciary hot issue.

I think it's an irresponsible stance and you should have erred on the side of caution. The meaning is, at best, ambiguous, and you were being deliberately inflammatory.

It's an internet forum. He's a moderator, not a ****ing UN ambassador

 

[The Raging Oxter]

Your right in another "vain attempt" I was able to persuade a guardian journalist to write an article on this subject years ago.

He never said the expression was bigoted. It's offensive. Do you want some crayons too?

 

[MrT]

El Papa all the way

Aye right. Him and who's army?

Hitler's?

 

[Bollocks]

It isn't bigoted, it's offensive. That was the point I was trying to make.

Christ on a bendy bike son, it's not rocket science. Here, go mad:

Yes, but the point is, evidently, debatable - and I think with your new responsibility as moderator you should have shown more tact. Instead, you deliberately inflamed the issue.

It's not working son.

Did see the part where he explains what the grafitti means?

This pish needs closed. It's like The Magic Roundabout only not as educational.

It's offensive because it's bigoted.

Someone asked earlier, if someone makes the statement, "kill all blacks", does the word blacks become racist.

Well no, it doesn't, but the statement is racist.

Just like Kill all Huns, is bigoted.

If you don't believe me, go shout it near a police station and see if you get arrested. Then you can prove this once and for all in a court of law.

Is it only a crime in Scotland to say hun?

The topic's changed. Now it's all about:

It was me that asked that question to prove people like you wrong

Kill All Huns = offensive
Kill All People with Freckles = offensive
Kill All People with Sideburns = offensive

None of them are bigoted.

No, I saw the bit where a London-based journalist misunderstood the meaning of the word Hun.

I've challenged a few of them to do this already. There are now a number of Police Facebook pages out there and contact can be made straight to the police.

If they feel so strongly that the word will not land them in trouble then should go ahead and post it online straight to the police.

 

[The Raging Oxter]

Tell you what Medro, why don't you contact the police and grass us all in?

Or, better still, if you find not606 offensive and not to your taste **** off somewhere else where your mopey whining will be more accepted.

 

[MrT]

The cardinals

El Papa and the Cardinals?

They still on the 'Apology' world tour?

 

[Medro]

No, I saw the bit where a London-based journalist misunderstood the meaning of the word Hun.

Wouldn't a guardian journalist who has obviously doen his research be better suited to make a judgement than some random fella on the interent from Edinburgh?

 

[RebelBhoy]

Do you give this statement of their website much credence?

"Offensive sectarian language is still used in Scotland on a daily basis, with abusive terms such as “Hun” and “Orange bastard” being used negatively against Protestants"

http://nilbymouth.org/history/

No.

No.

 

[monacoger]

That tour could take a while and when they do finish it, they'd have to start another one, in fact just a bit like this ****ing thread!
