No problem mate. Nowt better than a hard days night out! You didn't miss out on anything in particular.
I know you had a point mate and I never contested that I just felt that what I was trying to do was more important to me than proving (again) that Billy goes too far on here. That's where we disagree and that's fine this time.
One thing that I don't do is blame the mods..They put themselves forward in order to keep this site running and take **** for no reward.. For the record, there is loads of comments on here that I think are both wrong and at times disgusting, but as I'm a bastion of free speech I have no problem with most being open for discussion, unless they are hurtful and/or directed towards someone in particular..
Pops. Blunham and Marcus get a massive from me, in an impossible task. I don't know the billy situation, but he will accept it.
Would someone mind undeleting this infamous thread from yesterday. There's a whole heated debate going on about it on the PL board and some of us wuld like to have a laugh gander at what's been said to get a full, more rounded picture of events. Seriously, can you just pop it back for an hour or so. I'll let everyone on the PL board know. Thanks, much obliged
Have to say I agree with Bri on this... I've said a few times on here that this is one of my favourite boards on this sites but there's no doubt that there's a racist under current on here and the mods fail to act... like Bri said (again), that's why this board has a reputation across the site. Blunham... you say you've never requested a ban for a poster but surely that's the problem? Some of the comments I've seen on here... if they were on our board the first time would have at LEAST a tempoary ban and the second would be a permanent site ban. People hiding behind 'free speech' is absolute bollocks too... go out in public and make those comments and see how long it takes for you to get nicked... A lot of the time I see comments on here about posters leaving and lack of new ones... just ask yourself, if you was an ethnic minority and saw some of the comments on here and the lack of the action being taken, would you feel inclined to start posting on here ? I should stress I know it's only a minority on here but just thought I'd give my thoughts on the situation and the modding on here
Come again mate? I don't get your point. Are you saying because Spurlock the Spurs fan comes on your board it's ok to racially abuse him? Apologies if that aint what ya sayin fella... please feel free to explain/correct me ?
Spurslock. Same person who openly stated that he wished Billy had died by a Taliban bullet. Yet nothing is done about those comments? Each club board differs. Abide by their rules. This is how i get along with the mags so well.
We should probably look at just getting rid of racism on the board. Don't see that it would hurt anyone. It isn't a benefit to anyone.
That didn't answer my question. To be fair Comm I always liked you as a poster... one of the best on this site imo. Until the day on the PL board when you told Spurlock (a muslim) to get to his bomb making class that was the day I lost respect for you... thought you'd be more open minded as someone who lives in Asia too... If he said what he said that's not right either... I didn't see that so I can't comment... but if I was a muslim and I had to read derogatoty (sp?) Comments about my religion from Billy I would probably respond too. It doesn't make it right (if he did say that at all) but theres a difference between responding to a quite blatant predujiced insult and spouting your bigoted opinion and thinking it's okay due to 'free speech'.
Maybe mate. But the term racism is varied. I have no idea what was said. Although i can imagine. But other things are just as bad imo, yet nothing is ever said. The racism card seems an easy wagon to jump on.
Like i have just said to disco. The racist card is an easy one to play. And totallt one sided. You lost respect for me. Am i really supposed to give a flying **** about that? You are just one of those who love to jump on the pc wagon, to try and look good. Without taking in the whole picture. That Spurslock **** is as bad as they come. But while he has people like you defending him no matter what. He can get away with everything, as you want to be seen as a good person. So go defend that ****. Shove your respect. A white man has as many rights. Something that seems to have been forgotten. Yes i did report the ****.
Then swap out the word for racist, replace it with bigoted. And that's what we should be looking to get rid of. It's an appealing representation of Sunderland and makes us look like neanderthals.
We are no worse than many mate. The huge crowds at games and lack of arrests is proof of that, compaired to many of the london clubs.
Talking about the **** posted on the board that makes us look like morons. Not what happens at games.
I could read all manner of vile **** online if I wanted to. I don't. It being out there doesn't mean it should be on here. As to why you'd argue is baffling. I'm saying we should get rid of bigoted content and you disagree? Right.
Im not arguing nor disagreeing with any of your points. We all read and take the contents of each post differently. What may offend you does not necessarily mean it offends someone else.
