I am entitled to my opinions just as much as the next person. I don't believe it's fair to say I am mis-guided! I put accross my opinion and I listened to the opinions of the other people who disagreed which is absolutely fine, I don't expect everyone to share my opinions and neither should I be expected to share theirs. I am old and wise enough to be able to have a debate about something without resorting to tittle tattle like some things on here turn into. It was in my opinion a balanced argument between 2 people who shared different points of view.
Mid_tiger, More Capt Mainwaring than WW... I suggest you need to revisit some of the posts before concluding as you have. Oh, and for the record, don't call me mate. Cheers
My sarcastic comment about Jonesy was simply a response to your completely unnecessary 'what ever way you dress it up' comment. I am not holding a military post here, I'm not being paid for this ****, I'm just a City fan who posts his opinions and has been asked to delete anything that I consider to be completely out of order, which is exactly what I've done and there's been no complaints so far, other than yours. 10,892 posts on this board so far and only one person who 's voicing a complaint about the way I'm going about my task. I'd call that a result.
I think your doing ok scooterfella, You locked my multicultural thread and to be fair it needed locking, There was too many soft bastards making mountains out of molehills, Just like this one.
OLM, This is not personal, let's try and keep it that way. I was not having a go. I thought I was actually having a reasoned debate with the mod of this forum. I stand by my observations as I think my points were considered, fair and reasonable. We all have to he held to account for what we as individuals post but your accountability is greater. So to bring this to a close; what exactly is your view on what is an acceptable topic to post on this board?
I know if I was scooter I couldn't be arsed to answer this one, But I'm Dean and I think everything is acceptable except joking about the dead.
Dean24, Holding the mod to account is part and parcel of forum life. You, of all posters, should know that given that you sail close to the wind with some of your contributions. Forums need clear direction and all I was seeking was clarity.
I have already said, repeatedly, that I will only delete stuff that I think is offensive in nature, or is getting out of hand, either too personal, or racist, or anything else that I think is offensive(or others refer to me as offensive). If you're looking for a detailed list of exactly what I will and won't allow, you'll have a bloody long wait, I'm making it up as I go long and so far that's not causing any problems with posters other than your good self. I don't see that people have any issue with what it and isn't being posted, I've barely deleted anything and most posters seem happy with things as they are. So in summary, with regard to your question 'what is an acceptable topic to post on this board?', the answer is, the ones I don't delete.
Daft as the BNP is I don't recall them calling for Lebensraum in the East or wanting to exterminate a race of people. Is Nick Griffin a teetotll, vegetarian anti-smoking fanatic? Some people get very silly when talking about a minor party which will never get elected. Do you lay awake worrying about other things as well?
Actually, and this has been pointed out on many occasions, the BNP is not right wing. It is extremely left wing , wanting more state control and nationalisation of the top companies than the Socialist Workers Party (who have just as much chance of electoral success as th BNP). Calling them right wing is wrong. Maybe people don't like to associate being left with racism. I'd suggest reading the manifesto of parties before calling them right or left.
