    Nope. You reposting the comments from he thread I closed is saying that.

    So, should I now close this thread because of your offensive 'jokes'? Should I apply the rules strictly and ban posters that make threats of violence and abuse?

    Lighten up mate, it was a thread created so that those types of jokes weren't spread across various other threads. A sort of concentration of all the worst bits in one place. Yes, perhaps I should have put it on general chat, but my thinking was that if people were getting offended by all the stuff, they'd know not to read it.

    Knowing that it's there, you clearly went out of your way to read it and be offended. The title was clear, the content was clearly going to be edgy so why do you insist that it was moderated incorrectly? It's closed now, which irked me a little, but it's fair enough I suppose. The mods do a fantastic job and at the end of the day, they're posters just like we are. The close season is always going to bring a lot more OT threads because there's sod all else to talk about. I shouldn't have to put a warning on every thread I write, but as it happens, I thought that the content would probably offend some people and therefore put a title up that was obvious.

    You wouldn't buy a porn mag and then moan at the explicit content, so why read a thread titled "worst jokes ever" then moan that the jokes are offensive? Viewpoints about the McCanns, child abuse etc are irrelevant when making jokes. I'm pretty sure all blondes aren't stupid; jokes aren't meant to be taken seriously or literally, that's the whole point. It doesn't say anything about my political, religious or social standpoints and rightly so. Jokes are always contextual, people telling them assume that the person hearing it knows that the content isn't a true statement....I'll stop there, I can't believe I've had to explain how a joke works.

    If we're going to have debates, OT threads and the like then people need to lighten up and have a bit less of a standoffish attitude.
    Roll on July 15 when the kicking of a ball can begin in earnest.

    Really!!!

    I dont think you can either with your "IMPORTANT TOPIC"

    So your saying when sick comment or images are brought on a public football forum we should ignore and carry on? This person/ persons could have other things on/ his or computer and might need addressing but OLM say ignore it <ok>

    If you dont like the reply dont read it or **** off back to CI <ok>

    If i see a moral outrage as that thread i will always condone it, And as know one seems to want this to enter there private life's and stand up for what there have said your whole argument is bollocks.

    Poor responses, poor excuses (that's all they are) and the two ultimate cop outs: the site owner posts stuff that is worse (?) than this, so that's alright then (who is he, Ian Brady?) and, of course the last recluse of a fool; if you don't like it **** off. Poor, very ****ing poor. You've set your bar very, very low, I hope your families are proud of you, or do you not share your humour to that extent?

    Thats why we have moderators!!! So that's Bullshit! If you insist this was believe then add your name to it or do you fear reprisal? i dont porn mags with pictures or children do you!! Your "worst jokes ever" was to prevoke a reaction. Now if people come knocking on your door about your jokes? You know as well as i do that if your name got linked with this On FB or twitter you would be fooked! That fact you hide behind your user name does not back up anything!

    I find this post thoroughly offensive and I've reported it to the moderators, in the hope that one of them rapes your hamster.

    Sad bastard. <laugh>

    Have you noticed that the stupid, ignorant and uneducated are usually the most intolerant?

    Most religions seem to me to thrive on this fact.

    I just wonder if people think that growing tolerance in the world is a bad thing, and if perhaps we would be better off with a return to the "Old Values" of the more fundamentalist religions?

    Unless I've missed something, those kind of jokes are not spread about our football threads, It was you who introduced them - so could you class that as self-harm? Your so-called effort to save us all from that dross is pathetic and a sham. Common sense might tell you that folk have curiosity that leads to incredulity and then shock and disgust; you generated all of that, as I don't think any right thinking user of this board really expected to see some of that material, no matter how broad-minded they are. I like a good joke, I can use barrack-room language and humour, but some of you went to another place, you tested the board and you have been taken to task, simple as that.

    Let me be clear, I am not mod-bashing, but I do believe they made a serious mistake,but it is their piss-poor defence of that that fails some of us. But clearly, don't challenge, just **** off is the response from OLM; what, like he did with WYP?

    But thanks, Tommytiger, for explaining your point of view view in a reasonable manner; for what it is worth, I respect you for that.

    Who is the sad Bastard really! The one who wants to make jokes about rape but see's other topics far more important and believes sick rapes and child rape jokes should be ignored <ok>


    Yet again people think because they are on the internet there is no consequence for there actions!!! Now there is a program out there easy for you all to access which will provide all information (IP addresses) just on people who browse this forum, then you need another program to do the rest (dont what to give to much away) So your not as anonymous as you think! Unless your all using VPN.

    The excuse that any kind of sick material is allowed on this board as long as there's a warning in the title is the biggest joke yet.

    So if someone wants to post ***** images it's ok as long as the title says "Warning ***** images" ???

    Most people on here were brought up on offensive / bad taste / shock jokes and we all laughed our arses off at them, but most of the jokes last night didn't fit into that category.
    Sometimes a joke is so sick that no-one laughs, but instead they wonder about the joke teller.

    See, there's the problem right there. You took what I said completely out of context; I was making a comparison and you've spun it and inserted something about children in there. Don't ever do that, it's ****ing annoying is what newspapers like The Sun do.
    Who's going to be knocking on my door because of a joke? A joke in a thread titled worst jokes ever? If I put something on Facebook (I have done before) and somebody calls me up on it I'll gladly explain the thinking behind it. But it will never come to that, it never has and it never will. It isn't to provoke a reaction from anybody. It was simply a thread to siphon all the rude stuff into one place so that sensitive people such as yourself don't come across it in another thread. It comes across that you weren't content with simply letting people post jokes in one place, you wanted them gone all together, which in my opinion, is wrong. They're just words on a screen pal, I highly doubt a couple of knob gags are going to start a flash mob.

    That's a bit extreme. I think a better comparison is that if you had a thread titled "OT-Horticulture", you wouldn't go on it if you weren't interested in that sort of thing. You certainly wouldn't go on and say "oh my god, what a load of **** this is, why are you even talking about it, close the thread it's totally boring".

    i dont porn mags with pictures or children do you!! (unedited)

    Chien; although this appears badly written I think I understand what you are trying to say. However, porn magazines do have pictures and that is why they sell. I'll admit I've seen a few, but child pornography, gay pornography.... pornography in general is offensive only if the reader is offended by the pictures on display; which is unlikely, or he wouldn't have bought or borrowed it in the first instance. You cannot police the minds of others without a reactionary comment, and if you cannot accept that yours is not the majority view, there's little hope of you persuading them to accept your argument.

    So how many ***** jokes have you read on here in the last few months before you introduced us to yours?
    You obviously enjoy laughing at the idea of sex with two year olds don't you? And no doubt you were hoping you weren't alone ... Unfortunately you weren't.

    To be fair, it'sprobably my fault for not being on-line to moderate the comment you didn't post. I thought nobody was pming me about these posts and expected I read every message, but I reckon my in box is filled with posts that didn't get posted.
