Is that your attempt at mediation, AllHell? If you want a debate on syllogisms, I am your man. Be prepared for a long night. If not, do your job as moderator and ban me for being racist.
Ponders I am well aware of what has happened to you and your family. Do I believe you are a racist....no.....(otherwise you would have been banned a long time ago, believe me) but your personal beliefs are rather extream with what you believe is some justification, however, you have to accept that other people hold differing views (with their own personal justifications) and these are as valid as yours. I have never closed threads on racism because I believe that issues need to be discussed rather than being tucked away to fester somewhere BUT threads HAVE to remain discussions and not slanging matches. I would never allow an EDL type thread on here but occasional (if heated) discussions on non footballing subjects should be allowed. BUT NEVER ON RELIGION! Your views are shaped by your own personal experiences but other people have their lives affected by racism in other ways, take Stephen Lawrence's family for instance. We all need to accept that not all white people are good and that not all black people are bad but society, as a whole, can have a positive effect on young people (both white and black) who are on the cusp of turning either good or bad.
Please read my response to Calydon on the Blatter thread. That is all that I will say on the matter. Thank you, though.
