1328337 2013-02-17 06:18:00 lakewoodlady, your post was fine, as were most of the comments following it.

Sorry if you felt our comments were directed at you. WalOne has it exactly right.

1328338 2013-02-17 06:22:00 This forum is getting so PC that it's hardly worth looking at. So far as I am concerned this country is a democracy where there is freedom of speech! If this is not the case, nothing will ever be discussed or sorted. The country will continue on its way of having a reputation for violent assaults, killing children and woman and ignorant poverty What the hell, so long as we have Rugby, Cricket and Beer, who cares?

Nothing wrong with free speech. Nothing wrong with open discussion. I'm all for both.

Where this forum clouds the issues is where the same old hackneyed phrases are trotted out and are of a disturbing rascist content.

It disturbs me where the same few voices hi-jack threads and post their rascist comments. Yet don't offer constructive arguments in support of their views.

Consider the definition of "bigot"



big·ot·ed
[big-uh-tid] Show IPA

adjective
utterly intolerant of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.


Bigots? We have more than our fair share on this forum.

Well Wal here’s your chance .

In this thread take to task the “Bigots” you speak of and anything presented as facts that you believe have no substance .

Don’t hold back, what you have posted so far is only unsupported generalisations so get stuck in, let's be more specific .

The Stage is yours . :)

There you go again, wanting reason from the likes of Wal, try turning lead into gold, you will have better success.

1328341 2013-02-17 07:56:00 LL, I don't think the Mods' comments were directed at you, they were more directed at those who hi-jack a thread as a platform to repeat their own interminable rascist and bigoted viewpoints.
Pretty much. Nothing wrong with you LL, don't stress :)

I care, but this is not the place for those discussions really. I'm as anti the aforementioned as anybody, but it's getting tiring seeing this all day, every day, on a PC Self-help forum, that's all.

Isn't this in the general "anything goes" chat forum and not the technical one??

Only the timing of this post is wrong. :(

You should have made it 20 years ago and you’d have been spot on. :thumbs:
