And Devoxu

"Calling someone a Homo, would that not be termed as Homophobic, is it because he is a friend of Vicky "

I dont have 'friends' on here. its a forum, if anyone I speak to more than others said anything I considered out of line, their post would also be removed and a warning given if neccesary.

Sorry for the late reply, just got online.

Rubbish Vicky, Harry Rag did abuse DoctorDoctor1k and you know it. You were involved in that post.

Shortly afterwards you became a moderator, unbelievable.

Harry Rag seems to have abused someone else today in another post it seems as posted above.

Is the OP being over sensitive?

It is easy to cite racism or homophobia if something is written that you do not necessarily agree with.

Marcus gave short shrift to BB when he was accused of making racist comments to Sree. The same should be the case here, political correctness is often a ploy to silence the opposite view.

No the OP is merely voicing something he feels strongly about

The OP may well feel strongly about the subject but that does not mean he or she is right.

I feel strongly about many things but I am not necessarily right in the eyes of others. It is when those views are censored or dismissed as homophobic, racist or xenophobic in an attempt to stifle them that I object to.

So calling someone a Homo is politically correct by you then.

I didn't say that. That's exactly what I mean about using homophobia in an effort to smear the views of somebody else. You don't know my views on homosexuality anymore than you know the name of the football team I support and indeed even my sexuality.

If I called someone a "homo" and I was gay myself, would that be ok? If I was black and I called someone a n**** would that be ok? Do you know I am not black and homosexual?

It's easy to dismiss someone by claiming they are xenophobic, racist, homophobic without any grounds and you have just illustrated the point perfectly.

You have missed the point.

errr...what point exactly?

Should posters who are abusive to others not be banned, any easier for you

hmmmm...okay. Well outside of xeno/homophobic postings how do we decide who/what/when is abusive to others?

Its very context sensitive.

Ahhh, hold on a minute, yes i see, YOU decide what and who is offensive to others?!

Hmmm no thanks; You dont get to decide. you ever read Orwell's novel?

Yes I have read it have you, So calling people homo and ****** is ok with you then. Do you get called that then, do you like people calling you names and abusing you.

Wow Devoxu take a politically correct chill pill, man.

Can I have a link to that thread please?

Plus, if it was before I became a mod, can I ask how you think I could remove the post? Or do anything about it?

And I have not been online today when this user has been 'abusing someone'.

google · 21-08-2009, 07:38 PM

I don't have any links at the moment i will forward them in future but my point is even though i have reported some, they are ignored mostly or not always dealt with.

Thats the point though Harry Rag was reported by the poster yet Harry Rag is still posting on here and the person who was abused got banned. Why.

I agree Harry rag comes out with offensive homophobic remarks

He created a thread about me - making some very uncalled for remarks - but it was quickly removed by the mods! He, however, has been posting since!

Fancy a bum anyone?

If you read my postd s l o w l y and carefully you will see that i have never condoned any kind of xeno/homophobia at all.

You are now resorting to the very behaviour landua(sp) was getting at in their succint and informed posts to you.

You seem to be getting very upset and close to hysterical re this whole thing.

The mods do what is needed balanced with having a free and open forum.

I repeat that, personaly, i have found this forum to be largely free of xeno/homophobia, and it is certainly not, as you seem to be stating, rampant with such ills.

all the best
Scott

Attention-seeking thread. Moderators do not allow racist and homophobic remarks, so you have got your facts wrong.

DoctorDoctor1k was banned because it was another account of a banned member. And it looks like Devoxu might be too, hence the twisting of the facts. I will look into it more.
