Offence is taken not given. If you find his tweets offensive then don't read them. People are now seeking out his tweets so they can be offended.

It's just the usual "disgusted from Tunbridge Wells" nonsense.

I don't think homophobia is the same as pro-nazi...

[ThriceShy]

That's a good question actually. If the tweets are so offensive then why do people keep reposting them on here?

ThriceShy you convinently forgot to post the definition of '***'

Am I surprised...

You need another metaphor

It's not a metaphor. She had the uniform and everything.

Take a shot at answering it then.

I am fascinated by the mentally of people who would find some racist offensive tweets then rush to share them so dozens of others can be offended.

Well, I haven't posted any tweets.

Are you suggesting I answer on their behalf?

Marsh didn't post them so maybe you should try asking the right person.

I didn't think that Tila should have been removed for outside comments, so in that sense Amdrew should not be, but since Tila was removed I guess Andrew should be too. I guess I'm on the fence

How dare someone come across information about a Big Brother contestant and share said information on a forum dedicated to discussing Big Brother contestants.

The mind boggles with that kind of logic.

[ThriceShy]

Marsh shouldn't have responded to the post then.

I'm free to respond to whatever posts I like.

Maybe you should keep track of who you're conversing with and not get posters mixed up?

The mind boggles with that kind of logic.

But if, for example, that downs syndrome tweet is so vile and offensive then why would you want others offended by it?

If those tweets are racist then the people posting them on here are posting racist tweets. In my book that is as bad as the original author.

He's allowed to respond to anyone he wishes.

Like you decide to not respond to me questioning you over the derogatory slang word ***

That's like saying someone who provides evidence of a crime is as guilty as the perpetrator. That kind of logic doesn't hold up.

that was my point

Well actually you were defending him and agreeing with other's defences of him in the other thread up until it emerged he'd mocked those with down syndrome

People being able to fight back doesn't make discrimination any more or less acceptable. Again, it isn't a competition. You wouldn't say of an adult male victim of assault compared to that of a female child victim, 'well he could've fought back!', would you? Both are wrong and it's the same here

So it's that kinda thing if that makes sense, we all have a perception of what's worse than the other.

I don't see how that's really comparable though. The Helen incidents were open to interpretation, Andrew's comments aren't - they just exist objectively

LT didn't seem bothered when it was just the homophobic tweets being shared, but did when the down syndrome one emerged

No is winning with more than 70% of the vote

We aren't such delicate flowers after all.

[VanessaFeltz.]

These tweets are useful because we can clearly see how people are thinking... or used to think.

He didn't respond when I provided him with the stats he asked for in the last thread either

It figures

There is quite a good reason for that. The people I was wiping the floor with got it closed.
