Would these people take issue if the thread was about Jeremy Corbyn and I called him scum? They wouldn't, they'd probably agree with me.

Lastly, it's been said that calling a politician scum is inflammatory but has anyone that's tried to come for me ever pulled up say, Brillo on her frequent uses of terms such as lefties, snowflakes and Remoaners? Why is what I said unacceptable yet you are all silent when one of your own uses apparently 'inflammatory language'?

I'll tell you why, because it's me, that's what the difference is here and it's completely hypocritical and until you can resolve those hypocrisies then I completely reject what you've said on the issue of me calling a politcian scum (and then explaining why afterwards, something that has been conveniently forgotten about in this thread).

As a mod, though, and if there are all these members complaining about other members derailing threads with Corbyn mentions, why would you use language that is pretty well going to inflame members to respond in a similar vein? You aren't stupid. The word 'scum' isn't really the issue for me, it's the way felt you could use it and then delete posts when you got comeback. You should be setting an example, not using your position in an blatantly unfair way.

It's saying 'Ha, I can say what I like, and so can anyone else who wants to name call Ree Moggs, but if you say anything about Corbyn, I'll zap your posts'!!!

Because of your position as a mod, you got away with doing that, and its disgusting.

You also said that mentioning Corbyn was off topic and not relevant, and it was not. A critical post about a possible future PM should be open to comparative critical posts about his opposite in the opposition party. To say otherwise is censorship.
