Default Whats with all these \"Racism\" arguements?

They are everywhere, I mean Angie's thread about the doll has become a debate (although the threads in Serious debates have a purpose)

Its a bit depressing seeing them all over the forum is all
The forum seems to have gone "Racism" crazy, and peeps are falling out about it

Aw ang, dont leave I only talk to you on here and I will miss you. I think its people like us that just need to prove to the PC brigade that we are not putting up with it. Its rather pathetic and if you dont like a conversation people should learn to ignore it.
Dont leave over this ang, you still have lots of support.

Ive had a day from hell, and not made much better when finding 5 messages from people who have been so offended by the use of the word Golliwog

Believe it or not one of those chooses to use the word ****** in everyday speech without finding it a contradiction. So this on any day was enough to drive me nuts but.......... today its a definate no no...

Leaving, I dont know I'm tired fed up and misreble right now, and not just over this forum.
One things for sure I wont EVER let my friends down, so I guess I'll be going nowhere for now.
I just need a rest I think

I must say today... I have noticed alot of rude posts, seems the forum is going in a rubbish direction... I can see myself posting alot less for that reason. But im trying to not give in haha, just seems a general lack of respect from a lot of people these days.

Glad to see you are staying. I am guessing I am one of the 3 as I have taken the opposing view point on a few things. If I was one of the 3 then you are wrong. I would not be happy to see you go. But on a forum you will have different view to people. I have backed you up on a couple and not on others. personally I think taking Lauren advice about putting people ignore is not a good idea. If you did that than you would only ever speak to people who have exactly the same views as you. That would make a very boring world.

For the record I was not one of the people that mailed Angie.

Yes, but some people don't come on TiBB to debate. They come on here to enjoy themselves, as an escape.

Then why post a a poll that is going to get very opposing viewpoints? As she knew it would.

I stand by my point about not putting people on ignore. You suggested I do that with you. If I had we would not be talking to you now. I disagree with you on some things. I have agreed with you in the past. I see it continuing on like that.

I suggested that because you posted to specifically tell me you take my opinion with a "pinch of salt". I'd honestly rather you didn't hear my opinion than constantly remind me that you don't take it seriously.

"constantly"

Once.

I have told you I disagree with you on more than one occasion. And I refer to my above point.

Yes but you said it as a general point, as in my opinion in general you will take with a pinch of salt. I obviously expect people to disagree with me and that doesn't bother me, it happens more often than not - but someone who takes my opinion as a pinch of salt doesn't mean you simply disagree with me, to me it sounded like you didn't add much value to it.

Absolutely Lauren,
And at a rough guess Id say the Golliwog thread would have taken even someone of average intelligence no more than 40 -50 words to realise it was no big and issue and was in fun, a personal story which could have been easily ignored.

I cant see how this offended anyone to be honest but the fact it supposedly offended 2 white people does really begger belief.
Sticks will always come across to me as someone who is only a life, short of being an interesting guy,
but Nurse57???
I cant believe a joke thread on golliwogs gets the back up on someone using the Nazi flag in a avatar, he claims its ironic humour............ now how ironic is that?

Girth claims to use the N word and wasnt really offended by Golliwog, he probably thought you know what its about time I just added some controversial cr*p to what was a fun post, why not just take it to a serious debate, rather than ruin what the majority were doing in that thread..........having fun.

I guess there lies the issue some really sad twits cant handle that and therefore bring others down.
I never thought I'd ever use the ignore option here, and I still dont want to, but I'm equally fed up with walking on egg shells for these spoilt people who just cant leave others alone, it was a flamin story about a doll for christs sake.

I will not go, I was silly to even think that, but having considered everything Im afraid to say 3 are now on my ignored list... it seems they know who they are.
Thats real sad, but its they who chose to go out of thier way YET again to spoil what was a fun thread which they had a right to simply not read if they wished, or at least report the thread to me ot the site admin.
