No, we just closed the thread (if you're talking about GG's post). I find it weird, though, to be fair, that you think calling the mods nazis is perfectly fine, while moaning about someone being called racist. You are a smart chap, I am sure you get it just fine. Not as smart as you, though, eh? |

So the mods delete threads they consider racist but allow ageist threads. Come back GG and be a mod then you can say whatever ignorant offensive crap you like and the mods will support you. f**king nazis get everywhere Where are the ageist threads? Who are you referring to as a nazi? Someone made reference to being too old to change or something similar in yet another one of these rediculous threads where name calling got out of hand. Then someone else took yet more offense. Apparently we should stamp down on every little thing because if we don't we are Nazis. But if we over moderate we are Nazis. |

I believe "Neo Stalinist" is the correct term.

I saw the link he was making. I see making that link weird. It's one of those things that looks fairly logical in a vague word-association sort of way, but when you break it down, it's nonsense, in my view. |

Anyway, call me a nazi, but I'm moving the thread to GC, coz it clearly belongs there more than here.

I have never been involved in racist post and was trying to lighten the thread. sorry it went over your head but your response was interesting ~ next time if u have an issue PM me |

I'm with you Hugo if it's good enough for mods it's good enough for the rest of us PS I know you weren't responsible for the offensive agism |

Very well said, if only people could moderate themselves and behave like normal humans. Yeah, I should say none of what I've written is a reflection on the OP. I think he raised some good points particularly about being more even handed particularly with WUMs. This tirade isn't a reflection on my post and therefore me?  F@ck me Hugo, I wouldn't like to be on the end of a stern telling-off from you then! I know I said I wasn't going to comment further, but come on! |

Apologies. I was just answering your OP point by point then sort of meandered off on one a little. I think that your post was just the proverbial straw. I stand by what I wrote and your post did prompt it, but it was meant to be a catch all aimed at the forum in general, not you specifically. Maybe it was because I genuinely like and respect you as a poster that I felt comfortable in replying in the manner I did. I can think of many who wouldn't have responded how you have done.  To be fair, my wife and son both say I come off overly stern sometimes so you're in good company. |

Are you here to participate in football chat about BRFC or deliberately trying to get a rise out of the mods and the rest of the forum? C'mon gashead1981 , i'm sure you could see the humour in that reply to what hugo posted, the bugger got there before me . It appears that at the moment you are taking things personally, step back have a brew then hopefully you'd have chilled, i've been where you are now, and sometimes it feels like everypost is a personal dig, but i'm sure it's not intended, thing is we have people of all leanings on the forum, some have very strong opinions of certain things. I'll get personal with you next week  |

What I find to be reprehensible is that the mods let the thread run all day. I had a feeling we weren't being told the whole story, but I didn't want to directly confront the mods as a direct question would be easy to deny outright. Instead I nibbled and teased and eventually the mods fronted up as to what happened. I find this a bit weird, as well. You seem to be accusing us of being reticent to reveal what happened, or trying to hide it, or something. As far as I'm concerned, we asked about among the mods whether GG had been warned. Everyone on line at the time said 'I didn't warn him' or 'as far as I know he wasn't warned,' etc. So I posted that he wasn't warned. Then when 81 came online, he said 'I warned him.' So, I deleted the bit where I'd said he wasn't warned, and posted the correction (in reply to you, iirc). And 81 posted what had happened. I said I didn't want to discuss this further but I feel justified in writing a few lines in rebuttal of your comments. I have to say I find your attempts to explain away your every action a bit weird as Well. Call me Al and Hugo have both said the matter could have been handled better, but that they stand behind other Mods decisions. I wouldn't expect anything else. There's a bit too much "No mea Culpa" in your replies. It's not necessary and just stops short of standing in the centre circle at half time with a bowl of water ceremonially washing your hands. As to Chewbacca's post, Vile racist Scumbag smacks of PC dogma, however I will bow to your superior knowledge. Perhaps in time a GG race joke will be considered in a different light if he develops a reputation as a "Drive-by WUM" Such personal abuse should never be acceptable, and that's what I've been arguing through the last 2 tortuous threads. I really am not going to comment further, but sometimes a stand has to be made. |

Well, istm you were implying that we were trying to hide something. All I have done is explain the order in which stuff happened, and explained that although I gave the wrong info out initially, as soon as I had the right info, I corrected my mistake. That seems to be a pretty reasonable position to me. Would you really rather I have said 'the matter could have been handled better,' rather than actually explaining what the matter was, what went wrong, and how we put it right? |
