and a few posts or GfJ's deleted Yes - that was me. Realisng that I cannot make a comment about someone elses views being uncomfortable to me, I decided to re-read what was said on the Corridors thread last night. Those comments were at least on a par with some of the comments posted on another thread tonight and I decided they had to go - at least the ones I posted (although I can't obviously remove my comments when they've been quoted). It was wrong of me to have made the remarks I made last night even in jest. And I hold my hands up to the tone of that conversation. It will be up to Ro and Gres to decide if their comments should stand. We've all got to be responsible on here irrespective of what views we may personally hold. There's a collective accountability to this site that the conversations on here remain lawful. Let's face it, if Proboards came knocking in the last two nights, there would be enough damning evidence on this site to have it closed down and none of us should want that.

That thread went over the top, as agreed by the poster who started it, Silenced? you can debate what you want, like you do day in day out mate, but we have to draw the line somewhere, one of your comments was way out of line on that thread.

Thats right and I think if people use their common sense its clear to everyone roughly where that line is. Prejudice based on someone's race, religion, country of origin, skin colour or whatever is over it...and we all can identify that. I think the said thread degenerated quite quickly. Incitement to religious or racial hatred is against the law if nothing else.

b4 the slight over reaction thread was removed comments were made about people being racist then the same people deleting their own posts in other threads that were just as bad not you POG And for the record, I didn't call anyone racist in the removed thread. I said I felt uncomfortable reading the thread. I even owned up to being just as guilty of posting the same kind of comments. The reason why I deleted my own posts on the corridor is because the corridor is the longest running thread series on this site. I felt my posts could have threatened the existence of a thread that many of us read, particpipate in and enjoy being a part of. And here's a turn up for the books, lay off POG. I read nothing in the removed thread that he said that was out of place. As for its removal to archive, personally I think that was oddly long overdue. We all need to build a bridge and got over it. And that doesn't just mean on a two-bit message board. Life's too short.

the double standards come in where as GfJ admitted the things in his opinion which were said on the coridoor last night were just as bad as what was said tonight. But on that occassion nothing was said and jokes were made about it. Tonight the thread gets pulled and people are labelled racists

A joke that is doing the rounds just the same as Fred West,Peter Tobin,Harold Shipman the list goes on. i posted that Tobin/West joke up, its harsh yes but its not racist, if i recieve a racist joke i delete it, ive even told my dad to stop sending me them cos occasionally they can be funny, im not gonna sit here and deny that ......but some are wrong and cruel and i dont like them

To be fair, I think that Ash called it right on the thread. I can't say that I can defend the intolerance of the extremist element of the Sudanese, and I have no desire to even try and understand, comprehend or justify their mindset with regards to this issue. I also feel that it would be a fair point to make about double standards in respect of free speech as regards religion; in the UK, Islamic preachers are allowed to preach the destruction of Western society in Hyde Park yet calling a teddy Mohammed is somehow a matter for outrage. I can understand resentment for the wide dichotomy in terms of tolerance, but the remark made - albiet a joke - could have been construed as a more general and savage attack on a race, rather than a extremist group, so it had to be moved. I'm sure the poster in question didn't intend it maliciously, but others may have interpreted it as so, and as such it had to go. Can we now move on please.
