In court, his comment could probably have been filed under inciting racial hatred. Again, we knew he was joking, as stupid a joke as it was, but... So it would have got the board closed down, to be honest the topic is boring, Cav will return and hopefully he'll be more careful in future. If people are upset then they should tell people at the time, and I'm sure it'll be resolved in an adult manner. if not thats what we have Mods for................... Actually he's said he's not coming back. Can't blame him when worse has been said by people who then get made mods! Can't be arsed with this guys. Sorry.

Of course there are/were/have been cases of double standards at times (not gonna mention any) but Cav knew the rules and should have played by them. I'll be a bit sorry if he chooses not to return but that's up to him. Oh come on H, don't sulk - and don't imagine everything should go your way!

If people are upset then they should tell people at the time, and I'm sure it'll be resolved in an adult manner. if not thats what we have Mods for................... Neko's observations are the closest to the mark. Of course many people have made 'near to the knuckle' comments which could be deemed 'un-PC' on various grounds, whether racist, sexist, homophobic or whatever, and for the most part it is considered by most to fall within the boundaries of banter. However, people at times step over the line and if that is the case, action has to be seen to be taken. Cav's remarks yesterday, and a few days previous (on the Peter Jackson thread) were of such a nature as to purposely provoke posters, and of the PMs that were received, and the comments made on the thread, many of those offended are very familar with Cav's online persona and not relative newcomers who'd misconstrued his intentions. The fact that on both occasions, rather than retract the remarks, even in the face of objections, Cav decided to reinforce his stance for whatever purpose hardly helped to remedy the situation. The fact is that although Cav is one of the board's biggest characters, that does not give him the right to try and run the place and undermine the enjoyment other regulars get from it, just for the sake of getting some attention. Nobody wants this to be a place where you have to watch every word you type, but at the same time there do have to be some standards. If anybody has objections to anything that's said on any grounds, the procedure is quite simple. PM a member of staff and it can be dealt with.

What Hurls APPEARS to be suggesting was that you were soliciting for a PM from me, thus abusing your position for your own ends! I TRUST that you do not respect a right for those in positions of power to groom innocent young wards of theirs?!

You don't tend to get any trouble or annoyance from anyone. Which is good - no reason why you should! Most people respect your opinion Laura. Though on this topic, your desire to defend Cav's right to incite racial hatred "in a comedy manner" is baffling! Now let's not quarrel...
