I don't know if you read these forums much but there are WAY worse things said here, both in jest and seriousness. These forums would be doomed if the Uber-PC censorship that you are requesting from the site administrators were to be implemented. You really should just get over it. I am not at all surprised you did not receive any personal feedback on your complaint.
This is a public forum, accessible by ANYONE, posting here is like shouting from every rooftop, and being on every front page. If I stood up in the middle of London and told potentially racist jokes, I'd either have the hell beaten out of me or be arrested. Why should it be any different here.

Interesting thesis.
Originally posted by lauseyI use the word potentially, as whilst I belive it is a racist joke, others may not think so. If the site admin come back and agree that it was racist then fine, until then it might be racist. How's that?
What is the difference between a potentially racist joke, and a racist joke?
Originally posted by saffa73"Potentially". Are you kidding me. You're saying that geo-political commentary is "Potentially" racist....are you mad ?
Yes, it was a joke, a POTENTIALLY racist one, which I complained about.
Mugabe has killed his country, starved his people, and murdered his opposition, while the Blacks in Sout Africa do not have to deal with similar things, in comparison, life is rosey. So, even in humour, the statement that those in Zimbabwe are thinner that those in South Africa....is kinda close to the mark 😛

Crowley: Yeah, they're much slimmer for a start.
You think Russ should spend his time censoring this?

Who supported Mugabe in the begin? Who made him what he is today?
What do you mean with: The blacks in South Africa don't have to deal with the same thing?
Sorry... nothing has changed for them for over 100 years!
Originally posted by shavixmirPoor people will always have to deal with poverty and starvation in Africa, but your statement that nothing has changed in South Africa is exactly what i'd expect from someone who know shag all about the subject.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundYeah Shav. You know nothing. Life is rosey in Soweto. A veritable paradise...lifestyles of the rich and famous and all that.

Originally posted by saffa73I don't condone racisim but why is it that a black man can be as insulting and derogatory as he likes and it is never racist.
It concerns a post made by Crowley in the Sports Forum, the content of which concerned me as I beleived it to be of a racist nature. Crowley also continually insulted me in the forum and blasphemed as well.
So my original complaint was about him, that he contarvened the TOS on multiple occasions. The only reply I had from the site admin was to ask for a c ...[text shortened]...
There, have a go at me if you like, but I am angry, frustrated and hurt over the whole issue.
Get over it! I don't shout racist when the Scots take the mickey as we can't play football!
