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.
That there are worse things out there, does not make this one any less of an issue.

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.

The potentially racist joke allegation. No.

The rest of the allegations agiants Crwoley. Yes. For insulting me and abusing his power as a mod.

So without racism there would be nothing to talk about on these forums?

Interesting thesis.

What is the difference between a potentially racist joke, and a racist joke?

No. My thesis is that with an extreme level of moderation this place would go to the dogs.

Speaking of dogs, how's your wife doing?

I 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?

Yes, it was a joke, a POTENTIALLY racist one, which I complained about.
"Potentially". Are you kidding me. You're saying that geo-political commentary is "Potentially" racist....are you mad ?

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?

Would it be a racist statement if Crowley was black ?

What the hell are you saying here Huckleberry?

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!

Poor 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.

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

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.
I 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.

Get over it! I don't shout racist when the Scots take the mickey as we can't play football!
