The Doctor... Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 The way he went about it on two occasions was totally wrong. If he was trying to be clever then rightly he's come unstuck. Forum rules are there for a reason. With what he said he crossed the line. Nobody, is bigger than this forum.. Give over you div. Does it not make you feel daft when there are so many likes on the opening post on here ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 That isn't the point. Plenty might be insulted to be called a homosexual. It's an accusation veiled in a witty way with no malice intended. John Cook himself may have take offence at it but that's what you get for throwing around name calling in malice or not. As already stated I don't see the need for either of the words in jest/personal attack/fun/good humour. I wouldn't be offended by it and been called far worse by less credible posters. you court debate at your own risk with a thread like that. I am still surprised he took a ban for it however as would have expected the thread being pulled or poster banned in the first 24 hrs of it going public. That isn't the point.

Do you think if SCB had posted Jon Cook is straight anyone would have batted an eyelid or he would have been banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being straight isn't seen as an inflammatory remark which is probably the point. However I think it would have been way funnier and made more of a point IMHO.

However I think it would have been way funnier and made more of a point IMHO. By saying its an inflammatory remark you are suggesting there is something wrong with being homosexual. That doesn't mean I agree or disagree with it.. Give up. You said you found nothing wrong with Middleditch using the term retarded. You've been shown up to be the utter hypocrite you are. You asked for proof, you've been presented with it. Once again you are not adult enough to admit you are wrong. YOU are the one who should be banned from the forum for your constant trolling, insults and jibes when you are caught out time and time again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackie Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 You certainly didn't go off on one at Middlo like you did at SCB. Which would lead people to the conclusion you agree with Middlo using the term.

stevebrum Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 By saying its an inflammatory remark you are suggesting there is something wrong with being homosexual. No I'm not. I already stated it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. You were stating reasons why he was probably banned for the use of the 2 words. I have no idea if that's true and I'd imagine nor do you. If he WAS banned for using either word doesn't that back up my claim? my whole point is you shouldn't be calling anyone something that MIGHT offend. Not everyone agrees with homosexuality so I can see why someone MIGHT be offended. Thankfully I couldn't care less of anyone's sexuality/ethnicity/disability/gender (add whatever list you want). I embrace all decent people irregardless of the above criteria . We live in such a politically correct society these days that anything can be seen as offensive , best keep personal remarks of the forum - it won't happen with the likes of pinny around sadly.

You've been proved a hypocrite by consistently choosing to ignore and condone Middlo for using the term retarded on a much bigger public platform than BSF. Xenophobic with your constant references to wales & sheep. Homophobic with your vile comment towards SCB and still you act as if butter wouldn't melt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw those comments, they were written with spite in mind. Well for me Wackie, i would say the use of such words would mean a ban.... The logic from a poster on another thread was that the test would be if you would be brave enough to say it to someones face.. and well, in the modern world, i think retard is diddly as far as offence goes. Call someone a faggot to someones face is a whole different ball game.. call them a faggot, you'd be flat on your back with a broken nose. Looks like it's time everyone reported Starman!

Rob VDS Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 By saying its an inflammatory remark you are suggesting there is something wrong with being homosexual. Rubbish. In the same way SCB using the R word in his context was clearly not meant in an offensive way, you know as well as I do that calling someone gay in certain contexts (usually in the school playground) is meant to be inflammatory.
