Haha walked into that one.

Was more referring to the talks of holes and paper cuts on penises.

Ooo, the rolleyes. So withering.

You're not Pakistani. Stop acting so outraged over something that doesn't affect you.
Haha, yeah, so because racist terminology isn't directed at me I can't find it reprehensible.

Cripes, you're a piss-poor excuse for a human-being of times. That withering enough?
Yawn. Give it a rest, both of you. Frankly nobody cares and it is getting rather tedious.

Phoenix,

I shall no longer have a problem with Richard, as long as no one quotes him.

However, that last comment of his is beyond the pale. Of course, nothing will ever be done about it.

Richard's post still being up there, as well as him not being reprimanded is a joke. I don't think I'd last here too long if I started calling other people "piss-poor excuses for human beings"

Yeah, of course, you never called bond21 a "worthless ****" - and he didn't deserve it either did he?

BTW - being told "give it a rest" doesn't strike you as a reprimand? Yeah, I was pretty much expecting it. It's a price you have to pay sometimes in order to emphasise that a poster is way out-of-line.

Two wrongs don't make a right though, do they. And I was admonished for having a dig at Morgieb and have stopped doing it; you and Voltman don't seem to be able to leave each other alone. Kinda like two hornets nest poking each other with a stick, if that were possible.

And no, I don't think you were reprimanded. Your post was much worse than Voltman's yet you both got 'give it a rest'. How your post is still up there is a mystery to me.

I never said they did - I simply said that your notion that you'd not last long if you did it (ie, you were saying double-standards were in operation) was 100% incorrect.
**** off. I never called bond21 a "piss poor excuse for a human being".

As I recall, I compared him with a rat infested Eastern European border toilet.

Wow. So you were expecting to get told off by the mods and posted it anyway? That's trollish, for mine. Fair enough if you just weren't aware that you were over-stepping the mark, but to be fully aware of it and do it anyway shows a complete lack of respect for the mods and how we how handle things.

When the crime is worth the punishment, the punishment obviously needs to be harsher.

Here's your post, directed at bond21:
**** off and rot rather than pissing on other people you worthless ****.
Hard to see that that's any different from "cripes you're a piss-poor excuse for a human-being". Other than the fact that my post is perhaps a bit more sophisticated.

I can't really see how anyone would expect that anyone would be unaware that my comment was as you put it "overstepping the mark". That'd take basic lack of intelligence. As I said - I'll take whatever price must be paid for saying it. No lack of respect there at all - you must do what you see fit, and I must do what I see fit. I'll respect your decision, and I'll shut-up about Voltman from now on on this whole affair. But I'm not going to just let him say what he wants when it's so utterly wrong.

I felt Voltman's comment was utterly pathetic, I think my feelings regarding Voltman as a whole are pretty well-known, and I felt that comment was the best way to emphasise that.

I'd forgotten about that one. For what its worth, its hard to justify hypocrisy. :Shrug:

Doesn't mean that I shouldn't have been treated more harshly at the time. I'd have hardly complained, given the quality of my post. I can't even say that my post was less of an overreaction than yours (which yours was too, incidentally) as mine stemmed from an (apparent) misunderstanding of a Bond21 post.

Oh well. I'll just have to be a hypocrite.

Why did you even feel the need to link to Voltman's previous post, anyway? That's what started this whole debacle. If you just left each other alone, maybe this sort of **** wouldn't happen? Did you ever think of that?

And it must be pointed out that the person who made that remark wasn't aware of the 'term', when he was made aware, he apologized and then there was a British Pakistani 'Beleg' who said, it didn't offend him, looking at the context.

Needless to forget, Richard just ignored that went on and on and on.

& what happens to trolls....? :whistling

Oh My ****ing Gawd !!! Richard's hypocrisy is so appalling that mother Earth is going to puke **** today.

Not too long ago he was defending his friend's racist joke and today he is attacking Volty for nothing.

None of which is in the slightest relevant.

Nor am I the only one. Most British posters are and always have been keen to outlaw the term "pa ki" regardless of what those from anywhere else think of it.

I don't do hypocrisy.

Hahaha... yeah, poor old little volty who's never done anything wrong to a soul... I called a stupid comment a stupid comment, simple as. I defended Bennett against unfounded allegations that he was a racist, not defended his use of able-to-be-interpreted-as-racist comments. Like everyone else, I said that was silly.

Nice try at manufacturing contradictions though.

To point-out to Martyn that it's the we-mustn't-pander-to-the-wishes-of-those-from-anywhere-else attitudes hold things back greatly when trying to outlaw racist speak.
