Symbol Owner Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 rupert123 - 2014-11-05 3:48 PM Both 'sinning' threads have been moved, as it happens I agree with this, about time too. It looks as though our Moderator ('Only Human') has been at work at last, Henry, He/she has deleted the 'Migrants at Calais' thread too -- another 'good thing' I deem! Cheers, Colin.

mikejkay Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Nothing like a bit of censorship to remind us of the world we live in. Whoever was responsible for removing the "sinning" thread is desperately in need of a very large injection of humour. The removal of the "calais" thread is simply an example of political correctness and the irresistible desire of some people to impose their views on those that don't have similar opinions. This comment may well suffer the same fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 What is this life if full of woe we have no time to sin and go. No time to see when woods we pass where sinners hide their nuts in grass. No time to turn at sinners glance and watch them sinning in a trance. A poor life this if full of pomp we have no time for sinners romp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The sinners, led by chief sinner Mel, have only been moved so they/we can carry on sinning elsewhere which you can hardly call censorship - housekeeping maybe but certainly not censorship?

Brian Kirby Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I don't think there are any "thought police", Dave. If folk would just express their opinions in a reasonable way, with some consideration for the sensitivities of others (bearing in mind this is a public forum, not a private gathering), pretty much any topic could be discussed without interference. Problem is, folk won't follow this simple rule, so posts get pulled - presumably to protect Warners from the risk of prosecution. I'm sure it is the crude and clumsy way views are phrased, and not the sentiments expressed, that are the problem. Why do some seem to go out of their way to cause gratuitous offence? Is it really that difficult for folk to say what they want in reasonable terms? Just a moments thought would help in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The only sensible post on this topic is Brian's.

rupert123 Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Some strange comments specially Brian's. Now I agree the threads should have been moved but the one I started was 100% good humoured. I started it as a gentle p**s take and much to my surprise it continued in that way.

How was it in any way offensive, explain please. ...your thread has been treated entirely in accordance with your view above - it has simply been moved to Chatterbox (where, to be honest, it is a better "fit") Brian was replying directly to Dave (pelmetman) on the matter of the complete removal of the "Calais" thread - an action that was (IMO) deserved and taken rather later than it should have done.

If we could all just leave our own egos and ill informed bias beside the keyboard instead of sending it here when posting this forum would be a happier place for the majority. Boring - but maybe happier? Well, the (now 3) "sinning" threads are among the most boring and irrelevant things I have ever read. Some will say, if you find them boring, stop reading. I tried, but like driving past a car crash, it is really hard not to look. I was pleased that, until now, I was able to keep my ego in check and refrain from posting, but having finally weakened I suppose I must accept that I am just as bad as the rest of you. I will try harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think his comments have anything to do with your thread. Agree about it being moved and if you look I said as much. Brian's reply seemed to be a general one about all three threads to me I am just curious how he thinks it is in any way offensive, would rather he replied himself than have others 'second guess' him.

pepe63xnotuse Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I wouldn't have thought there was much in the way of "seconding guessing" involved there?. Brian was obviously responding to Dave and his reference to "thought police" and the deletion of the "Calais" thread... (..does this count as "third guessing"?....

mikejkay Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The problem, Brian, is that what one person considers to be gratuitous offence is another persons legitimate opinion. This country is sliding inexorably towards a state where a non politically correct opinion is not allowed. The banning of Alex Salmonds effigy at a bonfire event in Lewes because of a complaint is a classic example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
