Free Speech on the forum

[aposhark]

What is the policy on free speech on this forum?

I am asking this because one of my posts was deleted?

It was a response to someone saying "bring back golliwogs" which was racially offensive to my way of thinking.

Arthur did it once and it seemed it was a genuine mistake.

Why did it happen again and who did it?

[bornatbirth]

asking about free speech, anyone who's foolish enough to respond to you gets treated with contempt, so you started calling a another member a racist and it got deleted :doh, so what.

so what do you expect from this thread :Erm:

why do you think so many other members complain about you :doh

Your "way of thinking" is warped and it is the correct form of action to remove your insulting posts that brand other forum members racist.

Now now, we're all entitled to our opinion, I'll say no more.

Oh my a mainstreem comedy with a golywo.... oops toy in it.
Here are the comments from a black guy underneath the clip which he finds very funny.
"This is a funny sketch. I am a black man and laughed till I ached watching it, as with all the Extras episodes. Black people laugh at rascist jokes, but there is a time and a place and also depends on how it is said and by who. I feel sorry for people who are afraid to say black poeple of fear of affending, things have gone a bit far in the UK. If its funny just laugh, its comedy. I can tell the difference between humour and racism."

This is the bit the shark doesen't seem to understand:NoNo:

Are you implying that gollywogs are not offensive to a lot of black people?

[les_taxi]

Oh dear watch the clip above aposhark:NoNo:
Better write a stiff letter to the bbc for nearly saying golywogs and sambo.
Thank god you only represent yourself on here and maybe one other luckily the majority of the public including lots of black people can watch the above clip and not be offended.

Hey you just wrote' gollywogs' thats offensive in your book-stiched yourself up there sharkyboy :)

[Dedworth]

You are the funniest person on this forum :laugher::laugher:

As has been said before with your twisted outlook you imagine racism and islamophobia in anything and everything.

If you are still in the PI it's way past your bedtime, I've noticed that's a trait of your fellow Chuckle Brother - spouting online garbage at 4am :D

[bornatbirth]

apo, you never answer the question and still looking for a fight and its not going to work.

i will ask again whats the point of this thread and why do you thnik why so many complain about you :Erm:

[aposhark]

A question for you, Dedworth.

Just to see how you really feel, call it putting our cards on the table.

Are you for or against the BNP?

A "Yes" or "No" will be a good opener.

I am vehemently against everything they stand for. That's my honesty :xxgrinning--00xx3:

We've had all this tripe from you before and it has no relevance so I won't be responding.

[les_taxi]

A few for you Aposhark do you support our brave soldiers ?
Do you condemn the poppy burners?

[aposhark]

apo, you never answer the question and still looking for a fight and its not going to work.

i will ask again whats the point of this thread and why do you thnik why so many complain about you :Erm:

I expect free speech, for starters.

Also as I asked originally, who deleted my post?

Give me an answer to that.

[aposhark]

We've had all this tripe from you before and it has no relevance so I won't be responding.

It's a very simple question Dedworth :doh

Are you for or against the BNP?

Show your convictions.

[aposhark]

A few for you Aposhark do you support our brave soldiers ?
Do you condemn the poppy burners?

I am against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Our soldiers are brave for sure, but they should not be there.

Poppies are for many wars so people should not burn them.

[aposhark]

Les_Taxi

Have you ever spent any time in Muslim countries ?

Where do you get your information about Muslims?

[les_taxi]

No I have not been to a muslim country but have met plenty of muslims.
Reguarding information about muslims - What information are you refering too?

[aposhark]

It's not like you to be a wallflower Dedworth......

Don't sit on the fence.

Be man enough to answer the question :doh

It's very simple to be honest you know :Wave:

[aposhark]

No I have not been to a muslim country but have met plenty of muslims.
Reguarding information about muslims - What information are you refering too?

For example, tell me why you think our soldiers should be fighting in Afghanistan?

Dedworth's answer is still worth waiting for :Cuckoo:

Honesty is always the best policy Dedworth :xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:

[les_taxi]

I'm sure he certainly is not for the Bnp
I'm not either but what I do see is what's been said on here many times and I'm not getting into the same blooody arguament all over again,is that I do object to silly pc crap what goes around-no xmas lights as may offend etc etc-dont say black coffee say without milk (leeds city council) etc etc,not blackboard but white board-what a load of bull .....
mutli culturism has failed in the uk and I tell you now Shark you would not dare wander the streets of bradford on your own at night.
I unlike you live 20 miles away and I can tell you you would be lucky to not get attacked,but it's easy for you living so far away to critasize-you simply have no idea.
Being in a muslim country would be toatally different to being in the uk.

[KeithD]

Are you implying that gollywogs are not offensive to a lot of black people?

You'll find everything is offensive to someone, and if you are against gollywogs then you should also not use words such as:
Hooligan - Is based on the Irish being drunk - Use this word and you are an Irish racist in your eyes. :Rasp:
Vandal - Basically calling Germans swines, so use this and Apo will call you a German racist :rolleyes:
Hip Hip Hooray - How many of you have used this? All of you at some point, even Apo.... but what does it actually mean? It means you want to murder Jews ... oh dear :cwm3:
.... and many more daily words we use.


Are you for or against the BNP? I am vehemently against everything they stand for.
That makes you a racist to the BNP in your loose meaning of the word.


I expect free speech, for starters.



You get it here by the bucket loads but slander and libel is not allowed. You agree to this in the T&C by using the site. If you want to have a personal attack with someone, I suggest you meet them and say it to their face.

[aposhark]

Oh dear watch the clip above aposhark:NoNo:

I don't watch clips as my connection is too slow.
I was not discussing the BBC, I was asking you, I thought you knew that.
Your powers of reasoning towards the end was epic, taxi-boy :laugher:
I was under the impression that you knew the concept of quotes.......I was mistaken.
You are an amusing man taxiboy :laugher::laugher:

I think I have worked this out maybe the doc can confirm Aposharks condition.
He has a sleep disorder which wakes him up in a foul mood at 4am filipino time so he then vents this anger on a few as he had a bad experience with a jar of marmalade years ago and has nitemares about golly-toys:icon_lol:

I spent 22 years travelling the world, taxiboy, and have been in many cities at night in the UK, albeit in my single days.
I have lived many, many months in lots of Muslim countries and worked in 13 West African countries. I have been in 70 countries in all.
As you may imagine, travelling does open your eyes to wider issues that individual countries cannot see.
I have a zero tolerance for racism and religion and feel this attitude would help wandering the war-torn streets of Bradford.

[les_taxi]

I love it when you give a cocky reply then we all see you have cocked up in your own arrogance.
"I was not discussing the BBC, I was asking you, I thought you knew that."
You were asking Bornatbirth not me about the gollywogs:doh
go get some sleep:D

No keep him he is unique his logic is so easy to pull to bits you will spoil all our fun keith:D

"I have a zero tolerance for racism and religion and feel this attitude would help wandering the war-torn streets of Bradford."

Errrr..:Erm: I was just wondering, a few people here has told us that Aposhark has been a member of the other forum and he's been behaving well enough there and only winding up people here? Is he also commenting to religion views of the people out there? I'm sure most of the people in there, especially the ladies are very religious..I don't think he wanna mess with them either..:icon_lol:

[les_taxi]

No it will be fine it's only a bit of fun and I can tell that no-one appeared to cheat - no point really.
I will make it a tad easier next time-I just needed to get an idea the level to set it at as I'm a bit hardcore having won a few pop quizzes in my time:D

well lets hope it gets back to the good times happy times. i for one am happy today and talking to many many friends , seems like i have been away ages

[gWaPito]

This is cyberspace, you can be anything or anyone you want.

How about a Doctor or maybe a teacher even a retired space astronaut.......its a fantasy land for the fantasist.

I hope Apo gets help soon.....to set up another account in order to provoke more animosity is so desperately sad.

T here was me feeling sorry for him last night after getting the order of the boot.

M y sorrow was wasted :NoNo:

You could be right, Les ... anyway let's look forward to happier threads ... like the quiz :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[les_taxi]

Yes lets move on and forget hammerhead:icon_lol:

[Arthur Little]

From his posts i think he was more koran fan than bible :yikes:

Actually, Les ... he's neither. :nono-1-1: Sadly, there's no getting away from the fact that the majority of Brits are (shall we say?) :anerikke: "indifferent" towards Christianity - rather than professed agnostics or atheists. But Apo's a different breed altogether. He is vehemently opposed to ANY form of religion ... but particularly the Catholic faith into which he'd apparently been born. I can only speculate that his outright hostility stems from some [unspoken] trauma (possibly involving the Church) dating back to his dim and distant past. There again, I could be wrong ... but I've never "encountered" another person who got so worked up as he appeared to, over the very mention of the "R" word. And, of course, as most of us who are regulars here are only too well aware, as far as ANYONE "having the last word" is concerned, it always had to be HIM! :doh

[les_taxi]

I think he hid behind an islamic leaning,he already mentioned his time spent in many muslim countries and he clearly was not for any british values remaining.
Anyway we can debate this forever he was not as clever as he thought and having a go at keith was really a dumb-ass thing to do :icon_lol:

[gWaPito]

I know its easy now to cast stones at a guy with no arms but, if he'd had spent as much time and effort making money for his family instead of focusing all his attention on rubbing members up the wrong way, he'd be a rich man now.

RIP Apo :Wave:

[Arthur Little]

I can only speculate that his outright hostility stems from some [unspoken] trauma (possibly involving the Church) dating back to his dim and distant past. ...

... such as something he mentioned [at least once] about remembering the sight of his mother :D chasing her priest down the garden path! Ah, dearie me ... the mind boggles! :rolleyes:

[Arthur Little]

I think he hid behind an islamic leaning,he already mentioned his time spent in many muslim countries and he clearly was not for any british values remaining.

Perhaps he revelled in visualising Islam and the Koran as representing the Anti-Christ :anerikke: ... who knows!


... having a go at keith was really a dumb-ass thing to do ... :icon_lol:

:rolleyes: ... it sure was!
