racist posting

[Wheelsy]

There is (unfortunately) worse goings on in Off Topic than the Transfer forum on a regular basis.

The offending people have been officially warned, and doing it again will result in a ban.

Therefore, I don't get the reason for the attention seeking thread. And don't forget, if you want to cancel your account, that can be arranged...

I hope you stick it out mate, it's not meant personally, it's mainly pure ignorance, and they'll never learn unless there are people like you around to point it out to them just how personally upsetting stupid comments can be.

Seen a few racist posts tonight from at least 2 people. Not on, but no need to quit the board over. They've been dealt with by the powers that be.

Apologies :)

you sir are a bigger man than i 1st percieved, thankyou, and i appologisefor anything i have done in retaliation to you, i know it wasnt a personal insult, but it just wound be right up is all

however this post wasnt a direct link to just you, it was in general, but thanks buddy :-)

going on the advice of other posters here, i think i might still keep my account, however if i do noice anymore racist comments on the forum, which i know is out of peoples control, i will have to by principle refuse to part of such a forum, and make no mistake, its not that i am backing down on the issue, but more along the lines of, everybody can make mistakes, and quitting doesnt solve anything ..... i will keep the account but not for 1 second longer if anymore racism is spurted out.

i know your all thinking, "What an attention seeking, politically correct, mithering **** " (Wheelsy :-P) - i can assure you this is not the case, you can check my previous posts if you would like, but on this issue i felt compelled to bring it up.

sorry for causing a stir ladies and gentleman, it will not be a frequent thing,

thankyou all very much, i just hope people think before they post.

What has white, German God-bothering initiator of the Protestant Reformation got to do with it?

this is actually a phrase off a tv show called family guy, i used it as an ironic name, but in no way derogatory,

AND I CERTAINLY DONT COIN THE PHRASE - "only we can call each other that, not you" - any use of this word is awful and i never would call people it :-)

just reiterating - off tv show, used it as i only watched it on the internet just as i was registering :-) sorry if i have caused a stir :-P
