'Pained reaction'....I don't really care about a left wing person having opinions....that's fine..In fact it's good...It keeps the right honest...society benefits by having to accommodate diverse views...I just point out hypocrisy when I see it because I see a lot of it. If someone takes high moral positions it often can be contradicted later on.....So they should rightly be very certain about what they say if they don't want 'feedback'.....Which we earlier agreed was a good thing I think.

You're right...I don't care about an idiot (not you) saying idiotic things outside of a controlled environment...as long as that's all it is...It's something I'll suffer for the greater good and the necessary blurring that subjectivity brings.

I don't disagree in that the more strident the view, the more, on one level, the individual thinks they have some kind of moral high ground.

I was replying to someone saying basically who care about what is said about Sol Campbell, so that was my reply.

Your problem I'm afraid is that you consistently have the sensitivity of a ballerina and a real visceral pained reaction to anything said and done by the left... but a zero empathy, 'who cares' take on anything said about minorities. There is no connection there. You get the theory of it, but you don't really care. That's why you can't let go of this 'animal' comment. You think you've caught me out somehow, when really you just reveal that you don't care if people have spittle flying out of their mouth as they yell out stuff about aids or ******s. Well done you.

I was pointing out that people were charged and publicly shamed for abusing Sol Campbell at a football match.

You said you were referring to online abuse. That wasn't clear.

You have whatever opinion you like of Sol Campbell, that is your right. It is my right to say if there was a rumour about him, especially if I say it is untrue or unfounded.

Yes of course I've not suggested anywhere that you can't have an opinion on whether someone is gay or not.

Take a quick look at the posts on the "Away Fans" page on this website under "Things you would find in the Seaweed club shop" and then tell me that we don't have a lot of puerile homophobic fans here at Palace...

True...but that's not really what we have been discussing. We have been waffling about whether or not something should be done about it.

Godwin's law incoming!

Unless you have absolutely no self control it's not going to be a problem is it? Stuff chanted out by thousands of fans in good humour is hardly going to get highlighted or acted on.

'Free-Speech Taliban'....Sounds like the least likely James Blunt song ever.

Expect the FA to indeed throw the book at us if there's a chorus of homophobic chanting from large sections of our fans.

They'll have every right to and should.

Time to move on from that chant.

I think a lot of people on here are missing the point. It's not about a handful of t***s writing offensive posts on here. It's about hundreds if not thousands of Palace fans singing homophobic songs at matches.
