I've been sent a link to the HOL rule book and yellow carded for describing this poster using abusive language.

However his use of language is in contravention of the same rule because it is racially objectionable and abusive.

I note that Mr Sizlak hasn't been yellow carded for describing my wife and large numbers of my friends as being a bad lot just because of where they were born.

Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care if I (also) get banned from the HOL.

I was just wondering if it's normal for the moderators of this site to turn a blind eye to racist dick heads whilst banning other people just for using the word prick?

Why not just offer a counter argument without the need for insults?

I say don't worry about it.

Having a personal coterie of sniping trolls is the sincerest form of flattery one can have.

They must worship you if they spend so much time waiting for you to post and respond to you.

When he said 'Eastern Europeans' I'm sure it's just his auto correct, it should've read 'Millwall are a bad lot in general'

Most trouble I have ever seen people get in to is by talking about alleged indiscretions by our former manager. The mods care more about people supposedly crossing some libel line and don't give a toss about xenophobic knobheads and the like.

There is a difference.

A cry of 'Xenophobia' is largely subjective on bulletin boards and is often used a weapon used by people to stymie debate.

Libel is different and is moderated differently because it viewed differently in the real World and can have a profound effect on the HOL.

I don't like this poster either...if I hear another, 'it's Pardew's fault' post I think I'll kick my non existent cat....but....come on.

As for bringing race into it. How have your decided that? He might to referring to general cultural differences...and how are other Europeans different in race terms to this country of Europeans? I don't feel that it's an intellectually honest accusation.

I agree with your first point but not your comment about his post not being racist.

Let's just change two words so that his comment reads like:-

"Blacks are a bad lot in general.
And we're finding this out due to the open door policy."

There is no doubt that if he had written the above there would have been an outcry but whilst it seems acceptable to defame Eastern Europeans as a group it isn't to black people.

With the greatest respect, two moderators posted in the thread so should have seen his disgraceful racist comment

To say nothing of the Welsh.

Two points: Shouldn't he have just said "People are a bad lot in general". Also, perhaps he was using urban slang, used by lots of people, when he said 'bad', so in fact welcomes an 'open door policy'.

The OP called the other fella a Pr1ck more than once.

The Hol rules are clear and concise... I say good job done here by the moderators.

If you disagree with someone's opinion debate sensibly with them without the need for abuse.

If you feel another poster has overstepped the mark refer him/her to a moderator.

If we don't all observe the rules the site will descend into chaos.
