stirling dear boy there was a clear cause and effect of lack of hygiene being derived from being either Asian or Islamic in your argument, that's what you were being called out for, more interestingly you stated recently that all nations ere ultimately ethnocentric, that's how they start off yes but I'd say they move to being lingo-centric, that's why the celtic fringe are so protective of the languages they mainly don't speak any more, you seem to think more in terms of anglo saxon genes, which is a point of view, not mine, mind, can a make a plea for less silly aggression

It's your view that you are free to express.

There is nothing wrong with referring to the cultural practices of groups. Those that wish to equate that to racism are really looking to censor speech. Where does that end? Yet the same poster stated something quite horrible about Christians....which is his hypocritical right.

A culture isn't a race....You have Muslims of every race. We even get leftist posters on here claiming that race doesn't exist. Opinions are the freeway of political forums. The censors would essentially limit that freeway.

No one on here said that all Muslims behave in a set way. Of course dishonest people want to portray that because they want to close you down.

Hopefully we soon get clear direction.

your attacking of the muslim community is very confusing for the leftist Gay community.

and even more confusing for the secular community.

i have a headache.

in seriousness I don't think it's an attempt to censor speech, it's more that people draw too far back from considering a possibly unpalatable truth, but the reason is not just that they're in denial, there is a danger you can put the cart before the horse and start generalising - there is no singular muslim community which tends towards multi generational living and absence of toilet paper, this is nonsense, saying Bangldeshi communities in east London may be more multi generational and herald from a country with differing standards of sanitation is quite another and the particular and the general should not be confused, there is a danger there which many are more wary of than you may be - but we shouldn't all be putting so much importance on our opinions, and the mods have been very discreet with one or two dodgy posts on here, not of yours btw, one poster generalised abominably and other made a f*ckwit remark about after shave - couldn't reasonably argue with some intervention.

Argumentation along these points is part of what we do.

I agree with a lot of what you say. I think if a post is too spicy then deleting that post is an option. I've had the odd post deleted in the past and while it's annoying it's the site's and mod's right.

I'd agree with you that this should be pretty rare as it's a hammer that, in the wrong hands, hits down with increasing frequency.

This comes down to a site's attitude towards free speech and I hold nothing personal towards individuals...well mods anyway. However, with recent actions and mod comments If this is how Hol is going to interpret it's rules now I need to know because it won't be for me.

I have lots of issues with Islam, I also criticise other religions as I do secularism.

Individual Muslims are individuals and I've always treated someone how I find them. Everyone deserves that right.

However, the idea that you can't express an opinion on holistic matters is not a censorship I think is either consistent nor tenable. We have had Wisbech Eagle and others on here talking on absolute and negative terms on what they consider the 'far right' with no nuance at all...Others, in the past, were using 'gammon' slurs...I didn't see any mod issue with that.

I and others weren't on here claiming that they shouldn't be able to express that view.

The ‘remark‘ I made, as you put it, can be taken however you want, and I know who’s taken it as a racist ‘remark.’ I made that comment in the same fashion I would taking the michael out of any type or worker/profession from any demographic.

You could actually read it as taking the Michael out of anyone saying Muslims’ hygiene is THE problem for them with the virus, although it could be A factor.

Anyone’s poor hygiene is an issue, including the gobby to co-op staff (white) tw@t last week who openly coughed everywhere before telling the young lad behind the tills he should be wearing latex gloves. Include builders who flush the petrol station toilet and leave it and their last night dinner stench straight after without hand washing, following being in there for a long time.

What do you think I think when I read your paragraphs that resemble a maze at Hampton Court?

In all seriousness I reckon daily and multiple prayer sessions to a non existent fictional figure is a likely venue where this is spread and possibly how young Muslim men hang about in groups. Then the inter generational homes ensure the elderly get the virus anyone younger is carrying.

Locking free speech whenever it is not in keeping with the BBC propaganda.

how many lefty threads have been locked on 'News & politics' in the last 12 months ? none as far as i can see.


And looking at the last few months or Locked Threads.......what flavour of thread, and who has been doing all the locking ?

I disagree, this site is turning into the soap box for about 4 or 5 people to spread their political views (some of it crude, some of it hateful, some of it spiteful, a lot of it antagonistic and some of it downright racist) without suppression. Anyone who contradicts is shot down. Anyone with an alternative view is shot down. I’ve had my spats with ME but he is right, some posters really need to wind their necks in a bit. This is first and foremost a Palace website with threads on alternative subjects, not a platform for world supremacy.

Many or all on here are in favour of a meritocratic system so I have no idea what you refer to as ‘world supremacy.’ Forget different rules, favouritism or positive discrimination. Just meritocracy please.

I’ve never seen mass prayer gatherings several times a day for Christians or more than a couple of times a year for the Queen that won’t be happening. I don’t know about Cliff Richard. Maybe you have experience of Cliff Richard parties.

So you aren't expressing your views? No one appears to be stopping you.
It does amuse me when people of a certain disposition complain about others expressing their views and shouting other people down when they would be the first to shut down any debate and ban the people who disagree with them.

And what on earth is this stuff about 'world supremacy'?
Are you taking hallucinogens?
