Bloody Sunday!

You don't know me or Tequila, but you use an absolute statement that it is impossible for him to get along with people who are Irish because he is British.

And neither of you know me hows that for a blanket statement what ever the bloody hell that means

I know. It's like saying that blue eyed people find it impossible to get along with green-eyed people.

Irish and British people share the same language, food, much of the same culture, much of the same media and so on. We're very similar. Most Irish people in the Republic don't give a toss about Northern Ireland, they're just Irish. The same applies in England. Most people don't give a toss about Northern Ireland here either.

Joker (ha!), a blanket statement is when you say "all people are X".

We speak the same language now but historically we spoke the Irish language that is befor the brits came to irealand and similated our culture with theirs. You mention a blue eye person not getting along with a green eye person. When you have such anger towards all muslims and their religion. So care to explain that lad?

Check your PM.

Ah, excellent. Agreement achieved!
No mater how many times I try there is inevitably something that leaves room for the wrong impression to be formed from what I write...
So no, there is absolutely no equivalence on any level I can think of - they're entirely separate issues.

Oh wow, this is funny but I'll try and be constructive.

I am more than capable of reading the rules, if you bother to check the rules for moderating PPR are IDENTICAL to the rules for moderating the Haven.

I thought aspies were supposed to be detail oriented and sticklers for this kind of thing, given the amount of time mods always spend enforcing the rules is it not about time you guys decide on what the moderation policy actually is and then all stick to it?

Is it Tallyman's excellent post, or is the 'forum rules' at the top of each board? The two are radically different.

Seriously, I'm trying to be constructive, I've never known a site with areas for political and religious discussion that is so eager to nanny and jump to censorship, perhaps you need specialist mods for different areas, that is the usual way to deal with these issues.


For the funny part



Please read this thread,

1) Joker, the OP has made his gushing and unequivocal support for the IRA abundantly clear on this thread so he is definitely championing them.

2) That the IRA are terrorists and murderers is beyond doubt, they are on every terrorist watch list in every civiliesd country in the world and claim many atrocities as their own.

3) A moderator admits they have a big problem with the content of this thread and decides to lock it, the same moderator then decides to unlock it.

4) I make this statement: " the mods seem to think championing murderers is a ok on this site"

5) That is a statement referring to Jokers support for the IRA, which is beyond doubt in this thread: Joker -So I feel no shame in supporting the IRA. But it is still fun to debate about at least talk about.

6) You decide to miss quote me and threaten me: " I would strongly advise you to stop insinuating that the moderation team is championing murderers on the basis that we allow a discussion to continue in PPR, because that's sailing very close to being a personal attack."

In your very next post however we get this:




So let me get this straight Cornflake, I make a statement that accurately sums up proceedings and you call it a personal attack (after rewriting it) but when you decide to accuse Tequila of having a 'hissy-fit' and calling him a 'princess' that is not a personal attack?

How about you apologise for your disgraceful behaviour?

Do you actually think Tequila is a princess or did you decide to call him that just to insult him? Where exactly is he a princess of? Please elaborate on how you made this mistake.

Exactly why is that mods decide to throw around personal insults all the time to posters they disagree with while at the same time deciding to bully them by rewriting their words and accusing them of making personal attacks?

Your answer please?

I find it funny that Tequial talks about me being (Irish American) but yet he goes on his own crusades against Muslims and Islam yet I am not allowed to have my opinons and beliefs about the IRA or not even allowed to support Sinn Fein with out Tequial gettting upset.

Oh so now your taking shots at me for also being German.

I'm not going to play word games with you DC.

Elsewhere, you state that nothing good comes from suppressing freedom of speech and thought and you whine that this is a lesson certain moderators could do with learning, yet now that lesson is applied - in that a controversial view expressed by Joker is allowed to remain here - you complain again and expect some sort of moral judgement to be made on the basis of his view being controversial.
This is not an approach I will take seriously and I have nothing more to add.

In what way does it seem like his example was insinuating you?

Bringing up Hitler when he knows I am German Irish I find it insulting when anyone brings up Hitler period pleas follow some one else around for now

I am partially German, I do not see how it is insulting at all when people bring up Hitler. I thought Tequila had a valid example of something that was deplorable.

By the way I haven't even gone through your post history. I post in PPR fairly regularly

Because Hitler is a stain on German History that's why.

And yet here you are, romanticising something which is a stain on Irish history.
That's quite an interesting contrast, don't you think?

I don't veiw it as a stain on Irish History. But what hitler did was geneocide what the IRA did was bombing stores and killing inncoent people but not geneocide.

Nevertheless, Tequila made a completely valid point in that you're trying to defend the indefensible.
