Just one request... As a firm believer in democracy and therefore freedom of speech I accept that it is a necessary evil that Oakwell and his BNP friends are able to diseminate their nasty views. However, Oakwell please can you refrain from putting "FACT" at the end of every half-truth you have read in the right-wing media
'FREEDOM OF SPEECH' he's been banned, no doubt loads of the Politically Correct Hyper Sensitive Cyber Soldiers will be over the moon BAAAAA
Has he definitely been banned? Who banned him? and how the hell do you know, do you have a hotline or something? I assumed he wasn't on-line. I never wanted him banned, I asked him to stopping peddling BNP values as they'd become tired, not entirely sure that makes me a sheep, but I guess that's your call.
Re: Sheep Let me get this right: Following the policies of a political party makes you a free thinker. Following your own considered view of each party's individual policies makes you a sheep. Shurely shome mishtake?
He's got a 24 hour ban </p> For posting blatently racist remarks on this BBS. </p> If you didn't see it, trust me, there was plenty.</p>
I think, and I might be wrong that the site administrators are held responsible for some of the actions of the morons that post on here and if they're not seen to 'administer' the site responsibly, then they can get in trouble. Seems perfectly reasonable.
Perfectly reasonable Have they been to classes for that? I try to be as reasonable as I can, but I'm a long way from being perfect at it. Any tips on getting my reasonableness up to scratch?
I'm not entirely sure where the line was crossed as it has been deleted, but to be fair I'd take Harrow Tyke's word over oakwell's Would you risk it, all for the sake of oakwell's freedom of speech? I know I wouldn't. He can create his own BNP site and point people to it can't he?
Last year we were threatened with legal proceedings We won't be put in that position again due to innapropriate posting.</p> Oakwell has been informed and has accepted the decision.</p> End of.</p>
I am the most unreasonable of all site admin I think I need extra training but Gally's budget doesn't stretch that far.</p> He's always too busy spending his dosh in the Exec suites at Oakwell.</p> The BBS is a proper Corporate fat cat enterprise.</p>
I never mentioned political parties Everyone has the right to their opinion including oakwell, but some of the posters on here post in herds, if one agrees they all do and visa versa. Oakwell knows i don't agree with a lot of what he writes. There's a few on here that i don't agree with and guess what, i don't read or reply to their posts, i don't like reading the tabloids so guess what, i don' buy em. What i don't do is read them all and send letters to the editor. If nobody would have replied to his posts nobody would have even remembered him. One plus point though, Dreamboy3000 hasn't replied to every single bloody thread for a couple of days.
