How much should these forums be Politically Correct?

[Deathbloke]

After being censored for making a witicism concerning Israel I was censored!

Shock! Horror! So let us have a poll to see if we really want the nanny state intruding on these Forums...

If you made a "witicism" regarding Israel then you should be censored. This is a forum for a game and any form of rl politics has no place here. Take your example one step further ( and stop being so narrow minded ), what would your reaction be if someone made a "whitty" comment about 9/11 or the nazis?

Maybe engage brain before you post eh?

 

[Flimgoblin]

the post of yours that sparked this particular thread was racist (as your PM to me confirmed) - read the CoC - racism is most definitely not allowed.

'Posts that are generally harassing, offensive, abusive – especially those aimed at sexual orientation, gender, race, colour, religious views, national origin or disability – will not be tolerated.'

Well Flimgoblin you let people call my greedy and a wanker - both offensive. So you have let other people break the CoC first, and you have not censured them.

The United Nations called Zionism racism. I was merely agreeing with them. For you to call that racist, betrays your own racism. Is concern for Palestinians racism?

Since the CoC is politically correct, and PC is a form of political censorship, then these forums are already political.

I can't say what my reaction would be to a 9/11 or nazi quote, but I strongly suspect that it would depend on that quote, and I would not expect it to be deleted.

Deathbloke,

Flim has explained to you, how thick do you really need to be not to understand?

If I were you I would stfu before you make a really big tit of yourself.

 

[Deathbloke]

Elbeek you have broken the CoC by using offensive language to me.

How typical of the PC to shout STFU when somone questions censorship. Where have I heard that before? Brings back memories of student union meetings.

 

[elbeek]

Well then I guess this won't hurt. Shut the fuck up you wanker.

 

[Deathbloke]

Again you have broken the CoC, and here you are telling people to obey it terms contrary to what is permitted.

Elbeek, what race are you?

LOL you really are pathetic aren't you.

 

[Fellavader]

[Deathbloke]

You have asked be to shut up for asking people their opinions on freedom of expression. That is pathetic.

 

[scorge]

Flim, dont lock this thread i like the popcorn, and work is dull today

 

[elbeek]

Let me guess. You are some left wing looney? Oh well it keeps me entertained.

Left wing, Right wing? All PC these days. Login to Daoc...PC RoC. Login to freddys...PC RoC...Login to daoc.catacombs.com....PC RoC.

I am sick and tired being told what is permissible.

most useless thread EVeR -

 

[Flimgoblin]

deathbloke if you want to go post some incitement to racism on the web (which is different from posting a balanced and fair discussion on a political topic - though both are disallowed here) go do it somewhere else - though you'll probably want to do it offshore since in britain it's a crime I believe.

However it is not welcome on FH and nor is bringing it into a discussion totally unrelated.

Plus, accusing people of being mass murderers because THEY DISAGREE WITH YOU ON A POST is really quite incredibly sad.

As is using the collective term for a country or a group of people as an insult. (not only sad but racist)

If you can't see the difference between calling someone a wanker and (for example) a nazi (as I'm sure this one will no doubt crop up the moment I lock a post - yes locking a post is the same as gassing people dontchaknow) you really really need some help.

You closed a thread asking people's opionion on PC, that is really telling. I can't believe how fascist that is. Totalitarian. Intolerant.

'...deathbloke if you want to go post some incitement to racism on the web'

Anyone here see me incite racial hatred? Anyone here see racism? This is libel. The issue is not Israel, but the freedom to speak, as as moderator you have prohibited the latter. That is the kind of thing the Nazis did.

Zionism is a collective term for Jewish Nationaists, and the United Nations have passed an edict classifying it as racist. Perhaps you ought to take your threats of litigation to the UN, and see what they make of it.

but surely its only racist if someone takes offence, untill then its harmless, but thats only my opinion

 

[Borgio Finstermoor]

Flim you meanie!! I was enjoying that, I move that you have to hit yourself over the head with your Hammer of Banzor for spoiling my extremely boring day at work!

 

[Fellavader]

It's still against the CoC, and even after being warned several times he chose to press on... why does noone ever heed my warnings?
