OK own up

[Scuffers]

At risk of yet more unwarranted moderation, who was it?

Hi Scuffers,

You have been banned from News, Politics & Economics for 7 days for the following reason: "Raving poofters" is not a "perfectly valid insult". Bear in mind no one has backed you up on this.

and FWIW, if you're going to make statements like this, being accurate is quite important don't you think?

Spot on. These so called 'rappers' use the N word all the time in their songs. I shout it once at my son's football match and get asked to leave.

It's political correctness gone mad rolleyes

How about actually communicating?

Smn was being sarcastic.

Yes, they would. That still doesn't make referring to someone as a "raving poofter" is OK.

Yes, they would. That still doesn't make referring to someone as a "raving plotter" is OK.

So, show me the law/statute/etc that says its banned then?

Or are you judge dread like?

My point is that most rational normal people would actually engage in dialogue if they have a problem, you on the other hand seem to just jump in with your big stick first, and anonymously at that.

See rule of posting number 1.

We tend to try to let the forums self-moderate but you really weren't (aren't...) getting it, hence the small banhammer. If you really think you've been hard done by then feel free to email Eybic (Nathan - the link is in the RoP), I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear from you.

Surely you can't think it's acceptable to describe someone as a "raving poofter"?

That's the reason you've been banned from the forum as stated in the email you got, your post was reported by a few people as being offensive and appropriate action was taken.

As if by magic.
