Ted,
Understand your reasoning but found it quite ironic that it was removed due to the excessive coverage that the muslims were getting at the moment. It was the opposite side of the coin (that nobody stands up to them) that the flash cartoon was depicting and given the folks I've spoken to over the last couple of weeks seems to be the general concensus of the UK population.
Ah well Pistonheads loss.
I'm sure it will appear in your inbox shortly from someone else.

It's not about excessive coverage for me but tarring people with the same brush. We have people of all creeds using PH and I don't like them being marginalised by Daily Mail type propoganda.
I personally think we're being heavily manipulated by the media. I'd rather not let this little corner of the internet fall prey to any nonsense from either side. It has no place on a car site.

But the majority of the other threads don't cause offence to people.
There's been an increasing number of threads seeking to criticise certain races or religions and it makes me cringe sometimes when I think of many of the PHers that I know may be reading them. Not extremists, but regular petrolheads like you and me but with varying backgrounds.
As I say, I think it's divisive and undermines some of the stronger aspects of our little online community.

crmcatee said:I lost one too. It wasn't controversial in any way. In fact I was only trying to help. Ho-hum, there you go! I can only apologize if I was misunderstood.
Posted a comical but true thread in the Pie and Piston but it's vanished.
No explaination on why ?
Has freedom of speech gone in this forum ?
