Remotely controversial?

[TheExcession]

With reference to the post made by James in the Brussels Airport Bombing thread.

Will a Haymarket representative please clarify, elaborate and explain Haymarket's position on this.

Was "remotely controversial" just a poor choice of words?

Thanks.

I'm going to guess that it's the fact that a thread on a terrorist even has turn into the usual suspects each trying to out-do the other on the anti-islam rhetoric.

Hardly surprising that a) it happened (again) and b) someone's reported it.

It probably means watch out, the police may be knocking on your door under the hatred laws

I have to say that "remotely controversial" will mean very different things to different people.

I haven't a clue what it means.

If I said "I'd like Labour to win the next general election", then some people would find it fairly controversial.

Equally, if I said that I would like the Conservatives to win the next GE, other people would find it controversial.

I think that the Audi RS6 is better than the AMG 6.3.

That statement is controversial.

What are we allowed to talk about?

James, I am utterly confused, and I would suggest that you are too.



How on Earth do you expect a forum to exist if nothing "controversial" is allowed?

You haven't thought this through.
