Racist crap on these boards
Comments

Cheerio Topov, sorry I mean, Dithering Dad. All the best.
Fatpig - do you have some evidence that Topov and DD are one and the same, please?
To me it just doesn't make any sense at all. I would be extremely disappointed to hear if they were the same - DD is articulate and posts with logic and intelligence - Topov: not so much.

5. 45% of the Black respondents felt that there was too much immigration into Britain.
6. 76% of people agree that Britain is overcrowded.

Just report the racists to abuse and then add them to your ignore list. I have noticed more racist posts lately too, though. However, some people think that mentioning colour/ethnic background is being racist, eg "I saw an Asian lady...." isn't racist.0

I agree if it is the wrong direction, but who is saying you can fool those percentages of people? Most people access a large amount of individual life experiences when forming such opinions and are not easily led.Quote:

Have reported post 14 as not being in the spirit of this thread (and yet another anti-immigration post).

Not to worry, I'm sure you'll continue to post using your other aliases.Dithering_Dad wrote: »That's me, I'm done. It's bad enough when we can't move in here for anti-immigration threads and hate threads, but when you try and make a stand against it and you're set upon by the BNP supporters and even a board guide (who I feel also harbours BNP sympathies and I know dislikes BTLers), then it's time to go.
I will give you one last prediction, and it's not to do with house prices or the economy - it's about this board. Unless martin and the team take the racist overtones that pervade this board seriously, then it will continue to grow until it results in this board being deleted. With misskool as a BG you don;t stand a chance.
Cheerio, and enjoy the 'I hate foreigners' crap from the likes of dervish and ultra10, etc.0 -
It would be a shame to lose you, DD - don't be so sensitive!
Although I disagree with most of these so called racist rants I don't agree that they should be blocked/banned. There may be abhorrent posts that I have missed, but for the most part these are simply naive or small-minded ramblings that (as has been mentioned above) are easily quashed by the tolerant majority.Hello.0
