Racist crap on these boards
Comments
-
Thread moved to site feedback board
As a final parry, I have for most of my life been subject to racism due to my ethnicity so it is quite laughable that by choosing to allow free speech, I have now been accused of being a white BNP supporter (I am not a white male). I have an interest in house prices and I have no loathing for BTL, in fact, I see it as a good business preposition if managed correctly but is very emotive as it involves people's homes.
Welcome to the Mindset of the Leftoid !!... Disagree with them, i.e Object to the unrestrained Immigration Policy of there Beloved Labour Party or..like you...argue that everyone is entitled to an opinion & you AUTOMATICALLY become a "Racist",.
A Lot of this supposed "Racism" has been people of DD's Ilk Highjacking threads & accusing all & sundry of being "Racists" at the drop of a hat,...Now they are not getting there own way all the time & some posters are refusing to be Bullied anymore, he cry's like a big Baby & posts a Melodramatic resignation.. If you dont want to post anymore DD then just go !!!0 -

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.
You are entitled to vote with your feet, of course.
Yet it still smacks a bit of being an ultimatum... :rolleyes:
Anyway the forums will be a bit more peaceful with less bullying now that you a re going.0 -

Millions of our men died fighting this kind of evil, shame a little twerp like dervish is ruining what is normally a half decent forum.
I don't like dervish's comments, but they have a right to make them.
If you exclude everyone with an opinion different to yours the boards would soon become boring.
The way you use the phrase 'our men' is the same way dervish et al describe 'our country'. I don't think you are any better than them.0 -

Name-calling and personal abuse.
Why am I being singled out for blame also?
Also I have never and will never vote for the BNP, nor do I advocate forced repatriation of non-white people.
I have no problem with anyone's colour whatsoever - I have never talked about skin colour but immigration as a whole. In fact you will fnd that most of my objections are about Eastern Europeans who becuase of EU law can now just waltz in with little checking going on. That objection to a governmental policy is NOT racism.0 -

How BNP !!!!!!!s target newspaper comments
http://enemiesofreason.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-bnp-!!!!!!!s-target-newspaper.html :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0 -
Can't believe I'm agreeing with Dervish and Smoker99
You don't stop extremism by suppressing it, you stop it by engaging in the argument and pointing out how ridiculous the basic premises are. That's what was happening on the Debate HP board, and frankly the BNP were losing the argument.
I think the remarks on Misskool as BNP supporter are unfair and uninformed, given that she's an immigrant and not of the white persuasion. Anyway it's not in the BG description that they act as referees between warring factions, they can move or lock threads if they go too far, for everything else there is the "report abuse" button.
I think Misskool probably made the fatal mistake of disagreeing with DD. The toys are on the nursery floor if anyone fancies picking them up for him.0 -
This subject was brought up a couple of months ago - it should have been nipped in the bud there and then.0

Each and every one of us are guests on such an amazing site. We are all here to guide and coach one another on the topic of saving money, mainly.
Colour and ethnicity should not feature in any way. Everybody should be given the chance to be heard. Equally, everybody is allowed to have their say. Now, if what they say is discriminatory in any way, then this needs to be reported, and investigated accordingly.
Let's all be one happy MSE family, and let's all work in harmony with each other.
No one should judge anyone else. No one knows what experiences that others have had to endure. Let's all leave our biases at the door upon entering the MSE house. One love for our money saving community.Invented tradition: Couponology
