Is there a right to reply to offensive comments.....

or is free speech reserved for those making borderline racist and anti-Islamic comments?

2 posts removed one from Ali Dezai thread in response to lie about Muslims getting brownie points for lying to infidels. Another from thread about journalist arrested through interpol.

Would you be good enough to explain why these posts were in breach, so that I don't repeat the same mistake. After all us "immigrants" have to learn how to integrate, you might as well be the ones to teach me.

I don't of course know the reason that the posts were removed ( there are forum rules so a read of them might help as I don't know what the post said) but I do know that if you quote someone's post and that post is removed due to "reports" yours can go too.
I've lost a few about Gypsies that way.

If you find something really offensive then I think the best cause would be to report it and let the mods deal with it as it only ends up getting ugly.


Oh and sarcasm doesn't help............

Thanks for the prompt reply, but one of the posts had no quotes in it and the other had a quote that is in other posts still on the thread. I would appreciate a reply specifically about my 2 posts that have been deleted explaining why. Reason: how else am I going to learn how to stay the right side of offensive like an Englishman instead of overstepping the mark like the foreigner that I am. After all the only people who can instruct me in how to behave in English society are the English. (No sarcasm intended)

No sarcasm intended, but foreigners living in their own countries tend not to complain as much as they do when they land here. As for instruction from the English (in England), better get in there quick.

Still no reply regarding my two posts.
