    There is absolutely no need to post in huge red letters. It adds nothing to the post and just makes the poster look a complete prat.
    You can solve that by adding them to your ignore list. :)

    Why play the race card?

    What does that mean, why have i played the race card?

    I have asked the poster a question because the poster suggested all you need to do is cooperate with the police and you would be on your way!! I dont have to ask if you have experienced racism by the police, as your response says it all

    Maybe it wasn't racism, but their response to someone who has a chip on their shoulder with all police?

    He's not posting like a newbie. IMO he's posting like the reincarnation of somebody who's been PPRd for abuse?

    I agree. I believe he/she is simply poking the forum with a stick in order to provoke a response, so that he/she can accuse the responder(s) of whatever imagined insult passes through his/her fevered brain.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.
