Tumbleweed Posted March 15, 2012 Share Go and have a dop brother.You are losing the plot. The plot was lost when support was offered for the complaint of the OP, a self-confessed bigot. That's double standards right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranswurm Posted March 15, 2012 Share Those of you criticising the mods' collective decisions, answer me this: Have you ever made a derogatory remark on the hub? Have you ever reported a remark that you know to be derogatory, but doesn't offend your own political or religious belifs, to the mods? If yes, then I respect you. If not, your tacit approval speaks volumes. HEman, you made mention of Christians and Afrikaaners. Comments about black, Indian, and coloured people are much more prevalent on the hub; so are snide remarks about those of a Jewish or Muslim persuasion. Yet, it seems, you believe there should be special protection appiled to the groups you mention. The moderation team is a small one, and those of you complaining about double standards would be surprised about the make-up in terms of belief and poiltical persuasion of the moderators. I too believe that we have, for the most part, be able to set these aside to moderate in terms of the rules of the forum. I, for one, take umbrage at the suggestion that we are biased towards any grouping of people - political, cultural, social, religious or otherwise. My feeling on this is, many members can't divorce their own personal feelings when it comes to discussing issues here, and thus feel aggrieved when things don't go their way. It's macrocosm and microcosm. Actually, it's more akin to "I'm taking my ball home". In "real life" you will surround yourself with people of similar leanings. Here, you find you are faced with people hold different views to yours and those of your friends and colleagues. With regards the OP's complaint, it has no merit. A read of his contributions here - under his various monikers and incarnations - bears this out. If you believe the moderators have double standards, you should ask if it's possible you have them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe the moderators have double standards, you should ask if it's possible you have them too.You single me out in the wordy response. I WAS not the one who made any nasty comments regarding anybody. I merely wanted to know whether all groups / interests will be treated in the same manner. Please do not try to blame-shift things onto me, or play the media game where try and do a trial by media and association. I am not a moderator who should carry the interests of minorities / majorities / deviants / cyclists/non-cyclist / political / religious / groups . I WILL make comment/objections where it affects me and mine, and I EXPECT others to make comment/objection where things affect them/theirs. I was not appointed as "my brothers keeper" (He is in a far-away country in any case), so I expect of ALL my brothers to look out for themselves, and fight for theirs. Looking forward to a lot more locked / deleted threads and edited posts to remove flame-bait. Unfortunately this place has become a bit like ancient Europe - overrun by barbarians :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handling of thread above has been done VERY ham fistedly Read your post again. You single out Muslims. I think this is self-explanatory. Barbarians? Of a certain persuasion? Yes. Thanks. You have proved my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
