Question graysblue ban

[GBJ]

As many of you know, my dad was banned from this forum about a month ago. whether the reasons for this banning were justified or unjust, there has still been no response or indication how long this ban will last. so basically we just wanted to know what is going on? any mods care to offer a reply?

When all the owners have consulted each other a decision will be made. This is likely in the next few days.

Though Graysblue had unpopular views, it seemed to me that he became a bit of a target for some on here with anything he said being dissected to try and find something to object to, and a lot of provocation coming his way. Banning him may have been justified at the time, but a life-ban seems harsh. Frankly there are many on here who have been far worse than him at times.

True, but he could what others do & come here under a different name....

Maybe, but he could also keep to the rules:-

The landlord says: "All are welcome, but not everything will be suitable for youngsters. Please, no racist or potentially libelous posts, no pornography and no overly sexual explicit material"

That's a bit out of order.

What is Racism?

Racism is treating someone differently or unfairly simply because they belong to a different race or culture.

Did Graysblue treat any poster here differently or unfairly simply because they belong to a different race or culture?

Secondly, was there ever any mention that he treated anybody else differently or unfairly simply because they belong to a different race or culture?

If not, I suggest you've been a bit hasty in using a favoured word on this site.

I seem to remember that he made an observation about a group which was his opinion - I doubt it was swayed by their colour. It is the same as me saying that drivers in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire are ****. Yes, that has been my experience whenever I've driven there and have nearly had two crashes in about as many visits - you surely wouldn't be claiming discrimination then?

I hold my hands up and would call him a racist if he then commented that someone was a dirty ****** or another insult along those lines - but I didn't see anything like that.

Maybe you imagined it?

Though his opinions were unpopular on here, I disagree that he was racist - this is what I meant when I said that it seemed that every post he made was dissected. A group on here with differing opinions seemed to take it upon themselves to hound him because of some of his views. And no, I am not racist - I have West Indian, mixed race, Indian and Nigerian relatives in my immediate family.

And to back up your point just check out the funeral songs thread. One of the worst offenders for what you are saying now feels the urge to try and wind up his son.

It cracks me up when they feel they have to say something like the bit in bold incase they get accused of being racist themselves!

Guess what, i'm not racist but i don't actually have any black friends! My stepdad is from Egypt and i work with alot of Indians though who i get on with so nobody can point the finger at me either :p

The one who can't look after his own property.

One of the main reasons GB senior has not been allowed back is that he has tried to join with several different "Sock Puppets" and also uses his Son's name to post on here..as was pointed out a few weeks ago by his son himself...None of these things help his case to return.

The owners may seem "Green" at times, but we are not stupid.

As Ken has stated,it will be discussed this forthcoming week.

Really? Do you really need me to rake up old posts and show you the racist tripe he has come out with previously? Frankly I can't be bothered to do so a third time.

As it is, he's on my ignore list so I don't actually care one way or the other...

I wouldn't mind seeing them, after all, if I was going to dig out another poster on here and make claims, I would make sure I have evidence.

Of course - if you prove to me that he was racist on here then I will apologise.

Who cares if he is racist - each to their own

In that case, look up my old posts on the subject. I really can't be bothered to do so again. I'm sure you read them first time around, or maybe second. If not, just do a search, they'll appear.

 

[Hotman]

hold on a minute fella - you are the one who has dug him out here, if you stand by what you say, prove it!!

Obviously, if I search your posts and don't find it, you'll tell me to keep looking...

But something tells me that it's more a case of your perception of him than his actual postings.

Ahh, we're on the prove it bit are we? You want evidence? As I recall that was something Graysblue always failed to provide.

Anyway, try this:-

Post 214

I can't find the other one. I'm also off to bed now, i've been ill and can't be bothered anymore.

After some of the witch-hunts that have taken place, it doesn't do any harm to get your point in first.
