Strawman: You're a self-confessed Anglophobe, Manic

That entire post explains why I am not an anglophobe at all. I've changed my position since then, too. Now I only want England to lose in the Rugby because of the upper-middle class tossers who have always made up the bulk of English squads.

[Strawman:The racist banter I've both witnessed & created at this site has been lightweight to say the least - I also reckon it's always played an integral part of what is TW in one way or another.

Bollocks. If this is the case, then TW has reall gone to shit.

MonkeyboyBy exposing them for the narrow-minded voices that they are, I feel that I am accomplishing something: making people laugh, exposing other narrow-minded voices, whatever.

But the trade off for exposing the fact that a couple of idiots on a message board are a bit racist is a message board that contains racist material that a lot of people are going to find offensive. Plus it's just not that funny, you're wasting yourself on it.

Bozo me if you don't like it

The whole point is that it's not about whether or not I like it. Are we allowing and possibly encouraging the posting of racist material on the board that will potentially be offensive to other users? I think that's what's happening.

I'm curious as to what the moderators think about the whole thing.
