Why was my question on this news story removed?

My original report was based on a Guardian news story.

[ummmm]

I was wondering that. I was looking for it this morning.

[jackthehat]

Possibly for the same reasons this replacement one will be ? :o)

[ummmm]

Why Jack. It is a news story after all. Or did the locals have a scrap??

[starone]

I always thought it worked both ways, but obviously not. If it had been the other way around I wonder what the sentence would have been?

has Aog ever put a thread on here that has nothing to do with racism?
cos i cant remember one at all!

[jackthehat]

I don't think so.
I think the language 'may' have been a little too colourful (pun ?) and I can't see this thread going in any other but the same direction.........

In any case, we all know just how successful "Why was my thread removed ?" posts are received by the Editorial Team. ;o)

[ummmm]

Yes he has...

The subject is obviously of interest to him though.

[anotheoldgit]

I will not get involved this time around, perhaps it is because I have been given a 'Bad Name' by some and it has stuck, regardless of the fact that some accusations are completely untrue.

This one by bernie6969 is typical,

/// has Aog ever put a thread on here that has nothing to do with racism?

Since it would appear that bernie seems to suffer from having a short memory, I post the headlines from some recent non racist questions, and before anyone wants to get a little nit picking, I know one is a North -South issue and another a Scottish v England issue.

Good idea or not?

Why should scum like this be respected?

You've got to admire them, financially..

Time now to close down Wikileaks

"But baby it's cold outside".

Should newspapers charge fo on-line content?

Why are the English Students fees the highest?

Should women fight on the front line?

[jackthehat]

I agree.
It's unfair to paint you as a mere racist when you have so many other strings to your bow...........

[Kakurol]

"I post the headlines from some recent non racist questions..."

at last, admitting that the rest are racist

[NazNomad]

Well, obviously you're not 'just' a racist, AOG, but it does rank high on your agenda, would you not agree?

[anotheoldgit]

Since we live in a multi racist society, would it not also be racist to only post on news items that involve only whites?

I am treading on glass here, and I have to be careful what I say, in case this question gets withdrawn again, hence my reason for not referring to the original story.

But call me what you like, I know that the ED will not ban me for being a racist, because I am not, only to those that want to stifle sensitive issues such as this, my question was obviously reported by someone who wishes me censored.

All the more reason for me to carry on, and tell it as it is.

Interesting to note however that the issue of the teachers remarks were not discussed, I thought that what AnswerBanks purpose was, perhaps it would be better for an 'Anti AOG' topic section to be formed, it would then stop the clutter of such posts on the 'News' topic section.

Thanks for pointing that out karenmac6

Yes the same slip-up that has got some 'wetting their knickers', but then it doesn't take much.

The word I meant was 'RACIAL'
