What has happened to Lord_Elpus thread?

'Would they have got this banned'?

I could not see anything wrong with the question.

If someone had posted an offensive post, why wasn't just the offending post removed?

Muslim extremists:

Christian extremist:

Also, if we're now walking on eggshells, why were the 'No gay area' stickers investigated and charges made?

"It was stated as an opinion, there any number of post on here that are opinion based."

This does not exempt them from the Terms & Conditions.

"same as saying why did phony blair go to war in iraq, well nobody but himself knows that for sure but people will happily say its for this or that reason, stands to reason proof cant be supplied"

Nonsense. Speculating in any valid kind of way on the example you have given would require us to infer proofs. So in the example of Iraq, we'd try to infer it from things like Blair's prior and subsequent actions, maybe some of the govt diaries that have been published, and various other things. None of which are perfect or satisfactory forms of proof, but one would not simply randomly speculate based on nothing more than a feeling or an opinion. That would be an utterly facile thing to do. I'm aghast that you seem quite happy with the idea of doing so.

"And I dont consider it as being personally attacked per se, this particular instance yes because its my post"

I said that you seem to think you're being persecuted or censored. If you don't think that, then you've done a remarkably good job of pretending to:

"In todays ridiculous PC state of affairs this person in my opinion would have in all likelihood been to scared of speaking out if it were muslims for fear of falling foul of the PC brigade"

"what a total joke this site is becoming.
ok for lefties to bandy about their usual insults left right and centre yet i ask a genuine question and it gets taken down. "

"So as long as the question is acceptable to the self righteous lefties thats ok then is it , or is the editor a leftie as well.? "

^ All seems to imply that a) you think there's a PC brigade seeking to silence people and b) you think that you are one of those people. As I said above, I find these claims unconvincing because the Ed is quite happy to let right-wing posts/anti-Ed posts up but the ones he does remove are usually either repeats or breaches of the ToC.

Well, that certainly showed me didn't it.

Lord Elpus, there's a big difference between a long post containing statements supported by reasoned arguments and evidence and one based on assumptions, perceptions and insults.

[FredPuli43]

Lord_Elpus. it's refreshing to learn that your belief, about the effect of Muslims in the instant case, is like any belief of any religion. Entirely unsupported by any evidence to prove it, it nonetheless provides great comfort to the believer. But woe betide anyone who questions the belief. It is deemed a self-evident truth not to be questioned. The believer will ardently assert that it is true, 'because it is', and regard the doubter as foolish for questioning what 'everyone knows'.

All rather arrogant me thinks.

[DTCwordfan]

LE's assumption that is.

WOWW.....I have just read all of these comments, on Saturday night people where complaining 'nothing to watch on telly' this was far better, what a debate!!

[Gromit]

Lord_Elpus was R1Geezer and then Kayless. R1 was banned for being abusive, and when it was established he had rejoined as Kayless, that user was banned. Lord_Elpus is also now banned.

Will he regenerate like Doctor Who and re-appear in a different guise?

Be vigilant.
