2 bombs go off in America

[Aussie Rules]

OK.

 

I know you don't have any obligation to explain your decisions and you're probably busy, but I don't suppose you'd let me know, (either here or via PM) what was so offensive about my post that got it deleted? I presume it was Tone who complained?

 

I can tell you it was not Tone :)

[mr.hobblesworth]

Ok. Looks like a owe him an apology. Sorry Tone!

 

Now, can you tell me why a comment to the effect of...

 

""I wonder if the perpetrator of this terrible act turns out to be a Timothy McVeigh type, the people so gleefully eager to blame 'arabs' or 'muslims' will instead start making sweeping statements about white 'christians'."

 

was deemed so offensive or rule breaking, it was deleted?

[robf]

Can I just add a couple of points please:

 

1. None of us are perfect. So, if you think something was deleted when it shouldn't have been you can contact us and we will try and look into it. We can, after all make errors and/or misinterpret something.

2. We do have a rule that we are not obliged to explain every decision and I think that is fair - otherwise we could potentially have to explain, in depth our every decision. But in general, we are happy to answer comments or complaints.

3. However, and this is the important part, it is best that any dispute over a deleted post and/or ban is done in private. This is so the conversation doesn't clog up threads that are on other subjects and so that the admin can explain their decision in confidence.

 

So, by all means, if you feel this wasn't the right action you can contact us, we just ask that you do it away from the forum either by email ([email protected]) or by PM'ing the admin team.

How come people are allowed to post borderline (to give the benefit of the doubt) racist **** like

 

 

and

 

 

yet when I wonder if these posters would start slating white christians of they were the perpetrators, my comments get deleted? Absolutely ****ing pathetic, mods. ****ing jokers.

 

What is racist about suggesting that they are behind it again based on past incidents, if someone said I bet the IRA are behind it would that bre racist too ? Get a life

A good bombing is always a good excuse to vent racist frustrations.

You don't seem very tolerant of other peoples opinions, not everyone has to agree with you you know!

The remaining rat has ben apprehended....and is dead.

[Paul6754]

Initially reported the suspect on the run was found dead but revised to captured and in serious condition.

[Guppy 4 England]

Where's hobblesworth seems I was right, as an apparent racist bigot, I await your apology.

Has the backlash started yet?

 

I suspect the overwhelming majority will not see any need for any sort of "backlash" what so ever
