My apologies

Post by Mikero »

I posted an ironic thread about the futility of clubs borrowing money to spend on mediocre players, this was in reaction to the number of demands for 'more players now' ( you could imagine the stamping foot ). Very, very worryingly a lot of boarders took this seriously.

Again my apologies.

Be very cautious with attempted humour on this message board.

If your racist dog thread was an attempt at humour then I’d say the issue very much lies with your lack of comedic talent, rather than the sense of humour of boarders

Your showing the world you're not a very nice person, it seems you scower the board looking to be offended or pick an argument over nothing.

I misjudged how popular racially focused anecdotes are with some boarders (clearly yourself included).
Lesson learnt.

No problems fellow, personal I didn't see anything wrong with 49 anecdote but couldn't understand why the out cry on both sides,
never mind, onward's and upward's as they say, happy boarding.

In hindsight I probably shouldn't have posted on that thread. I'll be more diligent in future. I've also taken precautions such as adding Spen and Prestige Worldwide to me foes list. This means that I don't see their posts. I have no interest in conversing with a guy who came on a Leyton Orient message board days after Justin died just to start arguments with grieving fans. No interest in talking to his little sidekick either.

So, let me get this straight - the dog anecdote was not racist?

Why worry about other when they do not worry about you? As long as the opinions expressed are true to your beliefs then you have nothing to be sorry about.

No, not at all. How is asking for clarification ‘making trouble’?

I suppose Rosa Parks was ‘making trouble’ when she refused to relinquish her seat to a white passenger on that bus in Alabama in 1955.

Disoriented, it's just a story, no intended racism was meant, why are you looking to be offended, chill.
As for Rosa Parks, back in 1955 a lot of people thought her action was trouble making, old father time shows now that was not the case, peoples ways of thinking change as time passes, as will yours later in life

I am quite chilled. My way of thinking is unlikely to change. Racism is racism in any generation.

I believe he isn't making the connection where the so called "trouble makers" were actually racists. It's a pathetic way of excusing racism.
