Straw poll

It’s maybe the first time I’ve seen a post here that goes beyond heated exchange of opinions, exaggeration, emphasis, into full-on, mask off hatred. I’m pretty sure the post is actually criminal too.

Was thinking the same. All manner of unpalatable stuff written on the various iterations of the Board over the years but can't remember seeing a post and saying "oh f*ck!" out loud before.

Apparently it’s a two week ban.
Incidentally that’s what I got by LSN for calling LSN a c***

Starting another thread about Israel or Gaza should be minimum 2 weeks ban

Hands up - only glanced at COYOS post between working on something here in the office and thought I'd just chuck a 2 week ban to try and put an quick lid on it. Logged back in a few mins later and clearly I've f*cked up - my bad.

Obvs, the Taylor Swift line was tongue in cheek but again apologies for any offence. Wasn't the intention.

Saying "If I could snap my fingers" wishing for something to happen is criminal as opposed to him saying Israel should be destroyed, wiped off the face of the earth would open a huge can of worms between thoughts & actions legally surely?
How many times has the "we should just drop a nuke on them" been tried in a court I wonder?

It was a Stupidly offensive post he made undoubtedly but is it a criminal offence?

Well LSN considered my “card waving” (the reason given on the ban page) as warranting a week off. Apparently according to him, calling out gross antisemitism is just a notch below the antisemitism.

Cess pit is f***ing right.

Has the two week ban been revised?

For crying out loud Amin get rid of this crazy, permanently, and if this loony tries to get back in, well, you have his details. He is extremely offensive. It makes me ashamed that this person follows the same club l do.

Yes. And the post in question removed.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ve dealt with a difficult situation thoughtfully and carefully. It’s not an easy one.
