Thread Temporarily Removed.......

[tikay]

The "Met Murdering Scum" thread has been removed for now. It may be reinstated in the morning. Debate on the issue is fine, the abuse is not.

One Member has been Coolered overnight, a decision will be taken tomorrow, when more Mods are about, on what happens next.

Some folks just don't understand how to debate matters such as this in a mature way. There are other, far more suitable Forums, for those who don't know how to conduct a debate in a civil manner

The debate is fine, it's an interesting case, but debate does not equal that sort of one-sided & abusive tosh that was being Posted by the OP.

Sometimes we can all be OTT about things that have effected us personally, I think that this might be the case with the OP.

I hope im wrong.

Under discussion.

Looking like OP was maybe drunk. Normally a very good-natured and funny contributor to the site.
Expressing his anger at the Met by calling them 'murdering scum' probably not the best tack, but then again neither was calling him a 't***', unprovoked, and not expecting retaliation.
Shame really cos the topic could have provided a nice discussion.

I called him a ***t and its a word I would use direct to Gary's face and he also knows this.

As for unprovoked?  I think the provocation was in Gary's initial post and subsequently his whole attitude to life in this country and these are discussions we have had offline in most cases.

I did do something constructive today though.

He might have very vehement views on certain things and express them rigidly at times like he did on here but I just don't think he's a t**t. The guy's heart is in the right place, and I know he really loves blondepoker, look at his blog.
