As I said, I didn't remove it because the problem was not the posting of the link (IMO - others may disagree) but the lack of explanation of exactly what it was. I put in the description.

Maybe I shouldn't have made the prick comment but just shows how angry I was with you - I don't rile easily.

Angry why? We were all angered by the content but what did the OP do wrong?

Plenty of people (and I think we all HATED the content of the video) have defended op's posting of it. I certainly don't think he was trying to anger people.

You calling him a prick is so far out of line. It's something we expect of Ironside

man get over it i rarely post on the forum anymore have never called anyone a name on a public forum yet you still have digs at me when i havent gotten a problem with anyone currently on the forum
if your trying to get me the sack try freaking harder as i dont really care if i get the boot or not
but if you think your constant snipes at my role as an admin will get me too quit then tough luck as my respect for tikay will always outweigh your hatred of me

And to think I was on the verge of giving you one of your stars back.

dont think you can you need an admin to do that and currently i cant be bothered even if the mods asked me too nicely i might just start a revolt

I thought I gave a warning of how upsetting the vid was and not to watch if easily upset able, it was all in bold and capitals so it stood out.

I cant remember what mod called me a prick but i thought it was a bit harsh.

I haven't really been following all of this but I think it is fair to say that what Doogan writes here is true insofar as that I read the post and decided not to watch it on the basis of what he had wrote so there clearly was a warning and, given i made that decision on the basis of the warning not to watch, it was clearly sufficient.

Wish I hadn't seen it.......

The story is enough.....

Think I join the prick camp for watching it...

This is the worst thing I've seen in a long time....poor girl.....


I may not have watched if I had seen this thread first...very upsetting and almost impossible to understand.......first thing people here would do is run to her for help

Disgusting......

I'm glad I missed the OOP and I'm glad the vid link has been removed from this discussion. I have no need to sit behind a computer watching a little girl being run over twice.. then watching 18 people pass by as she lays bleeding and lifeless on the ground. Reading the story was bad enough...

It always astounds me how many countries do NOT have a standard unified Samaritan law in place! This includes the UK... Implementing a universal good Samaritan law under the human rights umbrella can only be a good thing!!

I wonder if the response of passerbys would had been different if this had been a Chinese boy rather than a Chinese girl? In such an oppressive society it's difficult for us in the lol-freeworld to comprehend what seems to be total and complete coldheartedness...

Sadly, people get less involved than you think, and the UK media is full of stories about good Samaritans who stepped into something only to end up being stabbed, beaten, shot or having a stiletto through their skull...

It's easy to take the moral high, it seems less so to help a fellow human.

hatred is a strong word. I don't hate you. I don't even dislike you. By all accounts you're a top bloke. You're just a terrible mod.

It's not personal.

In China boys are more important than girls.

In China boys are more important than girls.

Don't want to sidetrack the debate but that is a very simplistic view of a very complicated topic which has been exacerbated by the one child policy and whilst there have been a lot of cases of female infanticide these are almost always perpetrated by members of the family and doesn't really explain why 18 people would walk past am injured toddler in the street.  In fact the suggestion that this has anything to do with the Chinese as a race or nation is pretty much totally unfounded.  Off the top of my head I can think of at least another three of four similar cases to this which have all occured in this country or the States.  It is a common enough situation to have a name in psychology (Bystander effect or Genovese syndrome).

I'm sorry but come on mods/admin, respect for you has gone wayyyyyyy down in this thread. Theres a "proper" way things should be done and please don't give me the "voluntary" card because its the same in any forum and any mod I have ever hired or been in the process of hiring  would never ever speak like this.
