I agree with you, I also remember agreeing with Oscar when he posted the exact same thing last year. Small world.

Cheers Aldo. Just get annoyed with old fashioned attitudes

Strange word faggots.


The lads not the most popular on here, that's for sure.
Don't agree with the over reaction from the pro poof brigade though.

Jaysus, c'mon tae fuuckk people, we're surely a bit above this?

Well maybe the precious wee laddie would like to post a daily list of words he finds acceptable.
It'll be an ever diminishing list though.

Still, as long as it stops him bursting into tears.

dd min, as one of the same vintage as you I'd advise you back down gracefully.

"Pro-poof". "Soulless faggots".
D'you really think that's OK?

He has his point of view.

That's fair enough.

He tries to impose his point of view through censorship.

That's nae fair enough.


I will now withdraw from the argument as advised.

Hey all I did was point out to Stan and yourself that there are certain words and phrases that people who actually live in the 21st century don't find appropriate. If you want to talk or write like someone at a Jim Davidson concert in the 80's then you bash on.

....so not sure if I should respond if you are not - HOWEVER for the benefit of stan I will. There is a difference in censoring a view (as much as we'd maybe like to) and asking people to (self) censor phrases that stray into that which is legally (nowadays) hate speech / crime and whilst i doubt anyone is petty enough to go running to the police - it shouldn't even be something that could happen as many other wittier put downs are surely available!

Putting my old bore hat on, I remember the old AFC discussion mailing list (circa '93 when I joined) was pretty well mannered and things all went a bit pear shaped when it was replaced by various web forums... ho hum

overstepped the line and rightly rebuked. Personally, I'm not up nor down with words on the internet, but if posters are getting pulled up on "hate speech" whether fellow fan or an opponent there needs to be a consistency with folks comments.

...that's easy - just avoid anything insulting based on race, religion (although police Scotland would never have the manpower for that one - why certain other boards aren't shutdown is another discussion), ****ual preference* or disability to avoid hassle... not too hard surely!

Anything else is pretty much free game (and there's tonnes left!) like various suggestions of alcoholism ...
