Seems to be taking a while. Obviously any accusations of racism/bigotry are defamatory. That obviously goes against forum rules.

Let me know when you and f1 have talked through this one.
You really are an insecure individual. For the record Chris and I aren't talking through anything.
Now going to your quote, Chris makes a statement and you want me to pull him up on it? I'll tell you what, you answer my question and then YOU ask him.

I think we are waiting for your answer about the anti English, are you any nearer coming up with anything or can we take it it was just more spouting?

PS Please RTM my posts and I mean that, I want the mods to deal with this. If they ban me then absolutely no worries! If not then ... well we will see what they say!

He and shaid said similar before me. I assume you read them and decided not to pull them up on it. Why?
I'm secure. This is an attempt to get me to break forum rules.

I think the biggest problem here is why you are choosing to pick on me?.

I could answer that but it would definitely break the forum rules.

Anyway I see you are not so happy when the boot is on the other foot. It's not as easy as being the aggressor is it?

I have. To say someone is a borderline bigot is defamatory and breaks forum rules.
That is why I will not be answering Maz's question.
I'm just interested as to why he didn't pull you and shaid up on the same.

I thought that earlier, it really doesn't need to be discussed on here. We should have an SIOC section instead.

So you are prepared to state there is anti-English sentiment on the forum, but not who from? That's big of you

Well we shall see what the mods make of your RTM. Time for SN to decide which way it wants to go I think?

Who else were you referring to when you said they were borderline bigots?.

This is NSR and these religious threads are some of the most amusing on here.
Take post 74. That's comical, the hypocrisy is absolute quality.

In what way is the post remotely hypocritical. I am not a racist!

Let's get one thing clear, I'm not here to appease your sensibilities. Thus wether I pick up on what you say or Shaid or Chris says is irrelevant. I'm the arbiter of which thread or comment I respond to not you.
Similarly you choose what to say and what comment to make. It's your prerogative. I don't single out why you say or ask what you do and if I did it's your right to give me a rebuttal. As I've just done.

It's relevant. 3 people said similar things, you're questioning one. Why?
What is the difference between me and them?

Or is it just a personal attack?

Do you feel victimised?
All I've done is ask you. I've not used profanity, I've not been offensive. All I did was ask you to name those people who were anti English. Instead of answering the question you've inferred that I'm conducting a witch hunt and asked why am I not pulling other people up over their comments.
I've done my best to answer your accusations. It's getting wearisome now, even James is nodding off!

I do feel victimised. You are singling me out, not sure why? I keep asking why and haven't really had a clear response as to why you have chosen to be so demanding of me and not other members.
Perhaps in future you should treat everyone the same. Equality is important in today's society.

It seems to me that we still get a number of posters who love nothing more than to post fairly harsh anti-Muslim rhetoric and who, in some cases, are very guilty of tarring all Muslims with the extremist brush.

When Shaid or Maz or banny (not these days as he was driven out) or whoever try and add some balance they are metaphorically prodded with various 'sticks' until they get fed up and make a less than balanced retort whereupon the perpetrators state how said retort justifies their, frankly bigoted, opinions.

To go back to banny for a minute I have to say I find it very odd that the moderators of this board seem quite happy to see a member driven out of the community whose knowledge of and activity within the Subaru enthusiast scene is huge yet let certain other posters remain on the board who have no other agenda than to stir up racism, homophobia and misogyny and use the forum as a conduit to spout their nonsense and take pleasure in seeing people like banny leave for good!

If all that seems a bit strong then tough! It's about time someone told it like it is. There is a growing culture of bullying on this forum... in NSR it is about the issues I mention above whereas on General it tends to be more towards people that don't conform to the current 'breed' of Subaru enthusiast such as the crap that powerwrx gets from trinity's little clique for just trying to find the right car.

I have seriously questioned in recent weeks why I come back here as RTMs are basically ignored and frankly I find the treatment of some members of the board as utterly distasteful. There are two reasons I stay, one is that there are some posters on here who I very much enjoy interacting with and secondly I am not going to give the ****s the pleasure of driving me away too!
You need to critique your own behaviour before getting on your high horse.

No wonder people fire up when they are getting attacked like this, and well done Shaid for fighting your corner, no matter how small it gets.
You realise it was shaid himself who started the thread to get a reaction.

Why does every Muslim thread resort to petty arguments ?

I asked a simple question but you decided to turn it in to the Kwik Show. As I stated earlier I'm not here to pander to anyone's sensibilities.
I'll ask who I want what I want. Comprende?

But when you ask questions in an aggressive manor someone should pander to you?
Someone's been watching a little too much big brother I think.
