What I said, in summary, was that I doubted the OP of this particular thread is an 'educator'. Which others have said without their posts being deleted. The OP has implied I am - and by extentsion any other teacher who swears on a public forum - unfit to do my job which seems to be a much more 'attack-ish' statment than mine.
I doubt s/he is an educator as I would expect a teacher to know that nothing I said (on the petition thread and as quoted by this OP in her opening post) 'smacks of race or class discrimination.' Saying someone hold white, middle class values does not smack of any kind of 'discrimination'. Discrimination is an act and unless I then advocate locking all white middle class people up (which I suspect would therefore include myself and most of my colleagues) I am in no way advocating discrimination. Nor was I being prejudiced as my statement was not a generalisted one about the entire white, middle class population but specific to the comments and attitudes of the OP in the petition thread and were relevant in the context of that OPs remarks about the play and teachers in general. So put that on your needles and knit it! If you are going to make accusations about posters, at least accuse them of things which make sense.
I said that the OP of the original - sign my petition - thread was a hypocrit for wanting the thread deleted from here and then touting it to the mail where she named her own daughter, making her searchable to anyone on the internet. Personally I would not do that to anyones child, especially my own. Nothing new there - it has been said now on the original petition thread and on the other thread on Secondary about the DM story. And I said that the Petition OP must have copied said thread before requesting its deletion as she had it to hand over to the DM. Finally the reason given by the petition OP for requesting deletion of the thread here was not the same as she gave the DM.
I said that this behaviour was dishonest. Which, by any definition of the word 'dishonest' it was. Again this was not troll hunting, making a personal attack etc. It was a legitimate comment and no different from similar comments by quite a few posters on the other two threads.
I said that I wasn't a bad teacher simply because I swore on a public forum.
Although I have been accused of that both on here and in the national press (and if that doesn't constitute personal attacks I don't know what does). The whole OP of this thread is, by extension, a personal attack on me :)
But I am ok with it not being deleted as I have my big girl pants on.
I named a bunch of fancy-schmancy unis I have seen my ex-pupils progress onto, which pretty much proves the fact that my swearing on a public forum doesn't prove my incompetence or unsuitability to teach(you know cos I don't actually do that in my classroom.)
I said that I consider it more immoral to make a teacher - the drama teacher of the original sign-my-petition thread - identifiable on a public forum. And that type of behaviour is more wrong than swearing. In addition I said I consider hypoctrical or fraudulent behaviour worse than swearing or being or behaving in bigoted way worse than swearing. I did not say the OP of this thread was doing any of these things and I think if you read the post properly you would know I was not talking about this OP but the actions of the petition-OP (who I could name as she has named herself in the media but who I won't). So, again, I do not see the T & Cs were broken.
I pointed out that the cause of the OP of that petition thread is supported by a neo-nazi, fascist, anti-semitic, homophobic web site called the daily stormer. Which I true, googleable and not breaking t&c's as far as I can see as there appears to be nothing in the T & Cs saying you cannot mention nasty, from-the-gutter web sites (cos that would definitely rule out mentioning the Mail on here). It is one of the higest search results on google when you search for the media story. I said in relation to that, all things considered, I would rather be slated by the DM readership that supported by that website. In fact on reflection now I would add that if i were actually being supported by that web site that would be a giant wake up call to me that I needed to reflect on my behaviour and attitude!
I didn't even swear :)
Although I did have some sentence-construction issues due to not proof reading, which is obviously a serious offense in an 'educator' such as myself :)
Now I presume the OP of this thread or someone who agress with him/her complained to MN that I had some how broken T & Cs. I fail to see how I did that. I think I made a fair comment in a reasonable way.
