MNHQ, a word in your shell-like please - about these pro-BNP threads... consider this a petition

[TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle]

hasn't this gone far enough? these threads are being allowed to stand which considering the "policies" of the BNP and the views expressed by "activists" is appalling. yes, free speech is wonderful, but some of these threads can be seen as inciting racial hatred, there are many, many, disablist, homophobic, racist remarks made and implied and they always go the same way. the threads are started to cause a bunfight. the BNP will not get anymore supporters on here, so why be deliberately controversial?

mn is a self-moderated site. this is great and one of the reasons i use it. however, the mners are now moderating and saying that we have had enough. we have complained a LOT about this type of thing - please take note!

About as bad as I felt when you posted about my ds with your concerns about SN in mainstream I should imagine.

[daftpunk]

I have said I wont be starting anymore political threads, I said on the other thread that we've all had enough...I want to forget all this and start again.....the election is over...

Can you give me some space...

Please..

[ConDemNation]

the stance is firmly passive aggressive, victim mentality, turning it all around onto us, the 'abusers' of this poor, harmless catholic who means no harm and doesn't have a clue

the winding up is very very subtle but leads many of us to want to bash our heads on a wall

can nobody at MNHQ see this? If you read up on passive aggression you will see what I am on about. It's appearing blameless while engendering fury until everyone else loses the plot, then blaming them.

daftpunk this thread wasn't strted about you......read the op, it is mostly about BNP trolls and troublemakers

[TheSteelFairy2]

Oh Boo Fucking Hoo.

You do this every single time DP, so bloody manipulative. What was it on the SN thread "you have broken me" and yet here you are still.

Leaving now, can't deal with this nonsense any longer.

[ConDemNation]

No, DP, I don't think anyone can be arsed to any more. Stop whining will you.

[daftpunk]

The SN thread was from over a year ago..?

Why bring that up now..?

[TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle]

dp, unfortunately you have lost the moral high ground. you lost it with your comments to riven, to lenin and by purposefully upsetting and offending just about every mner on the board.

this thread isnt about you, its about the threads and views that many posters find offensive and inflammatory and believe should be stopped.

[scurryfunge]

Ah....poor little racist....

[hairymelons]

If it was me, DP, i'd be taking a long, hard look at myself.

[larrysgal]

Ahhhh, I've just got CDN's name ::slaps forehead:: Very good!

I like that description of passive aggression too.

I was a bit disturbed to see another BNP canvasser on another thread just before trying to use MN just to fine-tune their next pitch for power. Surely the site does not wish to be used in this way? Especially if its regular users are being upset, insulted and actually voting with their feet.

[ConDemNation]

For the time being Lenin. I don't think it will last.

[daftpunk]

Riven; I started 2 threads in the political section...I don't talk to LG anymore because I know I annoy her, I don't think all this is necessary...it's just making things worse.

[TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle]

and dp, to paraphrase you back at yourself... "this thread is in the correct forum, im entitled to say how i feel. if you dont like it, hide the thread!"

[ConDemNation]

Larrysgal, I am starting to think you are a very useful addition to the site!

hope we can start anew after my silliness this am.

[2shoes]

PLEASE before this thread is hijacked can we go back to topic and the problem of trolls/troublemakers spreading the BNP word.

[daftpunk]

LG;

I just think I need some space..y'know...from all the political stuff...it's over now.

[ConDemNation]

2shoes, I think there have only been two BNP supporters here, that bird the other day wishing them luck, and DP - or was Lincstash one as well? Can't remember now he has gorn.
