BTW I note that you have again decided against acknowledging your total lack of respect for another person on this forum. It speaks volumes.

The comment that person in question themselves has liked?

I think you're taking a light-hearted comment a little too seriously.

then read what @LutonSpurs wrote about his lived experiences. How the way you run this board is contributing to that… think about that for a second

I've got a lot of time for @LutonSpurs and I sincerely don't wish for him to have to go through anything like that.

I've drawn a very clear line at assuming someone's religion because of their skin colour, that shouldn't even need saying.

Mark had a chance to do that when he was pulled up on it in the thread. He chose not to. The intent of the comment was clear.

It would certainly have helped his case if he had. Although I still believe the correct response is to challenge such points and ask for clarification where it isn't clear.

I don't think that anyone is suggesting that people shouldn't be able to criticise religion. In a thread or conversation about religion, that is fair game. I think that it is perfectly possible to do that and still be respectful. What I disagree with and think you are completely wrong on is letting people get away with underhand racist comments using religion as cover.

In which case, I may not have been clear myself.

If that is truly what has happened then it's obviously unacceptable. But had I known Khan was Muslim I may have made a similar comment (probably more insulting) from time to time. That would have had nothing to do with.his skin colour and everything to do with him holding ridiculous beliefs.

Let me get this straight.

You are now conflating the freedom to criticize religion in an open forum with an example of casual racism in a thread? Combined with your creative edit of the repositioned thread in question, this is yet another example of you trying to steer the narrative to safe ground as I doubt anybody doesn't agree that (respectful) criticism of religion should not be allowed.

Repectful? No, there's no good end to respect of religion.

Look at what's happening in the US where religion has been allowed to seep heavily into society and get its blood stained hands all over the SC. Religion should be ridiculed and criticised at every given opportunity, it must be kept as far away from being acceptable in society as possible.

The silence of the poster is due to having been banned.

What else am I supposed to do? Assume intent and make a judgement based on that? Everyone deserves the right of reply.

He’s literally been posting elsewhere on this forum. Everyone is aware you’re full of brick on here but at least try a bit.

Ok EDL Dave, it’s not even 11am and you’ve already used up your internet and edgelord tokens.

I haven't checked the moderation settings, but I had a pm from him the other day saying he's been banned. I'll check.

Generally when I ‘have a lot of time for someone’, I engage with them in a respectful manner even when I fundamentally disagree with their ideas or beliefs. I don’t goad them or wilfully dismiss their lived experiences just because it hasn’t happened to me.

I don't. I take the tinkle out of everyone. Many have a sense of humour and respond in kind.
 
Seeing as this has become the thread to discuss racism, and to try to move on slightly from a conversation that I'm not sure can be resolved.... what do people think of those twitter accounts where they post a picture of a footballer when they were a child and ask people to guess who it is which is, 100% of the time, followed by hundreds of guesses of footballers with a totally different colour skin.... casual racism that's seemingly acceptable... its abhorrent to me
