My two bobs worth FWIW !

Unban him !

Yes he does go over the top and yes he does antagonise people at times but I sometimes find him quite amusing

When he starts to get on my tits, do what I do, close the thread down and dont read anymore, simple !

If you really dislike Beardy dont read his posts at all!

PS - I havent seen the holocaust thread !

I never got to read the post fully but I do know race is not a choice.

Religion is a choice however...hence it is not immune to slander and criticism. And in a cosmopolitan society even culture cannot be immune from examination, even if it's unkind. All three abrahamic books say some highly slanderous things about people like me simply because I don't follow their beliefs - I am not planning to sue though ;)

That is very true. It is hard to transcend one's upbringing...takes a special kind of strength few of us have. Especially if that upbringing does not give much focus on critical thinking and self examination.

Is it possible to 'block' a user - so you never hear or see anything from them even though they're still visible to everyone else?
That way....we could each decide who we 'ban'.

They want BM to be open minded but they cannot tolerate him...
A person should tolerate the masses but the masses cannot tolerate one person???

If you tolerate this...then your children will be next!!

Worked on motivating pacifists to march to their death in Spain anyway :)

Okay, I've let this thread have a run, but out of respect for the mods (please take a quick look at rule 14) I feel its now time to close it. And just a reminder in case some of you missed my post here, it's only a temp ban.

Thanks all and have a nice day/evening/night.

Sue
