Racism and Abuse

[vetran]

This leads me to the question, what exactly did you post on mumsnet that resulted in heavy handed moderation?

He told them his penis beaker was bigger.

I think it was my constant requests to take the new members up the Oxo Tower.

Hello Folks,

I got this from a moderator here after he called me racist, xenophobic, nasty and ignorant in private messages.

(NotAllThere - Respect my authoritah!)

I think its really wrong to abuse people in silence so I posted one of the private messages below:


You appear to be ignorant of a number of points.

There is no freedom of speech on this site. What is permissible to post is determined solely by the moderators and Administrator.

There is no due process on this site. What action to take when something that is not permissible is posted, is decided solely by the moderators and Administrator.

UK law definition of racism and racial discrimination includes nationality and national origin.

Unless you are an expert in UK libel law, I suggest not making threats concerning it.

Feel free to take it up with Administrator if you disagree, and I'm sure he'll take appropriate action. Other than that, desist from making nasty comments about any race or identifiable ethnic or national group.

You got an infraction and a private message that no-one else need know about - do try to get over yourself. Have a nice day.

All fair enough legally speaking but the wider questions of the relevant laws and their intent should be questioned. Defining someones nationality or religion as a racial grouping is quite clearly illogical and ridiculous as this is something that could change. Unless you go the full Michael Jackson then a racial grouping should be immutable.

If only we had a constitution in the UK and free speech enshrined in law then none this nonsense would have come to pass. These are Orwellian laws made by the left to socially engineer society into thinking in a certain way.

Racist and xenophobe posts are against the rules, so what you are complaining about?
