Are all those people racist, sexist, disabilist etc - no, not all of them. So people can change as they become more educated, experience more etc.

If they changed then they were, but they aren't anymore - it doesn't mean they never were.

Anyone who comes on here and calls people seeking asylum 'savages' is a racist and yes, anyone defending that is a racist too.

No 1. I didn’t say you were cancelling him.

No 2. There is no difference. That’s my opinion.

No 3. There were a lot of people in the years I was growing up who used derogatory, offensive, and unacceptable terms and language about a number of different groups of people. Are all those people racist, sexist, disabilist etc - no, not all of them. So people can change as they become more educated, experience more etc.

Anyway, there’s no point continuing. Have a nice evening.

1 - In direct response to me you said people were cancelling him, so it certainly sounded like it.
2 - That sounds like you are saying I'm cancelling him, technically Rob has cancelled him, I just chose not to converse with an idiot. Me recognising that it's pointless conversing with him, is not the same as taking away his platform to communicate with anyone, which is what cancelling is. That's my prerogative and very different to Rob giving him a ban. I don't owe him my time to spout rubbish. But he was free to continue spouting his nonsense to anyone that wanted to listen, so I didn't cancel him. If you can't see the difference, it's because you don't want to.
3 - Racist is as racist does, but again I specifically stated I have never seen someone be racist and then admit they are wrong on a messageboard or any social media which is very different to people changing from adolescence to adulthood in your example.

You too

Marcus Forss, but playing on the other wing.

the last left wing striker I can remember at the Boro was when Lennie shifted Slaven out on the left to accommodate Hendrie and Wilkinson. Was never gonna work as Bernie is the opposite to a left winger.

I would like fmttmadmin to explain why they haven't deleted Kello's post.

In fairness they have banned him. Leave the post up as a reminder that we have to combat racism whenever we see it.

Admin is a thankless task but they do it brilliantly. We have rid ourselves of two racists in no time at all. They will no doubt appear on other internet forums spouting their hate.

I know Admin cannot be on here 24/7 and do agree that they do a good job but do feel that Kello's post should have been deleted. I was unaware that he had been banned, and so he should have.
 
Mad that they think trying to curb Linker is fine, but they never did it with what Clarkson or Andrew Neil used to say with their own interviews and channels etc. Neil works/ worked for the Spectator also, FFS.

It's not like Liniker was wrong either, what he was saying was pretty accurate.

What's next, are BBC going to stop showing England games because the players and manager want to support minorities?
