Seems to be quite a good discussion going on in there. In spite of Oddball's predictable BNP-loving idiocy there's some very good grown-up debate going on.

There are quite a few startling howlers from people though!! I will challenge these everytime. Oddball, however, I will just ignore. You can't argue with the deluded.

:D

Yes it's quite a grown up debate . I always ignore Oddball, only checking his links ot see if they are too extreme . If he kept it to a few lines and made a point , rather than writing Mein Kampf at every post I might be tempted to read more . Mind you , he's a moron , so no real chance of that .

Dammit, I replied to OddBall.

I'm an idiot.

I think neilblume just upped the ante in a typically south African way....

Could get sensitive....

The moment it gets ranty we should lock it. Neill's post is all over the place, first of all talking about Muslims, then politics and religion, then something about suicide bombers. It's like reading a Sun headline.

Thats what i mean.

I can see it dissolving from here.

Despite having strong political views i dont feel this is the forum for me to air them on.

I come here to talk about wwii and shooting bbs at mates.

Thing is, you either discuss it or you don't - very hard to pick and choose.
All the mods have chosen to participate - Oddball's name was mentioned, so he joins in.
You can't suddenly pull the plug the moment someone mentions 'Jews' or 'Holocaust', 'Muslim' nor indeed use phrases such as 'typically South African'.
Or get cadgey when the phrase BNP is brought up.
Have a debate or don't - make your minds up!

I think we'll know that moment when it comes. :lol:

I agree with David , have the debate , keep it rational , and step in onlt when it starts getting "I want to to kill all ,send em all home etc ."

My own thoughts are steer clear of the anti Muslim stuff, TBH none of us know much about it other than what we read in the press.

I'd just hate for a search to pull up one of our threads and it to have talk of muslims, suicde bombers and ss in one thread :)

So far it hasn't dropped to the level that it would on most Airsoft forums (Oddball is the exception of course, 'cos he's a fucktard) *if* it does, then it should just be locked - with an explanation as to why it's been locked left as the last post.

Oh yeah, Neillblume. As far as South Africans go, he's actually quite reserved. A long time ago, I went out with a SA lass, possibly the most racist person i've ever met - and her family were just as bad as she was.
