tiercel Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I was one of the ones that complained about the post. Not because I objected to the content but because I thought that this is not the arena to air those thoughts in. I do not want to see what looks like BNP advertising on this site. If I want to read that type of content there are plenty of sites to visit that cater for that need. As a longstanding member of this forum I come in here for information and the light-hearted banter that the site offers. Not to be bombarded with pseudo Nazi propergander. I therefore exploited my rights as a member and a white person to complain about posts that I found objectionable. As for saying that "if you take away the members what do you have?" I have been on this forum for over four years and I have seen them come, and I have seen them go. But, the forum is still here. And as long as the content is kept to the ethos of Pigeonwatch so it will be for a long time to come. Tiercel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you don't appear to be extending that privelege to others who's opinion may be different to yours. Pseudo Nazi Propoganda? BNP? What a load of PAP. Don't take this the wrong way but there's a real world out there. Maybe you should have a look at it. Thats the last post I'll be making in this topic.

JohnGalway Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 As a non British person I would agree that there is a lot of political stuff floating around PW lately. I did not, and the mods will know this, report any thread or poster (save for a couple of spammers during the year). But some of the threads I've found distasteful being honest borderline offensive. I also live in the real world which is full of Polish, Latvians, Lithuanians, Nigerians, Pakistanis, Indians and god help us but even Johnny Foreigner himself the Englishman has arrived on Irish shores . All grand by me, because I'm working and living away quite happily in my little corner of the world. I've done a small amount of travelling and as far as I can see it's plenty big enough for everyone. The U.K. is not the only part of the world people travel to. It's not my intention to offend any of the posters to this thread, I realise I may by not going along with the majority of the posts in this particular thread but that's how it may be. When I don't agree I simply say so, like I say without trying to offend. I know very very little about all of you or your circumstances except from your shooting exploits which are all top notch PW has in my expierence been and continues to be a fantastic forum with friendly folk who are always helpful with sound advice and a good welcome to new members. It's a welcoming place and in my opinion by far and away the best shooting website that I've found (and I've done a lot of searching thus far!). I can't speak for anyone save myself but I for one won't be leaving Good luck to all, John. Just to ad, I don't believe I read Marks original post so I'm only commenting generally from what I have viewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
