Because normally balanced decent people dont write the stuff hes written.
Im not jus talking about the abusive racist non-feeling posts in this thread... Not even the posting of a porn picture involving a blonde girl giving fellatio with the words... get off my nuts aimed at emma....
Im talking about the sickening thread which i beleive martin removed entitled 'i hate jews'... where he made some absolute disgraceful remarks towards zlatan, gray, majed and most people of a non-white american heritage.
Not too mention the picture of a string of bosnian body bags with a statement to z about his uncle being 3rd back on the right or some such disgusting shit.
Yes you can say that thread was a result of this and that he was jus going for impact....but normal decent people dont even think those things.
and yeah i think alot of people knew full well that with a little bit of pushing burke would cross the line... So what, is it our fault hes so dumb and predictable....
Did people gang up to get him banned... No, there was no need, he did it to himself with unbelievable ease.
Theres also a massive difference between the standing up for people that some do and the ganging up that has gone on so many times here... its not the same thing
Anyway... I'll talk to you on msn later vin
I dont even want you to think that I am trying to justify what he did.
He is completely wrong (I talked to him, he knows what I think), I was just bringing up an example of something similar that happen in the past (albeit, not as bad as this)
Emma, if you think I was equally wrong, thats fine by me. TBH, the whole thing was forgotten, until this fiasco came up. I am not mad at you at all.
This whole England versus the USA thing is a load of crap. I consider Paul a friend, and like Tom, Denco, Emma, River, and others from England
If I was ever to go there, I would hope that I could call a few of these ppl to meet up with for something to eat, and maybe an EPL game (preferably Arsenal !!). And the same invite goes if they were to visit Niagara Falls.
Enough is enough of all the bickering....
In a few months time, we may not have a place like this to tear each other apart !!!!
