Pitchforks and a nice fire would be more fun to watch.

Don’t go foaming at the mouth about it.

Oh shit that’s hydrophobia! I’m turning myself in.

Yes he does like to stir,but we all do that with friends on occasion. He's a flavour and a character,I don't espouse some of his views,but I think tongue is firmly lodged in cheek in this instance.
I fully support Weeksy and how the forum is managed and I'm happy we are able to talk about things like this. I'm a member of a certain guitar forum where it's an instant ban to question a mod at all.
Still on TDPRI then? :)

The problem is, we may well know what Asian Boss is doing, but for new blood coming onto the forum, they wont and how does the place look then and how will its reputation and future growth be affected?

TBH that is the crux of the matter. It doesn’t matter how funny and wicked you think you are being , the man isn’t coming after you.

By all means have your own personal views about race etc, but there are sites you can post on where people may actually care.

That’s the issue - we don’t know what he is doing, do we ?

Just spotted this thread. So here's some clarification:
I was calling out the racist actions of the security staff, the polar opposite of throwing a race bomb.
As already discussed with weeksy via PM at the time ( & probably why the 7 day deal became 1 day before I was even aware of it):
It's now claimed that saying black as in BLM etc is ok over here, but blacks (plural) is racist, hence the description of the people being profiled at Wally World.
I'm not sure who came up with this, but it's almost guaranteed to be a white person as there are now woke left wing whites who are telling black people what is racist... which would be the epitome of racism as they think black people are unable to tell where racism exists, & black people are outraged over this recent crap from the woke.

Then ZRX61 comes in and throws in a race bomb this morning... He's been given 7 days off. If it wasn't for the fact i'd closed a thread recently for the exact same shit, then he may have only got 1 day or a warning, but coming straight in with shit like this just after i closed a thread, you're taking the piss out of me and the forum and i'm not accepting it.
No comments about the lack of mask from shoppers, staff or the many security peeps patrolling the place... altho to be fair, the security guards seem unable to notice white people & are usually seen profiling/shadowing the less pale among us.

I've just seen this too! :o

Unfortunately I must away now, moving swiftly through the firmament in my tastefully modified, luxury performance car that I might make million pound business (million pound business, million pound business, million pound business, INNIT!) and have taboo sex with my hot young(er) fancy lawyer girlfriend.

But I will be back. :thumbup:

Thank you to those who understood. And as for those who didn't and spoke against me; I shall return and admonish you with a series of particularly articulate and witty put-downs. ;)

Unless Weeksy locks the thread.

Because I just found the thread where I was being discussed. And I don't like being accused of being racist when I'm fucking NOT.
weeksy wrote: Mon May 10, 2021 8:28 am My point is, even if there's racial profiling by a security guard, unless you're actively looking in a racist context how would you know ? You can't see what a security guy is staring at. It's someones beliefs that's what he's doing.

There's no place for the comment, it was completely irrelevant to the thread, the topic and was purely in a context of race IMO

Hey if everyone here thinks i'm wrong, sure, tell me, but if it smells like fish, it's a fish IMO
The security staff are tasked with making sure people wear a mask, they specifically target one part of the population & ignore the others. It was relevant to the thread about wearing masks.

Maybe it was the way you phrased your comment that sounded bad? If people thought it was, maybe consider how you wrote something rather than getting angry?

1, It was phrased within the current (US) guidelines of not mentioning specific ethnicity when there is more than one of whatever ethnicity.
2, Not angry
3, Not responsible for how people choose to interpret something (see #2)
4, In future, should I have something to say about more than one black, white, latino or asian I will use the plural on this forum as the idiocy hasn't spread to the UK (yet)
