Racism on Bentley's roof

[Mark_w]

How is that happening?

 

Muslims are the Worlds filth.

Why don't all members of that faith FCUK OFF ?

the filth that follow the Muslim faith are worthless

 

 

It's vile and it certainly is inciting religious hatred.

[Guest shearfox]

They are out of order, there is one thing having an opinion on a religion and another completely abusing people within a religion... those comments are an absolute disgrace and should be removed...

[hackneyfox]

One or two people's opinions shouted very loudly.

As someone posted earlier you'll hear exactly the same in many pubs and clubs up and down the country.

 

If you dislike it so much stop moaning about it on here where it'll make no difference and try discussing it on BR if it offends you so much.

Jobsworth fox is generally trolling and replies CHOMP to anyone who disagrees, most of us ignore him.

I'm not saying shut down Bentleys Roof (even though I disagree with 95% of what's posted on there), but those intolerant posts should be deleted and the people who posted them banned.

 

And according to you similar abuse has been leveled at most religions, same applies to those posts and posters.

 

Same applies on here although in my experience few share such extreme views on Foxes Talk.

On the odd occasion when I've read things on Bentleys, always because someone has posted a link on here, I've found it to be about a dozen old men looking down their noses at other fans. I've no interest in the place or what's posted on it. I do find it more offensive though that there are people who want to get the police involved because somebody else has an unfashionable view.

Nothing is ever removed on BR.

I don't like any religion and in the main  I dislike people who blindly follow the doctrines of any religion.

I'd happily ban every religious extremist from this country whatever their racial background.

Of course I'm sure not everyone is like that on Bentleys roof but I just feel it should be moderated better and certain people banned for such comments. It only attracts people like that because they know they can post such disgrace and get a reaction.

People don't look down their noses at others on here? Bummers and haters etc

Yep, people looking down at others happens on all forums

:xmasohmy: You said it was a good post a minute ago.

 

Actually I have no interest in that kind of post on here either. I can't stand fan snobbery.

Even if they did have the right to say as much stupid, vile, shit as they want (and they don't), free speech is no justification for idiocy and discrimination. We've all got the right to say that they're ****ing morons.

 

Exactly this.

 

I get so frustrated when people cry 'free speech' when I state that I disapprove a certain view. At what point am I infringing upon a person's right to speak? I make no attempt whatsoever to try to prevent them from voicing their opinion, only asserting my own view of it as part of the discussion.

 

Every time someone tells me I'm damaging freedom of speech I just laugh at them. They're totally incorrect.

[Soup]

Surely they're inciting religious hatred? Which is illegal as far as I'm aware.

I hate beetroot.Am I ok to say that.

[bovril]

I doubt you'd hear such stuff in pubs up and down the country. The internet was made for the spleen-venters amongst us, you just have to read the comments section of an online newspaper.

BR has never pulled a post or banned anyone, if it gets too outrageous FOL would and they clearly don't believe the law is being broken.

Really not sure why people who don't even go on the board are offended by threads they never read.

 

I hate racism in ever form and have argued the toss with many posters over the years, after a while you realise you will never change some people's opinions.

So what?

 

Why should that stop anyone saying that they should?

There's nothing wrong with disagreeing or even just calling them c++ts. The OP said the police should get involved which in my opinion is a little OTT.

[AoWW]

Er, perhaps I'm being dumb and missing the point, but if you don't like what's said on Bentley's Roof, or how their site is or isn't moderated, perhaps you'd be better off mentioning it on there, not here.

All that is required for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing?

Yeah I'd definitely agree with you there. There's no intent to harm anyone so just leave them to it.

There's no 'inciting' going on there though, it is just one bloke giving his opinion. I believe the behavior also has to be "threatening" for it to be illegal under that act, and the poster makes no threats. So I'd suggest it falls someway short of being illegal.

Does intolerance of differing opinions count as evil?

I'm a good person,what should I do.

I think there is. Surely saying they're 'the world's filth' is encouraging the hatred of Muslims?

What's the difference really?

[Bettsj2]

Bentley's Roof is the biggest pile of wank on the internet.

As a result, the most idiotic of fans go on there and post comment on subjects they know nothing about. They aren't worth anyones time so please, dont waste yours.

Well I mentioned free speech so I guess this is aimed at me. I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to criticise the views of others (quite the opposite infact), you can criticise the bloke on BR til kingdom come as far as I'm concerned, I am objecting to the idea that he shouldn't be allowed to voice his opinion. Because just as you should always be allowed to criticise others, so too should he. Whether he is right or wrong doesn't matter. What's important here is restricting the application of censorship, in order to protect free speech. You can't go around censoring people just because you don't agree with what they're saying. This isn't North Korea.
