Bagpuss Had It Right

[AndyRM]

It has never been about football. The fact it was a comment on the football thread that caused his outrage doesn't mean it was about football.

It was about an allegedly racist comment, and the moderation (or lack) thereof.

The OP literally mentions football.

I followed to hear more about bagpuss

Bagpuss dear bagpuss
old fat furry catpuss
wake up and look at this thing that I bring
wake up, be bright
be golden and light
wake up and hear what I sing

That's one way of admitting you know f*ck all about Scottish football.

Football, cause of all sorts of social problems. 👅

"The moderater who at will closes / locks / deletes threads refuses to do anything about an openly racist comment on the football thread."

First line of the OP. This thread was always about football.

The thread started out about the alleged racist remark, the fact it was on a football thread was coincidence.

No he didn't.

He mentioned "the football thread". He made no mention of football itself.

There is no doubt whatsoever to any rational person whose first language is English, that this thread was NOT intended to be about football. It was about a comment in another thread.

That's one way of admitting you know f*ck all about Scottish football.

I have no idea why you might believe it indicates anything whatsoever about my knowledge or otherwise about Scottish football.

Noir why it would be "admitting" anything, since I have never claimed to have any significant knowledge about Scottish football.

The key word is football.

Thanks for questioning my knowledge of English comprehension.

At least I can spell.

If you think that, then

Thanks for questioning my knowledge of English comprehension.

I was very much right to question it, since I doubt there is a single other person reading the OP who thinks "the key word is football"

At least I can spell.

As can I. My typing, however, is atrocious even at the best of times, and even worse at the moment, with my right wrist still in a cast.

The moment I see "flounce" and the person that uses it, I can immediately see the match. Never a surprise. Agree with OP on this. Why not try to understand why the person left and see if things can be done better.

I’m Welsh so admit that, like the Scottish, I know nothing about football.

Don't know a hell of a lot about Rugby at the moment either

Has anyone actually worked out what post caused the initial offence?
The mods have stated it wasn’t the Hun comment.

I reckon it was the one that contained the words 'Oiligarchs' and 'Emirates overlords'.
