As a matter of fact, I had the temerity to post on Jessel's thread, nothing 'mocking' or 'patronising', Jessel then abused me.
I don't know who it is you're referring to that has been throwing fluffy toys about.
I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to believe in what they want, just that they shouldn't receive any special status because of their beliefs.
You didn't answer my question. Why should a religious belief be treated any differently to any other kind of belief?
Maybe not offensive to you, but do you accept that it could be offensive to those who do have religious beliefs?
It could be, but that's their problem.
Some people will be offended if we take the piss out of their football team, their weight, their taste in music etc. Why should their belief in the supernatural be treated any differently?
I didn't say that.
Well it's not you Macky so you needn't look to me for a scrap it was your so-called "racist" remarks that I found equally un-offensive. But the mods were out in support of you, despite the fact that it MAY offend somebody (NOT ME!!) whilst what Newts said last week was deemed as being offensive.
I didn't say "anything anyone finds offensive is "their problem".", which is what you said I said.
I was talking about people who are offended if someone takes offence when people take the piss out of their beliefs in religion and similar stuff. Religion shouldn't be protected any more than any other superstition.
But the mods were out in support of you, despite the fact that it MAY offend somebody (NOT ME!!) whilst what Newts said last week was deemed as being offensive.
I think Singth is relating to this thread, which i started in good faith, only to be ridiculed by Boc, whos mod status has gone to his head (and he does have a canny resemblance to, you know who).
People should be free to start threads, without the fear of imbeciles posting nothing but bullshit at post 2 of there work.
Im sure Singth will put me right if ive got the wrong thread.
By the way Biff I think that you're wrong on the point you are making with MM. Just in case anyone thinks we hold hands sometimes down that country lane not far from your house.
Cool dog:icon_cool
So what was it that Newts said that made his a special case?
Nottingham Fox has stated his opinion on this in the thread it was posted in.
But generally, personal abuse is not the same thing as abusing what someone believes in.

But that is you making the decision of what somebody should be offended by Jeff.
Just because you or I don't find it offensive doesn't mean others don't.

Personally I found the Harold Shipman remark quite funny and I have never even met Boc and it's no slight against him from me either. I have a mate who looks a dead ringer for Peter Sutcliffe and I love that, but like I said, I'm shallow.[/QUOTE]
Take a look at my American driving license. People said the same thing......
Macky, when it comes to Religious post's, your the most offensive out there. To deny it would make people laugh.

My main point was, which he admitted to, was that he could be as offensive as me, and is in no position to lecture me on my comments.
Did I?
What on Earth are you talking about? I have never denied that.
I'll try again as you obviously didn't understand my question:
