The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
Lets face it, bad form from the moderators to kill the thread. There have been more contentious threads posted recently that only benefitted from more articulate language. While it could be suggested that Crashtester may come across as a bit of a knob, what he said did make sense.

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
i had complaints about it. tbh i didnt close it because of its 'provocative' content but more that it was a bit too trolling..

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
I don't think it was what he said as such, it was the fact it was Crashtester who has a long history of trolling who posted it.
I don't think he was trolling here as such, but it was definitely flamebait and I'm not sure if he had any real interest in discussing it seriously. It was simply there to annoy people (especially yahwe I imagine).

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
What is this talk of "moderators". JJ closed it.
The thing itself was another 'I'm a bigot an I can cause offence and I know it' sub-par twaddle. Nothing to get excited over like this.

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
are you suggested some kind of lacking in impartiality?

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
in a perfect world, all ideas are expressed with supporting facts
in a cynical free world, all ideas expressed should be heard no matter how offensive they are
we live in an offensive world and a very cynical society
sad but true

Not so much a lack of impartiality, more a reluctance to employ the same standards to different people.

In this context, that's not a bad thing. People who have been consistently shit get away with a lot less than people who have been better. Would you really want it any other way?

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
Calm Down Vaio, Its Only A CrashTester Thread.
And it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo asking to be closed. And he was asking to be banned too. Just like I was once upon a time.

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
If I had posted this thread, the title would have been "nodrog explains... The Crashtester explains... homosexuality" thread.

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
Can I just say that I got more pos rep for that thread than I think I have for any other. I always expect people to dislike my threads, it seems part of the course for me, but from the rep comments more people liked it than disliked it.
My reputation was slashed from -300 or something to -66 - surely that says something.
I dont think it should have been closed.

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
I'll give you some pos rep for being different.
EDIT: Need to spread some before I can give you some

Then I shall mention it now.
Yahwe gave me very good rep for that thread because he is a very nice man.
I am now on -46, people are still repping me for it.
I may do another good thread soon but feel I need to do about another 1500 crappy ones first.
I dont want to get above my station, like.

Re: The 'CrashTester tells it like it is.....homosexuality' thread
I think one day homosexuals will be embraced. At one point in history, if you were not of wealth or royal family and you were fat, you were not accepted within your community. Now fat people rule the world.
