Default Can we delete that "Jewland" thread?

I'm not exactly PC, but that's some ugly language, and it has no place here. This site is run so well I hate to complain, but were it my decision to make, I would delete the thread and perhaps even block the user. This isn't free speech.com, though the poster is certainly entitled to exercise that right. However, there's no reason to allow an individual to spew hate and racism on what is, at the end of the day, a primarily motorcycle oriented forum... and one of the best at that. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

I think this thread is anti- anti semitic, and I find it offensive!

Exclamation I Haven't Seen This Post, But There Have Been Acouple Others

Yes, we have a right!......But as stated above by "DesmoBob" This is a mc fourm right!??..........I say take the hate, and spew out/off the board!

You want to talk crap with someone, PM a friend if it has to be on this board.

Last week I logged on to a post that I thought had something to do with baseball or football! Then what am I sitting here reading?...But some friggin' asshole talking about going into his friends bath room and shit in the back flusher!! Oh....it's a joke

It was kinda to late, to change the friggin' channel!

Then I was sadden to see.....some of my peps, jumping in this assholes band wagon!!
Anyhow, I'm sorry but it's not always easy to know when you pull up a post if your going to be reading hate, racism, or porno crap! Until it's to late.....?

I've been on this board for (only) about a year, And I had never come across anything like this before.....I hope it goes away too.

Peace Jeff

With all respect, if you don't like what I said, you are also free to change the channel. I defended Ceri's right to express him/herself, yet you would challenge my right to do the same. As you so eloquently expressed it, ?

Hi Bob,
I think thats a little bit harsh to want to censor Ceri for his outspoken opinions, even though I myself think he was a little over the top there...
If you have friends and aquaintances in the Lebanon, maybe you too would understand his anger. As for this being a damned fine MC forum,well, couldn't agree more, and as long as the "political" shit stays in the lounge, I don't see the problem. This site has a huge range of people from all around the World dropping on in, brought together by passion for motorcycles first and foremost, but still a real representation of 21st Century humankind. If we can't jump around and sqwalk a bit here, where else can we go ? Other sites full of people who think like we do ? Thats nice, but not very constructive. I don't agree with a lot of the stuff you, Simba, Sburns or some of the others say sometimes, but it makes me think, and sometimes makes me validate my own entrenched points of view, or even change them...so that can't be a bad thing, no ?
Whether we like it or not, politics dominates our lives. From some asshole in DC deciding that MC's are dangerous, to some morons in the World starting a war, this crap touches us all, and if we are not free to discuss it, then what kind of World, and what kind of legacy, are we leaving our kids ?
We have a common passion, lets use that to draw us together.
If you think you have a good argument to persuade Ceri that the "Jews" don't control America, tell him about it. Exposure to light makes most silly shit whither and fade. But asking for him to be banned,....hmmmm. A bit too much Big Brother there, methinks.

Just my humble opinion.
Peter

I didn't ask for him to be banned, only that the post be deleted. I did say that were it my decision to make, perhaps block him.

Again, just expressing my opinion. And for what it's worth, I do have friends w/ family in Lebanon and elsewhere in the Middle East. They may have a different opinion of Israel's current campaign than my own, but they don't spout anti-semetic, racist BS.

I respect your opinion, and I thought you expressed it quite cogently. You lost me a bit asking for evidence that the Jews don't control America, but that's okay. Obviously, I won't be wasting my time with that. Given his comments after a recent drunk driving arrest, it sounds as if my favorite director Mel Gibson may be a better source for that kind of information.
