Why Are Certain Abers Allowed To Highjack Certain Threads?

[anotheoldgit]

Today I had the need to ask the Editor to remove a perfectly reasonable thread appertaining to the recent riot taking place on a street in London.

From the off set this thread was high-jacked by certain members who obviously have taken a dislike to not only me personally, but also to the threads that I place on the news section of answerbank.

I did report one of the offenders, but no action against him was taken

The ED or someone else was good enough to remove the thread, but did not take the opportunity to chastise the offending members.

/// I would like to ask why certain members are allowed to constantly post questions that are blatantly racist ? ///

Don't you realise that makes you sound so silly.

Are we to no longer report on such matters in case we are called racist.

Oh! I forgot isn't that the reason that the authorities and the police were slow in taking action against those Pakistani grooming gangs?

[ummmm]

They are black people in this case.

[ummmm]

Okay - now we've changed the subject!

[jackthehat]

Moving the goal-posts....? Surely not....

[Postdog]

People don't like you? Honestly, who'd have thought..

[THECORBYLOON]

Can you hijack your own thread?

[Zacs-Master]

I'll ask again.....
How do you know they're 'ethnic' AOG?

[Purist]

From what I have observed this site is all about advert revenue, I would doubt the Editor present and past would care one jot about the current bickering and in fighting this is why the moderating has been delegated to regular users. I would hasten to guess that they would be unwilling to ban regulars long term as they are needed to keep the site active and busy looking in order to attract more advertisers.

AOG never moves the goal-posts.
pah! ha! only when it suits him which is after anyone dares to reply to his threads who don't agree with him.

/// More importantly, how do you know their 'ethnic'? ///

That should be how do you know their 'ethnicity'?

Or

How do you know that they are 'ethnic'?

[Zacs-Master]

I corrected myself AOG. You must have missed that.

How do you know they're ethnic?

[Mamyalynne]

Mobs, rioters.looters may bring attention to their grievance but do little or nothing to improve a situation.

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, you're the last person to be picking up on spelling or grammatical errors!

[EcclesCake]

You're pedantry, preciousness and puerile behaviour are not covering you in glory AOG!

/// but what on earth are 'certain ethnic minorities?' ///

Exactly what it says.

Certain ethnic minorities, not all of them but certain ones.

There are many minority groups who make up the ethnic minorities.

[THECORBYLOON]

That's why you were asked to identify which minority you meant but if appeared to a struggle for you to tell us.

[Zacs-Master]

AOG, you clearly don't believe that someone can be black and as British as you or I, if you did, you would have thought twice about using the word 'ethnic'.

I find it fascinating (if a little frustrating) digging into your psyche as I point out basic flaws in your statements. You're a walking anachronism who clearly has trouble living in a world where 'ethnics' (shudder) and 'blacks' (double shudder) can breath the same air as you.

AOG those rioters were a mixture of black people and white people.

Why are you picking out (but keeping it secret) one particular section of the mob?

It makes no sense.

Zacs ... there was a basic floor in your statement on the deleted thread and if AOG was a bit more clued up he could have pulled you up on it.

[Zacs-Master]

He's backed himself into the same corner by resurrecting his original thread. He can't answer:
a) why he assumes they're 'ethnic'
b) why he's stated that they are all black
c) who these 'certain ethnics' are other than they're 'black'.
