Ed - I have a special request for you

Ed

Since this site is on the internet there is a dang er that as a result of comments on the Kirk assassaniation the comments of some site members may end up in the site being banned from internet usage.

Under the crcumstances I want to suggest that the Beeno's Trumpet component of the site be scrapped with immediate effect since it represents at present as a hate campaign against religous and freedom of speech.

This is supposed to the discussion site of rugby and other codes of sport - the Beeno's Trumpet has nothing to do with sport and could cause problems for the site in the long run.

It's called free speech, Mike.

Your religion doesn't mean to others what it means to you. And theirs's doesn't mean to you what it means to them.

If people are happy with Kirk's killing, let them say so, and allow them an opportunity to have their sentiments run through the mill of public discourse.

The only mistake here, is exactly the one you want to make, which is to shut everyone up.

My suggestions is that we change the name of Beeno's Trumpet to Plum's Fruit Salad.

I have to agree

Let the people have their say, even if some comments are distateful or disgusting.

I have seen some recent comments on this forum that even I thought would not have come from certain posters, hence why I said the other day, it's the hard, horrible or difficult times where we get to see the real people's character come to the fore.

I am all for free speech, even if it provides people with the opportunity and platform to say horrendous things

Plum

There is problem - it is the fact that the site can be accused of spreading hate speech the way the discussion went on site and that could lead to close down of the site based on internet rules as to hate speech. I do not want that to happen and since the Beeno's Trumpet issue has zero to do with discussing sport issues and has the potential of drivng away members from the site - I believe it is endangering the future of the site as a sport forum.

I like discussions on rugby, tennis and cricket issues and value the site as such - why endanger the futiue of the site by issues non-related totally from sport-related issues, - becaue there we can discuss issues and made our imports without using hate speech - which is not regaded as Freedom of speech anyway.

ouMaaik, can I have some of what you smoking ?

In a worst-case scenario, Ed could re-open the site under a different address, re-invite all members, and load the Ruckers database onto their new site. This would take an hour to do.

..so calm down, Mike.

DumbMike, this thread belongs in the Beeno section.

Get back on that thread, we have you on the ropes.

Get back on that thread ....

he's lost the fecking thread.

The clown doesn't realise that he could be sued for abuse of the ingliss language.

I am h inking of t he future of t he Forum on the internet - noth ing else. The situation in the USA where the HQ of th e itnernet platforms are is in the USA and murders and encoura gement of ciolence is now a serious sisue. Th e same can be said of justification of violence like happened in the case of t he Kirk assassination.

It ill only be for one person to find this ssht on site and bring it to public atention and the site will be closed down within days.

Hate spreading is not free speech and that is where the shit will hit the fan. Atatcks on religion in any form is regarded as hate-spreading and that is where the media outlets are trying deperately not to be banned for hatespreading and MSNBC forced a contributor for much less than what was spread on this site.

Just a warniing - that is all I want to bring to attention.

We should change Beenotrump to HateDave?

The spirit of The Censors is still alive….back in the day the best laugh in the movies was always when the audience realized the Censors had missed a subtle pornographic comment.

You can take the oke out of government, but you can’t take government out of the oke…even if it’s town government.

Can the rugby forum be renamed "Damian de Allende is the GOAT!"

Mike has a soook every so now and then.....he'll get over it.

The Beeno section could be renamed as the Hangbag Stuff section

"Damian de Allende is the GOAT!"

Off all the comments in all the land, this is the one wot will make me buy a plane ticket, Star.

Never utter those words again.

NEVER!
