Rwanda

I sort of agree with that volver hence my first comment but if you hand it over to MN or GN you have to be happy handing control over what's offensive to Elon musk or trump for that matter.

But this is just a discussion site aimed at older people. There are a limited number of posters and we should just rub along.

If Elon Musk re-writes the rules of twitter to define what he think is offensive - or more likely says "anything goes", then we can all decide to take part or not. Its his platform. None of us have to be on it and its not a human right to tweet. If we don't like it, don't engage.

That would be fine if it wasnt for the influence that all those sites hold. I dont think its particularly important with regards to GN or MN but the others I am not so sure.

Agreed.

I didn’t see the post but if anyone makes a report which leads to a poster being banned I think they should have the courage of their convictions.

Why do you need to know? I wasn't here and therefore (annoyingly) don't know what the post said. Obviously, another member pointed GN in its direction. They decided.

However, if it makes you feel better, I will stand up and shout "I'm Startacus" just to stop this ridiculous conversation. Currently, so many topics are so very, very much more worthwhile discussing.

I was at work and I'm not a racist

FYI Urms said that she was concerned about male Muslim immigrants coming here on small boats.

She also mentioned the Manchester attack.

I don’t think that she should have had her post deleted, let alone that she should be suspended or banned.

I’m very much of the left wing persuasion, but I find the congratulatory back slapping distasteful.

Don’t bother replying to me. I’m just posting this so that you know what you are getting all excited about.

No, scrub distasteful, pathetic

Well there we have it.

I suspect people have been reporting her weeks though

if she is a her

And you know that because...

The moderators had already deleted other posts on this thread, so I still think they were probably already keeping an eye on it - but I guess we’ll never know if somebody reported again, who decided to suspend, and exactly why.

she posts really offensive stuff to wind people up? the site is public, anyone can report the posts. They don't have to be an active poster

I hope she’s back soon.
She’s one of the most interesting posters on this board - not pompous, not self congratulatory, not preachy.

I agree Kandinsky.

No. That isn’t how it works.

I will happily own up to reporting.
I cannot reply to posters if they have offended me because there are folk out there targeting me.
So reporting it is.

Yes it is, Urmstongrans post was just not as succinctly worded as other posts, mine included..

Aye, OK then

I must be an optimist, I’d assumed the mods did keep a watching brief once there had been an issue before on a particular thread. I’m totally with you on people saying so on the thread when they report another poster, it seems cowardly not to.

The mayor of Calais and the French foreign secretary have both proposed that Westminster set up a refugee processing post in the North of France.

This would cost a fraction of the ridiculous Rwanda plan and would be much more effective.

No reply from Patel or Johnson.

Was that not offered by the French some years' ago?
