An Open Letter

[Something Else]

What ever next? A cartoon of Mohammed???

[Hairbautt]

How 'bout the star of david?

'least I think it was popcorn.

Not a popcorn. It's actually actually a doomsday device button. Try pressing it next time you're down there.

[Hairbautt]

You're mental.

[metal maniac]

Yes, mob mentality, that must be it.

This and this.

Is what made JP make that thread, which peat voted in. Does it seem like he didn't get the joke at that time, or that there was any basis for him to believe that people really thought he was a racist?

Admittedly, the bit about not taking it lightly was a bit strange at first, but the way I read it, he was messing with people right back.

=-=

These last six months I must have had at least five different people call me a racist, in different contexts, and that's hardly the worst thing people have called me.

I've never had a problem with peat, haven't talked to him much lately, but I don't believe we had any issues between us. And while I think I've seen him say he had a dodgy sense of humour or something, there was, and is nothing to suggest that he doesn't have the capacity to see that people were joshing around here.


If what was said before is true, the only thing that points to peat being hurt is the PM he sent to Hairbautt. Yet somehow JP was contacted over that PM by someone else, because Herbert made it public, and this mess started.



I don't see how anyone did anything wrong beforehand, and if someone did, we've been doing the same thing over and over for years. Most of us regulars who've made a few posts in the lounge have had a couple of silly threads made about us.

I don't think peat is stupid, or that he doesn't notice things happening on the board. He's here as much as me, if not more. I find it really strange that treating peat like one of us would be wrong. Or that he really wouldn't get that it was a joke.

I like peat, FFS.

If I'd made a serious PM to someone, venting my anger, if it really was that, I don't know if I'd like some mega-super-duper-drama over it.

For all of that, I'm sorry if the thread made peat sad. But I'm annoyed, on his behalf, 'cos I think this is embarassing.

So can we please drop this until we've got confirmation, one way or another?

Man, That shit is tame he didn't say anything racist! Leave it to the hippies to whine!!I've said way worse then that on here and I could give 2 fucks if anyone does a poll on me. You could do a poll and then take someones poll and shove it up your ass too!!!

Take another look at the writing behind the ninja in the avatar. I know you can't see much of it but I daresay you can see enough to realise that it doesn't say 'Idol'.

I think it's great, btw, when people call another person stupid while they're exhibiting stupidity themselves.

In my country, we call it irony. Are you American? If so please accept my apologies for speaking in tongues.

At last, the voice of reason. It was so obviously a joke the most dim-witted of people could see it.

Thank's for that, arse mechanic.

[peat moss]

Sorry for all the trouble JP , I just got back from camping to e-mails from Ross and Hairbutt and feel like a shit . I really should grow a thicker skin , I just felt like I was being attacked for my bad humor when it seems so rabid on this board . I did apologize to Bawa , thru PM that night , hope he'll forgive me .


This site has changed so much since I first joined , its fucking boring lately so I stepped out of my comfort zone I guess . I Pm'd Harry as I was pissed off but typical news poster ..... right over his head bless his kind soul . I think I'll just pick my spots better , posting I mean .



Again I apologize to J Paul, and all the members here . I'll go hide with my tail between my legs but thought I had to at least acknowledge JP's post .
