OK, on the Big Board.

There's no censorship, as we are still discussing the issue. It does appear that it was moderated away from the main board because of political bias. A better approach would have been to remove posters who wrote anything incendiary. Nevertheless the thread is still open.
If people discussed the matter it would have stayed on the BB, if you look at the whole thread even mods had commented on it.
Wellesley decided to hijack the thread and spout off on gang rapes and murders of thousands of women and children, which has nothing to do with the terrorist murders in Barcelona, so we lobbed the thread here, as it's just descends into mud slinging and abuse.

The Brexit and Trump threads have had strong opinions expressed from both left and right viewpoints and they've both remained on the Big Board.
This is almost certainly the single biggest news story of the day...and it's been moved.
Politics aside, it's a bit frustrating.

And that is different from the Brexit thread how?
I don't think anyone's accused Nigel Farage of being a rapist.

Don't worry everyone its all going to be fine, the Eiffel Tower is switching its lights off.
Bullshit if you look at the independent reports across the EU he actually has a point. Political pandering and I am afraid censorship really. Wellesley may be passionate and outspoken but he is not inciting mass violence is he? The thread is terrorism and the ideology that is responsible for them. You ARE censoring.

You will find that the moderators are OK as long as its "punching right" Retaliate and you will suddenly find you are both to blame. The Irony it is often hard left, or individuals using hardleft tac tics who are attacking centre right and centrists, kind of reflects whats going on in in the real world.
How? You are free to write whatever you want on this thread?
You know perfectly well at least 85% of the members of this site will never click on the 'other stuff'. Discussed yes but you don't fool me with what is frankly laughable attempts to justify it. Is your name Goebbles?

Would there be any objection to moving the thread back on the Big Board?

Yes, it is going to solve everything...solidarity and all that 'stuff'. Just need a few candles lit and of course any semblance of views being removed as far as possible from public view and job done.
Phew...such a relief to know that there are children walking around with their arms and legs intact today, that will never have to fear such attrocities again...hurrah for censorship.

I mean I posted 3 times after that post confirming what I thought, but don't let that get in your way of having a good old rant.

A good idea, but one might wish to hope that a poll wouldn't be necessary here.
That I guess was the point I was making. Thread in the wilderness so even if a poll would be held it would be irrelevant wouldn't it? Not necessary here because 85% of members would never see it.

I can answer that for you, the Brexit topic has more people pro remain than pro leave and the Trump thread has more anti Trump than pro Trump. It fits the political side the mods want to see, so they stay. This topic is mostly anti Muslim, which is hugely against the PC brigade and their beliefs, so it's moved and hushed up.

We woke up this morning looking forward to our last day in Pineda having decided not to walk round Barcelona on such a beautiful day, we passed through Barcelona at the time of the attack and our final train was delayed we knew not why, whilst we could hear sirens.
People on our plane had been caught up in yet another cowardly attack.
This will never end.
Thank you Catalonia for another wonderful holiday, such friendly happy people, my thoughts are with you.
