We agree on something at last
I guess my worry is, unless we do read and respond, who is helping give balance to what people on Twitter are reading and writing.
Social media can be a force for good, but boy is it full on dangerous sh1t. Which is why the goings on at Cambridge Analytica are so worrying.
Can we have a poll?
Would you rather:
A) live in a world with social media, and keep NSC
B) live in a world without social media, and lose NSC
There are days when I’d answer B, but more when I’d answer A.

He has a point. I know Romanians and Italians in Brighton and Hove, who openly can't stand black people. I can't remember ever meeting a Brightonian or anyone else who openly said the same.
Racism is rife in certain nations on the continent.
When African immigants have been interviewed making their way to the UK before, and are asked why the UK .... it's always the same answer. Tolorance in the UK.
The people responding to the haters have my admiration.

NSCers in Twitter need to try and educate here - the first moron has zero replies! I note the homophonic one has been removed swiftly....

If I see openly racist or homophobic tweets on Twitter, I report them. Twitter is good at disabling accounts, or making the user delete offensive ones

On his last warning
The 1882 on their badge suggests more than the age of their club.
Which is the reason I have blocked a small but increasing number of dishonest clowns on here, especially the 'whatabouters' who seem to be on a permanent crusade to get me to not vote labour, not criticise racists, not critcise the conservatives, to admire Trump, and to bend to their will on account of 'whatabout' the 'fact' that (whatever utter claptrap it is they decide to offer as a 'reasoned' rebuttal). There is no need to engage with every clown on the block.
And, to be fair, it seems to be a bit pointless getting outraged by the defence of the battle of Bong by anonymous racists. It is what (some of them) do. I'm surprised they haven't enlisted the assistance of Katie Hopkins: "Disgraceful Bonk's racist anti-white gestures while playing for West Bromwich this weekend'
Great post.
I would add that also out there are countless spiteful left wing / anarchist haters; who won't listen to anyone else's view, want to harm people, damage stuff and lie to their back teeth.
Always take a step back to make sure one doesn't get sucked in and wound up by the Hopkins's / Burnley's of this world. It's what they want. Rise above their sad lives.

I can see why he's called Bungalow. He hasn't got much up top.
Sounds familiar

Banning multiple people because of things said on an internet forum and then telling the rest of us what you have done ? Your call but maybe you need to unwind a bit eh and not take things so seriously or people you disagree with ? You lost an argument with Looney a while back and then banned him for it?

I do sometimes find with the internet that sometimes it is worth not checking on how Schrodinger's Cat is getting on in it's box.
Like with the BBS, if I don't read it, the pixels won't make the resulting pattern on my screen and the 'musings' won't exist to me.
I'll leave this kitten unobserved.
This is very much my take on it

He was initially but it tailed off. The goals going in , left , right and centre must have distracted the small selhurst minority who thought this was worthwhile.
How do you think someone who is gay in your crowd feels about that? Its not the people that you direct stuff at that get hit the hardest.
Failing to grasp the facts of the Bong case.
Many working class white people in northern towns, can't stand the Asian background folk around them. Agree that the issues are complex.
But WTF has that got to do with a Cameroonian international player, on a work permit, claiming he was racially abused?
You've repeatedly raised the we would need to be in these places to understand rationale. So, what is the justifiable link between white-asian problems in Burnley, and the hatred towards Bong?
Wrong about the law by the way. Paedo's get long prison sentences, racists don't.

How did he ban him? Did he become HiTony but with a dick all of a sudden?

We are probably digressing but I don't think he does have a point. It doesn't matter how many people you meet who have a certain view, it does not justify stereotyping someone else of the same background. The treatment of Gaetan on Saturday was reprehensible but responding with insults about Burnley (or anywhere else) as many Brighton fans have done on this thread is rather ignorant. I will re-iterate comments I made earlier; we had a great time in Burnley, spoke to some nice people (locals) in an excellent pub and enjoyed the game. The North is not some sort of backwater as many Southerners like to claim.
