Infracted from a thread in AH

    I have been infracted by Humanj and I think its not justified. Allegedly I was being racist. This is the bones of the infractment.
    BraziliaNZ: We wont sort it out. Inner city knacker kids are allowed do what they want basically.

    I added
    And travellers.

    The Judicial system in this country is a joke, you murder somebody in this country and the DPP will nearly always go for the lesser manslaughter charge for whatever reason, probably a higher conviction rate.

    Skangers and knackers get to run around doing whatever the hell they like with no fear of punishment or if they do get time, its a small stint in a cushy cell.

    This was deemed racist as I was allegedly saying that all travellers are criminals. Can somebody please show me where I said that?

    I said that travellers are allowed to do what they like NOT that they are all criminals.
    • There are countless instances of traveller setting up camp where they like.
    • They can claim exemption to tax if they list themselves of no fixed abode.
    • There are many cases involving summons to travellers where they have been ignored and the case thrown out of court due to the summons not being received.
    • Many instances of travellers driving with no tax, NCT or insurance.

    This is only a handful of instances where travellers are treated differently to the settled community and none of this is excused within the settled community hence why I made that point.

    I have never been infracted and if you read some of my posts, you will see that I generally contribute worthwhile discussion, this infraction is PC gone mad IMO.

    Just to save time here, I've taken a look.

    The AH charter states the following:
    dr.bollocko wrote: »
    Zero tolerance will be shown to posts containing racism or discrimination. This includes the travelling community. Please do not use this forum to incite hatred.

    Your post lumped "Travellers" in a discussion on antisocial behavior sparked off by a girl kicking a shopkeeper unconscious. Together with your list above, this represents a particular type generalisation we want to avoid on Boards.

    The subject of Travellers on Boards has a torrid history. It's not against the rules to hold opinions such as yours - but it is to post against the Charter which is in place to avoid trainwrecks.

    Infraction upheld.
