    I don't think you've anything to apologise for snyper and I don't think anyone who 'gets' boards would think differently - it's all banter amongst online mates who share a common interest - posting on an internet forum and having a bit of a laugh the odd time. There'll always be character associations - you, the flutt and his 'steamers', pighead, wibbs and his way with the wimminz, the list is endless - point is we're all like barflies down the local and there's nothing wrong with that.

    Karoma's answer to this, in my opinion, has never been topped (when responding to an old school AH dispute):

    "Some peoples knickers are far too twisted, the rest need to twist them some more."

    Personally, I can see the lighter side of most things - dishonesty and plain downright insults are probably the only things that will wind me up
    The high moral ground, politically correct brigade who don't know what it's like to have lived through a full blown recession and what's in store for us have my pity. They really don't understand the importance of and the escape that a bit of honest banter and humorous relief that can bring.

    Yes, unfortunately I'm old enough to know all that.

    Better stop now.

    We've all got issues Synper, you, Terry and I have some crackin' ones, but you're way of coping is to joke in a way I, and it seems Terry, find really offensive.

    That's all.

    You people sicken me.
    Ok, finding such humour offensive is one thing - I can understand that (even if I sometimes find paedophilia jokes funny, as in the ones that poke fun at/attack abusers or media hysteria) but that comment... surely you don't really mean it? And I just think Pedobear is an hilarious looking image, nothing more.

    And I thought "Pedo" was a latin prefix meaning "Feet".

    'Pedes' is latin for feet, but as -phile is a Greek suffix I suppose 'podophile' would be a foot fetishist?

    Freedom of speech is the freedom to say things that other people find offensive or repugnant. Its ALSO the freedom to say "I think thats offensive and I would prefer if you didnt do that".

    What its NOT is the right to insist on your point of view being made "law" so to speak.

    I dont find the Paedobear thing particularly funny. I dont think it people should really joke about it, BUT I do think they should be allowed to.

    Its the difference between "can" and "should". An understanding which is sorely lacking in modern Ireland.

    "You *Can* say X.... but imho, you shouldn't".

    DeV.

    ps: We have the Nein 11 forum for this sort of humour too....

    You are wrong im afraid terry on many assumptions. However if you want to become personal about it you, yourself have a reputation of posting threads on boards while drunk, and boasting / insinuating that you are an alcoholic,so perhaps you might forgive me if i too dont take your opinion too seriously.

    You might assume that because your complaint is being received with little interest that we are either all paedophiles, or perhaps you are just being a dick

    If this post of mine is subject to a ban i shall accpet it. However on my time here on boards i dont think ive been insulted quite as much.
    I think most right thinking people would know me better - regardless of jokes or comments in certain forums, however i might have to accept that i may have over estimated you intelligence.

    The arguement you have is one thing, and you are well entitled to hold it. It however stops being valid when you dont use your head and decide for what ever reason to make this a personal vendetta against myself.

    Since i joined i have not received as much as a warning for any of these "jokes", furthermore of all the members that have read them over the years i have yet to receive a single pm or negative remark, as i will assume they were taken at face value as a joke and in context.

    Im disappointed to be honest terry, i like you, but after your last little outburst - no

    I don't spend much time on boards, I've browsed now and then being Irish, as a non involved third party if I may call myself such I'll give my opinion.

    Snyper craves attention, and not having the wherewithal to achieve this through constructive input he attempts to do so by being extreme,

    he will joke about rape and child molestation etc.

    He is the child in the playground who will eat worms and smear himself with dog excrement to amuse his peers, sure we all point our fingers and laugh but we laugh at him not with him. We aren't validating his world view we are just laughing at the clown.

    I am sure that is all there is to it, and no doubt the vast majority will see it as such, however once you associate yourself with a certain viewpoint you can't rid yourself of it, at least not in a very public forum such as this.

    Snyper's services as a child minder if ever advertised here would not find themselves in great demand.

    if you click the blue "Last edited by snyper" bit at the bottom of your post, it should bring you to the previous editions of the post afaik.

    That's very unfair. As he said himself, most of the child molestation jokes regarding Snyper are usually made by other users and he has on many occasions provided constructive input in threads. He has been open about his struggles with mental illness and I know for a fact that he's been willing to offer advice via PM whenever he's asked.

    Carl.Gustav, less of the personal insults please.
    Attack the post, not the poster.

    This thread has a short shelf life if ye cannot stay on topic.

    Yes, because people who are a genuine danger to children are really gonna advertise their tendencies.

    It is a subjective subject really.

    The T'Dog once put up a photo of himself and his god daughter, Heather on the site. Anyone who had that saved could have photo shopped snyper into it for the lulz.

    But would that be funny, as has been suggested in broad terms or would it be sh1tty in context of the op?

    Philip K Dick* once wrote a very good short story on laughing.

    *Could have been someone else

    I dont really find paedobear funny but it certainly doesn't offend me. Imo if you can't joke and pull the piss out of things then they have beaten you. Ridicule them for the sick concepts they are and come down hard on anyone indulges in them.
