    Yes, because 'Godwinning' is some sort of new 'first commandment' of the internet, rather than a catchy joke someone made some years back...if you can't address his point, you'd be better off ignoring it and hoping we don't notice.

    It wasn't a lame post though, was it? It made the point that people routinely say bad things about people they don't personally know, but know about from news sources and history books. I don't think Hitler being chosen as the example rather than - say - Saddam Hussein invalidates the point, does it?

    This Godwin thing is very tiresome at this stage.

    Do you need to have difference between what we know about hitler and what we know about this guy pointed out to you?

    Really, do you need that?

    Ah come off it, how do you know he was doing it? apart from news articles? His family and friends are now going through a very tough time and dont need to be reading all this blood thirsty crap about him, He's dead and not coming back, its tragic and I wouldnt wish it on anyone.

    Ah come off what? The truth? just so you can pretend he was a good man.

    He was up on a charge of "demanding money with menaces from a Dublin publican in the north inner city" and had also served time for possession of a fire arm in a separate case. Those are the facts.

    He was a thug, he was a criminal, his death does not lessen Irish society in anyway. Yes he is not coming back and Irish society will be glad of that. We need less and less (hopefully, none) of his kind. It's not blood thirsty to say that.

    His family knew what kind of man he was, anything they read on here is not news to them.

    Should we lock all threads that might affect someone somewhere at sometime? On the condolences thread in feedback it was brought up about what should be done when Margaret Thatcher dies. Should we stop anyone from saying anything bad about her in case a family member reads it?

    I remember there being a thread speculating about the death of Thatcher, saying that she was on the way out etc. It was closed because of the insensitivity and abuse shown in it.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056262018&page=8

    Are you trying to say that when that woman does pop her clogs, that people will be allowed to post vitriolic claptrap just for the sake of it? Will people be excused from suggesting that her family deserves to see her die because of the stuff she done throughout her life? I doubt very much that will be the case, and hope it isn't. I would go so far as to assume that many of the people posting in this thread will be vocally opposed to senseless abuse of Thatcher when she dies. We'll see...

    Harsh. With all of the talk and reports there is no mention of his family being involved in crime and undoubtedly they are distraught at this time.

    No mention of his family involved in crime??

    Isn't this one of the "notorious Ryan brothers" who run the RIRA in Dublin?


    The pictures on the front of some of the tabloids yesterday were pretty full on though.

    For the most part, yes, they will be allowed. If it's just a case of excessive abuse for no reason, then people will be held to account. And if it goes overboard, then it'll be shut down.

    But have a read through that thread and you'll notice that there's a distinct difference between that and this, namely that people were saying truly insane things there, where as for the most part in this thread, people are showing no sympathy.

    You can show a hatred for someone without going overboard, as they clearly did in that thread.

    But to be honest, this is not the place for this. It's dragging the thread off-topic. If you want to bring up the subject in feedback then there's the possibility that the site can legislate for it.

    so this rule only applies in cases whereby the victim was not a criminal themselves... interesting.

    There's a big difference between advocating criminality and saying "I'm not terribly sad that he's dead". No?

    hey im not supportive of the way he lived his life or anything he may have done in his lifetime but there are people here saying things like
    +1 on the good riddance. As long as all the scum are only killing each other, you won't find me objecting.

    and
    Leave the animals to wipe themselves out. Happy days.

    and that's hardly condemning murder. infact there are some very naive people here if they believe what they say. did the deaths of hundreds of drug dealers/criminals over the years do anything to deter people from becoming involved in crime or just lead to an ever increasing vicious circle.

    Right so, then im perplexed as to why you are questioning various sources, (yes including media sources) that have quite blatantly said that he was a member of an illegal terrorist organisation and additionally to that had heavy involvement in extortion of both illegal activities and legitimate enterprise.

    Also there is involvement in other illegal activities including so called tiger kidnapping and cash in transit theft.


    Well ?

    Alan Ryan was going about Dublin since he got out of prison taken money of criminals the more men he got with him the more criminals he went to for money. the criminal's got sick of Alan Ryan and his Real I.R.A. gang and set up the C.A.F. aka Criminal Action Force and start to shoot people over two years ago they have shot, and killed a number of people and fear no-body there was a campaign by Garda and Republican gang members to say the C.A.F. did not exist. but cold hard facts people choose to ignore.

    That other poster wrote the exact same thing not more than a week ago,Anyway not my business. So in your opinion will this escalate or be the end of it for a while,And why didn't the criminals kill the other chap why just AR,Could it not be inter republican feuding as he crossed a lot of his fellow people to.

    Funny all da Northsoiders frantically setting up accounts to air their views.

    The guy seemed to have a pretty powerful position at a relatively young age. Respect for that.

    Don't understand why they executed him so quickly. Scumbags here need to learn from the Mexicans and inflict a slow and painful death over the course of a few days. That will send out a message at least.
