Zippos Circus ..

[Axeman]

Er, excuse me, but where did I mention "Roman Gypsies", or more commonly, Roma?

I didn't. I briefly mentioned/commented on Irish Travellers, who aren't descended from any drifting Indo-European diaspora. They're ancestors of the landowning clans left homeless by Cromwell's campaigns in Ireland and the Potato famine. They're white, so I don't see how it's racist for a white man to comment on members of his own race. Would you say the same if you heard a black man commenting on the habits of other black men or women?

I don't like or agree with many other groups within my [Caucasian] race, either. I despise the greedy banking culture in this country that is predominantly monopolised by white men. And I've written very uncomplimentary opinions on them, too. As well as the Catholic Church. Which, apart from being a seemingly sanctioned pedophile ring, is dominated by white men.

So, unless you can prove I commented otherwise, I'll regard you both as manipulative liars.

Oh, and if anyone's interested in judging for themselves, I can provide copies of the deleted post that was contained in the administrator's request/warning via email. Though I can understand any concerns that in doing so I may alter the copy to read in my favour. So, perhaps the administrator could re-post the deleted text. Seeing as I've technically been accused of a crime. But, for some inexplicable reason, the evidence has been removed.

Furthermore, I also included the details to a leading, active charity that oversees and investigates animal welfare and cruelty in the latter half of my post. For those interested, here it is again.

Furthermore and hitherto, I, er.. something..

[Axeman]

So, you've nothing constructive to add, *Bob*? There's a surprise.

[*Bob*]

You edited your post to add "There's a surprise"?

It certainly has made the difference. You've got me. I'm beat.

Axeman I am not going to even waste my time arguing with the bigot that you are. When you use terms like pikie it's a bit rich to start justifying your comments by somehow accusing those that rightly point out the offense you cause.

When you tar a whole group of people as criminals (a very stupid attitude to have to any group of people) you will get accused of bigotry and ingnorant prejudice at the very least...that's what bigotry and ignorance is and that's the reaction most decent people would have to your comments. Just because you have the same colour skin does not make it ok to criminally brand an entire community and refer to them in derogatory terms. You WERE deeply offensive.

Worse still you link your ignorant comments to a business currently in town doing nothing more than entertaining people which is defamatory and an embarassment to this forum...what must they think of the people of ED when people like you write the bs you did.

Now ONCE AGAIN..what part of 'this is a thread about the circus and animal welfare and not gypsies' do you not understand?

Axeman, NOT BigBadWolf remember , has a very similar habit to BBW in that having received a warning from Admin, he feels the need to share it with people

No, you've been politely warned to stop posting offensive material, I will not repost the offensive material as that would be silly.

I think not, somehow!

Do they have ventriloquists? They're my favourites. People bang on about Roger DeCourcey and Keith Harris, but my favourite is Stephen Hawkings. I saw him on telly recently blathering on about the universe and galaxies for hours and I didn't see his lips move once. Genius.

My son and his friend went to the circus at the weekend - they didn't report any cruelty to the animals. They have horses and Shetland ponies. They are kept in stables and are allowed to graze on the grass. They are moved around in a horse transporter. They don't have tigers, monkeys or other exotic animals - just some budgies.

Er, what on earth are you on about, DJ(Gyspy?)Queen?

I never said or even implied that the event was staffed by members of the travelling community!

If you'd actually bothered to read my removed post, which I don't think you did in the first place, you'd have seen that in replying to the suggestion that the event was suspect and ran by gypsies, I said that it was very unlikely seeing as the event has council approval and is ran by a legitimate company.

That aside, judging by your two gross misrepresentations, I suspect that you didn't read the removed post at all. No, after seeing the accusation that the post was racist, without a thought you immediately jumped on the fashionable bandwagon and let others decide for you. How pathetic.

There hasn't been a shred of truth in anything you've accused me of. You're either a victim of your own hasty ignorance, or, as I've continuously maintained, a liar.

[Pearson]

Go on son, you tell her...

[Axeman]

DJKillaQueen has told me that she's reported my previous post because I've called her a liar. Which is a bit rich seeing as she's branded me a racist without a shred of supporting evidence.

Aww. Boo hoo, precious.

[DJKillaQueen]

You WERE bigotted and offensive, and THAT is why admin has warned you and removed your post..and that is the end of it.

Move on.

[Pearson]

Fu*ck me... I thought we had freedom of speech or something like that?

I can't stand all this repping and censorship.

Some folk need to 'man-up'

[Axeman]

And you're a snitch.

[SeanMacGabhann]

BigBadWolf is definitely huffing and puffing today

time to put some kindling under the cauldron

[DJKillaQueen]

He also does not understand the definition of race or racism as well.

I think you're discriminating his human rights Sean.

[SeanMacGabhann]

he's also well versed with martyrdom

[DJKillaQueen]

His lunch break must be over ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

A little reminder below about freedom of speech and why SOME people get banned
