You'll not likely reply but i agree fully re your second point.

Re the first. I'd know his name if I'd not played golf with him as I'd seen it mentioned on here. As I'd also seen him make mention of his thoughts on "the great unwashed". In his later posts he said nothing else that suggested racism. He may think little of faux protesters. But he's said nothing derogatory to race. But feel free to enjoy the moral high ground you've taken for yourself.

Fair enough. I suppose it must be coincidence that his most recent posts are all derogatory to BAME people (x3) straight after the comments I called out when maybe he might have been a bit more considered. ??‍♂️ Whether he admits it or not, for whatever he reason it is my opinion he has a problem with people from a BAME background.

All surprisingly unchallenged by mods who seem more keen to ensure threads are 'on track' rather than content of posters.

I get why people wish to jump to defence of those they know. It's the fear of guilt by association. It's also a lot tougher to call out unsavoury behaviour if the person is humanised (i.e. you know them) , hence my comment around first naming, as whether consciously or not that was why you included his name. From your posts I've read it's clear your values are significantly different ??

If there is a post that you think breaks the forum rules or is distasteful , please use the report feature so we can take a look at it.

It is impossible for the mods to look at every post, so we rely on members to report stuff.

Consequently if nobody bothers to report anything, we assume that everyone is ok with it.

So rather than criticising the mods , feel free to help us out.

As for “back on track”, it’s part of what we do, 10 plus posts on the BLM thread discussing punctuation is off track
 
Most of the protesters won’t even know what they’re protesting for.
Just something for them to post on FB.
“Look at me everybody,I’m a good person”
 
Really? I would have thought BLM was an incredibly easy cause to understand.
It’s all OTT,triggered by something that happened on the other side of the world.
How many multi millionaire black celebrities are coming out saying that black people don’t get the same chances?

It's great that black people can have a successful career in music or football (unless they want to manage of course), but that's hardly proof that normal run of the mill black folk don't suffer discrimination, is it?

I’m not saying they don’t suffer discrimination,I don’t think it’s as bad in this country as it being made out.
The protesters are all for BLM,does it not matter that thousands more people could die due to Covid because of them?
 
I see the press today refer to BLM demonstrators as protestors, activists and supporters.

Opposition supporters are hooligans and thugs.

Encouraging divisions like this is not going to help.
