Lets have it right now and then close this thread off because it's not the place for it.
Jack has strong beliefs, that's his entitlement, however distasteful they be to anyone other than those who share those same beliefs. But ultimately a sports board is not the forum for politico posturing and hate mongering. The board administrators provide other boards for more "hot" topics, but Jack continued to use the sports board for his aggressive agitation. If a thread saw any sort of England team losing or in a poor position he would jump in to poke fun, which is fine, he hates the English we get it, but the minute England picked up in the same thread he would resort to pro terrorism tacticts - the advocation of killing innocent people. No genuine sports fan wants to see that during a sports discussion on a board provided for such.
There has been no witch hunt, and it certainly wasn't just "3" people, 6 people openly pulled him up about it on the "sports" board - and these from different races and creeds across the world, add the ones who voice concern via personal messages but don't want to be involved in open war on the forum, well you get the point. The Admin looked at his history and saw fit to lock him out of the sports board, it really was that simple, and they had on occasions had to move some of his posts to other boards previously - under various accounts I might add. Some of his postings on "Poppy Day" were atrocious, again that's his right, but if he had posted them on a more "livewire" and "challenging" board then nobody here chatting about sport would have had to even know about them! Simples really.
Most of you know him better than I do, and clearly away from his incessant need to ram his strong beliefs down our throats on the wrong forum, he loves sport and can be fun. That's where someone like Carl (who I like a lot) should be stepping in, telling him to take the inappropriate stuff elsewhere. If his depression is genuine then he needs to taper off the booze and get himself on Sertraline, get help, it's a common problem and help is there - trust me I know. Then he should come back and use the various boards for the relevant topics he wants to post about.
Like A J this is my last discourse on the matter. I got a serious Test Match and Tennis to watch this week.
