He said that immigrants are dirty and a drain on the country. Post is still up, if you care to look, page one recycling thread.

That's a shame to hear, if he's expressed that. I remember the dark days in the 80's when certain sections was like a recruiting ground for the NF. I've supported Leeds since the late 70's, not always easy at times due to my background.

I’ve taken the international break off from MOT. It’s been wonderful and relaxing. Now I come back fully refreshed and read all this.

I’m beginning to wonder if it was worth chewing through the straps to set myself free. I think I’ll just post my first scorer prediction and go back to sleep.

I quote:

"look at the immigrants that come here and treat it like the shithole theyve come from and expect us to clean up after them"

How do you interpret that, then, Hector?

I beg your pardon? Changed the words? It's a direct quote, I've just copied and pasted it!

Denigrate another member of the forum? Is he being portrayed as the victim now, after he's insulted and abused anyone who's picked him up on his racist nonsense.

Are we adding gaslighting to the mod response now?

Then here's what you do, you explain what you meant, apologize and try not to post casually racist posts and generalizations again.

What you don't do, especially as a mod ... is call the person that pulled you up on it a moaning f**king minnie. Do you advocate that last statement?

I was here complaining when Twiggs posted casual racism every other post and was allowed to get away with it as he was a mod.... I hate racism with a passion...

Immigrants that come here and treat it like the shithole they've come from, and expect us (indigenous folk) to clean up after them.

Your interpretation, please?

This argument is now running on 2 threads, maybe the mods need to move it to a thread of its own so people can avoid it if they wish. Thread name ?? - Answers on a postcard please

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition.
