Post A Follow Up Discussion Page
Posted by Joe Clemence on 9th December 2000
To Stephen, I take your point, but I think there are a couple of things to be said in explanation.
Firstly, posts which contain no political arguments can occasionally be worth showing, if they are humourous, or if the abuse they contain shows up the mentality of the poster, particularly in the case of far-right posters who often come to this page with an attitude of intellectual superiority.
Secondly, Revolvers posts are not the only ones on this topic that have been lacking in serious political content. There have been several such contributions from sections of the left as well, which have enabled Revolver to keep posting on here in response to these while ignoring the more serious arguments being set out against the NF. RA has not so far had a policy of moderating posts from the left, and there is little point in allowing one side of an argument to post abuse without allowing the other side to respond.
However, its reached the point where the 'debate', such as it is, is not serving any useful purpose anymore and therefore ALL posts on this subject are now being moderated more stringently in favour of those who have serious points to make or questions to ask.
