Honestly I am not bothered by the title thread. Is Poolman
racist for posting that? I think not. Is it racist (the title)? I
also don't really think so and as said I'm not offended by it. But
I think it was stupid to label it as such and can easily be
construed wrongly or bring unwanted attention.
But what I'm offended is the lack of respect and double
standards shown. Mods can post such things, use such strong words,
no delete, People post something small and point out their errors,
that 1 delete or edit. This shows a total lack of respect for
people's views, only for your own and your friends, which should
not be the case for a public forum.
Make wild statements and rush to judgment, condemn the police
and judiciary but dont know how the Law works, that one can? Isn't
it childish? Made without reason or logic. Things you don't know
don't act smart and accept criticism which is offered
constructively. Maybe taxi driving techniques I lose to you, but
Law, while I am not an expert, I can safely say I know how things
work, not all but certain cases.
Don't give false advice based on your own understanding which
has no basis except on hearsay and what you read in the papers.
Want to comment on such things and give advise, at least make it a
point to know how it works, not jump to your own conslusion and
claim it to be facts.
As I said I dont think it was racist and didnt offend me, but I
can see how this will offend some others (other Indians) or how it
will attract the wrong kind attention for the forum.
Really need to use vulgar language to highlight your point? How
does it help your friend's case? Instead of helping it can attract
the wrong attention as I said, here got 1 former MP or maybe some
public read it and highlight to some big shot. For waht you want
stir the hornets nest.
This is the real stir, not what RBs, me or others post. This is
the kind of stupid posting that makes everyone think taxi drivers
all 1 kind, racist, rude and yaya papaya. Post like this helps BJ?
I don't think so.
Will ISD bother, I doubt so, but more importantly things like
this may get LTA irritated and 1 fine day, you may suddenly find
yourself in their radar. They catch you alone never mind, you can
answer for your actions, but if they target LV or some others esp
your own friends?
Wanna help this is not the way. Put the forum in a bad light. In
1 thread your actions was actually worse than some of the posts
that were deleted or edited.
Practise what you preach, treat and respect others comments,
people only criticise your actions in the forum not on you
personally. You are doing a good job helping others but think
before you post or use your moderator powers. It has to be fair and
seen to be fair.
2 wrongs can never make a right. What that fucker did was wrong
but how you went about it was also wrong and not helpful or
beneficial, either to the victim and to the forum as a whole.
