Yotatech forum racist warning (banned)

[blackpoolsparks]

I dont know how I've managed to miss this post for so long.
Not really sure how the porridge thing relates to Scotsmen, but I'm sure one of my friends north of the border will explain it to me next weekend.

OK
To brief you on American sentiments

Jap is a derogatory term in the U.S.
But so is saying"shut up" to someone, I say it here all the time, but you wouldn't tell it to someone you liked in the states.

Po-ta-toe

Get off of here, the rain has stopped get your arse out and get Andys ecu. Then when that don't work get the spill control out.

I'm going out to finish welding this climbing frame.

As usual we are running out of days. Drum only 96hr away

Raining here bro, I'm off to nick bits in the morning.

As for the original thread....well.......rules is rules. LOL

Fair comments. My apologies for any offence caused. None was intended and I honestly didn't expect the reaction that I got. I was wrong to post what I did. I do hope that anyone who was offended accepts my unreserved apology.

Apology accepted, not that I was that offended mind, been called much worse.

If this thread proves only one thing, it is, people are easily offended, it doesnt take much. Its difficult to judge intent in this medium sometimes, but nothing in the thread offended me, as I dont believe there was intent. I might be offended at someone calling me a sweaty or a porridge wog if I thought that their intent was to offend, although Im not sure. I guess I dont offend as easily as some. I tend to think that theres worse happening in the world than a bit of silly name calling to get too excited about it.

Fair do's. TBH, I think it's probably better that I keep a lower profile (at least for the time being) lest I make a t1t of myself again...

I am almost certain that's a given

When you are offended nothing actually happens, a punch in the face on the other hand.

Most on here are to thick skinned to take offence mate they are more likely to take the ####

Just like everywhere there are good and bad, some real nice helpfull american members on the automodeling site, guess like me they are long in the tooth and see the futility of copeing the hump over some pointless b0lloks,

as for "Scots" well i cant comment, dont know any (apart from John Rebus)

[dieselboy]

Here we go. For what it's worth, I'd saying calling a person a Jap is offensive, calling something Jap isn't. But that's me.

I did think that using 'Scot' as term for, well, a Scot was probably a bit meaningless, but I would have gone for 'Jock' if I was trying to use a nickname. I've never heard the term 'porridge wog' but I'd avoid it if I was trying to be friendly....

As for Dieselboy, I think this mod on Yotatech has gone in off the deep end a little bit, but I've come across plenty of mods like that. Rules are rules, no matter how retarded and inconsistently applied, and there's no point arguing with them or you just get banned....

You're not kidding! And at least we all agree on something that the initial post / topic was that the moderator had lost the plot!
I didn't really want to have a slagging discovery. I don't even know what a porridge whatsit is! All I know is that I haven't inherited any Scottish tastebuds from my mothers side - I hate the stuff. Nan has plenty of water and salt with hers!

LOL no mate. I like it too.!
