And you know what I'm absolutely fine with that.

I don't get what the arguing is all about. We all agree racism is shite in all its forms right? There ya go. Job done
Yup. This isn't about racism mate. Guido just proved that once and for all. He literally just admitted as much.
ItS jUSt fOoTiE bAnTz mATe!
You tend to use one instance to summarise large issues, you used a communist on twitter to prove taking a knee was Marxist and now an argument with a poster that this was not about racists.
It's either dishonest or very simple.
It's about character and respect.
If you want to post in here and have your posts treated seriously you can't behave the way you do and get away with it. By that, I mean making baseless accusations about people fabricating what they are saying.
I'm not in this thread to win, lose or draw an argument. I'm here because I am against racism in all of its forms, my posts reflect this. The only battle I will have is with someone being racist and in your case (or with anyone else for the matter) someone who makes it personal. It was your choice to accuse me of lying, this is the bed that you've made, I'm motivated to prove that you were wrong, I at least deserve the opportunity to do that and yes by doing so I've shone a light on who you are. It's up to others to form their own opinion of you after that.
No. But it's interesting that I made the point to another poster and it was proved right not long after. I wouldn't say everyone is like that, but it seems common enough on here to paint such a broad stroke.
Just because the FA says this or that about taking the knee, that doesn't mean everyone else has to go along with it.
EDIT: Oh and it was two people. Airfixx too, not just Guido. Just to be accurate.

By telling people to fuck off who don't agree with you? Respect, not unlike trust, is earned my friend.
I somehow doubt that posting the video will make any real difference.
I agree with you there mate, if you mean will make no difference to him, I'm in no doubt it won't. But it will make a difference to me, as said as that might be.
If you don't understand the quote then i can't really help you.
.....i myself think you're genuine if over the top with your views, but a noob to the forum or indeed the thread, may think you're over the top, i.e the Shakespeare quote...No. He'd be preaching to the choir anyway. Fighting against racism should be his actual intention, not exposing me calling him out as a potential bullshitter. That's kinda pathetic and selfabsorbed.
I've been called a liar myself, and for several reasons. I could prove it all true with simple photos which all the whatsapp boys have seen so they know the truth, but for what? It's beneath me. I don't need that level of one upmanship which is why i never make anything completely personal by bringing up people familes etc. And talking about people still living with their grandparents as a purile generic putdown doesn't count i'm afraid. I never cross that line. Ever.
Sometimes this forum reads like the plot of a Highlander film.
The second one. We're aliens, from space! Explains the Scottish Spanish accent of Connery, i guess.
I saw the photo that was online mate.
