Well sir, allow me the attempt at least to try and provide a satisfactory answer.
No. I am absolutely and vehemently against all forms of expression that causes any offense or harm against and toward anyone's person, whether it be true or not, nor do I support any speech designed to inflame resentment of another's person's self or their loved ones living ...[text shortened]... way he wants it to be.
Go with God Seitse.
This is so weird. I feel like saying amen. 😉
.... and farting on it. 😀

Take it up with your mate Joe. 'Hutspah' was his word, not mine.
😉
btw, I have a mate, and she's female. I call her my wife. Her name is Vicki. I know, I know, 'mate' is a British idiom. 😉
Truth is I don't even know Seitse. Not so much.

The problem is respect. This medium can only facilitate so much. We must foster a culture of dialog that shows both empathy and consideration for the other instead of criticizing a person's character just because we have differing opinions of beliefs if we ever expect to rise above a brute mentality.
I ain't perfect. Seitse isn't perfect. You aren't perfect. I've been trying my damnedest all these years to communicate effectively with anybody willing to discuss a topic or subject with me, but to no avail. Virtually. Instead I get called names like misanthropic.
It's the same old sh t everyday. It's no wonder Seitse is kicking so much ass.
No one seems interested in being civil. It's no wonder GB dropped out. He was one of the finest contributors to these forums, but he got his chops busted every time he said anything positive and good.
That's the nature of this forum. Dog eat dog. Evolutionary philosophy of the survival of the meanest is the rule. Don't discuss the issue, just lambast anyone that holds to a belief different from yours.
Everyone here is guilty. Including me. Suck it up.
That's my fit for the day. Goodnight everyone. See you tomorrow. 😉

In here, on these forums, how can we possibly be anything more than the words we write and the concepts, claims and sentiments they convey?
Respect! Where was the respect for gb from seitse when he was repeatedly revoltingly abusing him in order to "get him to shut up". Talking about sexually abusing corpses, vomiting in skulls etc. When was the "fostering of empathy"? And you. You personally insulting people you don't like - using the bible to land petty blows, criticisms of character of people with different opinions from you. Where is your respect?
So nobody is perfect. What's this philosophy for 5 year olds?
You got called a misanthrope did you? Well boo-hoo. It's hardly the most devastating piece of character assassination one is likely to see on the Internet is it. My advice to you is if you can't stand the heat, don't put a Bunsen burner down your trousers.
If you are bored with the content of these threads I suggest you either start some new ones incorporating a selection of your own personal interests, rather than promoting the forum equivalent of taking a poo in one's hand, smearing it on the walls and asking everyone to comment.
GB is indeed a big cog in the forum machine, but I would estimate that at least 50% of the regulars here would not only disagree with your assessment of the quality of his contributions, but actually call him out as being a pompous blowhard who resorts to using copy/paste overkill and avoiding any pertinent on topic questions.
I wholeheartedly support your right to express your opinon and I also support your right to choose to be unprincipled, indiscriminately partisan and a bit snide. Really, I do. But I also withhold the right to call you on when I see it.
There is nothing to suck up.
Enjoy your sleep.

I have not read this thread so I apologize if what I'm posting has already been mentioned
I'm assuming you want Seitse banned for his postings and yet you lead a clan called the free speech clan
what gives?

I have nothing else to say in this matter.
