To be fair Foureyes mate, I think you've overreacted a fair bit there.
Roger being a fucktard is a given, even so I don't think what he said is that bad.

His comment was meant as an insult with racial undertones. I didn't get too pissed off by it initially as you can see by my first response to him HC. But the dumb fuk kept on pushing after I had asked him not to. That's what really wound me up. If you made a wise crack in jest at a new poster on the site and they politely mentioned the fact that they took offence and explained why, would you persist? I wouldn't. And I would also apologise for causing any unintentional offence. It's not just the phrase he used, it was the intent and the fact that he persisted. It must be some form of OCD he has.

In fairness, only he knows his intent. Your interpreting his intent and I can see why. This whole episode shows why you shouldn't judge people by your own standards, because rarely will they live up to them.

Nah. If you read his long winded post you can see what his intent was. It's pretty clear mate.

Hmmm, I can see why you're offended as it seemed aimed at you personally. Stereotyped? Probably. Racist? Well I can see why people find it offensive, but I personally would have to be feeling very sensitive to find that racist (sorry Foureyes, this doesn't of course mean you're wrong).
Hell what do I know as a white man I can't be racially abused!

There's a thin blurry line between stereotype and racist remarks. I'm not saying i'm suffering racial discrimination at the hands of Rog, he's an equally large fukwit with everyone, but he's taking the piss out of my race.
I know it's not even on the same level, but why do people jump up in arms when black football players get racially abused with monkey chants? I don't like people implying i'm an onion bhajee muncher.
