I agree. Platforming is a just a way to try and stop discussion
Some long standing posters have been banned in my view unfairly
I'm not in favour of banning anyone. I'm most definitely not on board with the current trend for 'cancelling' and 'no platforming' people. In this case it's probably a troll, but if it were a genuinely nasty person then having access to a chat site with tolerant people is the best treatment available. If you don't like him/her, don't interact with him/her - nobody is forcing you to do so.
Ditto.I actually found him/her quite funny, the ranting last night after a few cans was a little strange though.
Thank you for all the replies I am realitivly inexperienced with the forum so will add to ignore list.
Homophobia has no place in football or in life. Online forum or not.
Nah he tried to be funny. He wasn't funny, but the coventrians just an out and out c**t. Cant be banning people though like some said put him on ignore. I think this place needs brightening up at the mo with no footie chat so just observe and dont get involved with him, but id be lying if i said i didnt find the arguments and some of the reactions mildly entertaining.He reminds me of 'SeeyaGunnerson', or did he become 'Valiant/The Coventrian'?
It’s hard to believe that anyone actually felt genuinely threatened by it.
The freedom of speech argument is a bit bollocks though isn’t it. People can say what they want but this is a private forum and if you allow any old shit regular posters will disappear, the trolls stop as there is nobody to troll and the whole things ends up shut down.
I agree that it is a homophobic name, but if I was gay, I think I'd rather be called that 1000 times than be 'repeatedly kicked in the head'I’ve literally been in a massive fight coming out of rainbows with my gay cousin as he was repeatedly kicked in the head and called a “fucking faggott”. Let me just double check with him to see if that was homophobic or not. Give me a minute.

Gay actually means happy, are you saying your cousin is happy guy? Anything to do with him being in a homosexual bar?I’ve literally been in a massive fight coming out of rainbows with my gay cousin as he was repeatedly kicked in the head and called a “fucking faggott”. Let me just double check with him to see if that was homophobic or not. Give me a minute.
No need to add to ignore mate he’s been banned I believeThank you for all the replies I am realitivly inexperienced with the forum so will add to ignore list.

So it can be homophobic depending on the context then. Thanks.
Or it can just be a insult without any particular context
Oi!I always tell people who've been the subject of online abuse that the perpetrator is usually a 25 stone weirdo who lives at home with his mum and never leaves his bedroom
