Just wondering, if like me, any of you wonder if its time for The Fishy to be split into two rooms ? As a result of the latest Racist/Homophobic thread to have now stretched to 24 pages of mind numbing dullness maybe we could make the following alterations.
Room 1/ Only available to self loathing liberals in order that they could discuss today's hot topics such as, should we take the knee ? Who said what to who and who was offended by it, Who's come out as a Gambian Tree Frog, Who is today self identifying as a Bi-sexual biscuit barrel etc etc, you get my drift. This room could be a bit like Twitter on steroids !
Room 2/ Only available to football fans looking to discuss the daily/weekly events at Blundell Park. A safe space where you are free to enjoy light hearted banter with other football fans without the threat of being cancelled by someone.
Please let me know your thoughts.
If you are unsure of your room, I'm happy to read your previous posts and allocate a room to you.
No need to thank me, ;)

Or the moderators could just kick more stuff like that to non-football once it goes off subject

Typical of a non PC twit.
Surely it should be split into 47.3 rooms. .
1 for each gender đ

We exist to be a place where every Mariner belongs.
Belonging gives identity and meaning to our lives. It defines who we are, and offers us a sense of place, purpose and comfort.
We'll never lose sight of what the 'C' stands for in GTFC. We'll always appreciate what a club should be, and what it has the power to do.
We'll create companionships, friendships and relationships that have the potential to last a lifetime.
We recognise the differences in all of us - but as a football family, our roots will always remain as one.
We'll create a place where people feel accepted and connected, wherever they are in the world.
Every Mariner will always have us to call 'home'.
Absolutely delighted that the club are no longer entertaining the bigots and telling them in no uncertain terms that they are not welcome.

24 mind numbing pages, yet you think the best way to solve this problem is to create another thread on the subject? Why? So we can see how hilarious and brave you are. I canât wait.
Room 1/ Only available to self loathing liberals in order that they could discuss today's hot topics such as, should we take the knee ?

Ah there we are ⌠people who donât agree with your views are âself loathing liberalsâ the old trope that theyâre looking to be offended by anything. Somewhat ironic when youâre clearly offended by their offence and have created this thread in order to offend those who have offended you by being offended by something you think they shouldnât be offended by. Itâs a never ending circle of people getting offended by people here. But not you, you donât get offended. Thatâs for snowflakes isnât it?
For clarity you donât have to be a self loathing liberal to understand that discrimination, be it because of race, sexual orientation, gender or (hilariously) if someone wants to be a Gambian tree frog is wrong and it will always be wrong.
Room 2/ Only available to football fans looking to discuss the daily/weekly events at Blundell Park. A safe space where you are free to enjoy light hearted banter with other football fans without the threat of being cancelled by someone.
Yes a room where you can spout racist and homophobic views disguised as âlight hearted banterâ That sounds like a fun place for everyone doesnât it? Expressing these views isnât banter itâs hate speech and in some cases itâs illegal. Look, if youâre that much of a dinosaur that you hold those views thatâs up to you. Me, or anyone else on the internet or anyone else wonât get you to change them. But, youâve been told by the law and by the club that you canât express them. It isnât cancelling you itâs just being part of a civilised and inclusive society.
Please let me know your thoughts.
I just have

allocating someone a âroomâ for their views so you donât see them sounds a little like cancel culture to me, I thought you were against that?

Complains about inflammatory non football threads. Starts with a derogatory, devisive comment and therefore start another inflammatory non football thread. I completely agree with keeping politics off the football thread but its difficult to that when people are saying stupid things at the match.

High praise! Thanks. I probably feel as strongly about this issue as the original poster so had to counter the argument.

Hmm. Thereâs an irony here but I canât be arsed to go into it. Tell you what - if you think a separate room is needed where you can just make an unopposed decree on what social norms and principles should be applied, you go off and start one. I think the rest of us can be kind and respectful and tolerant of each other whilst all manner of things are discussed, no legislation or policing or threats or segregation, insults or booing required.

Iâm confused.
If I was as easily offended as you. If I had pre back-pass rule views on race, homosexuality and similar topics. If I was in denial that problems still exist in respect of these issues.
I would probably look at the thread title. See it clearly marked as something thatâs not going to be my bag. Then think, maybe I wonât hypertension my way through all 24 pages of that âmind numbing dullnessâ.
For instance, when Rob sets up your special little banter bazaar - Aswadâs Corner (you can ask Karen Stevens to mod it for you) - and you start a thread called, âBring Back Apartheid To Rhodesiaâ, Iâd like to think I wouldnât click on it and then start a million further threads moaning about it.

I only clicked on this thread because I thought Hurst had signed a new goalkeeper, Robbie Time.
You wonât have Tommy Robinsonâd Saturdayâs thread in the mistaken belief we had loaned a new striking duo; Hugo Lower-Smith and Gary Racism-Homophobic.

You need to give yourself a bit of a shake up if you believe rhis. Perhaps you have an inferiority complex, perhaps you do not understand how others might find nameâs derogatory, perhaps you really and honestly think that? You are lucky to have been born in a first world country where unions and others have fought against the system to make sure you have decent healthcare, decent holidays a welfare state that will look after you if you are disabled or find yourself out of work. No one is going to jail you however much nonsense you spout, if you are frightened of losing the right to be racist, homophobic and sexist I pity you

I donât believe this. I believe the opposite of what I wrote. I thought that was obvious from my views posted elsewhere in the thread.
Itâs from a bit of the leftie-liberialâs favourite comedian (and therefore mine) Stuart Lee.
Itâs brilliant (IMO)
