Just calm yourself down old rodders, let's put things into perspective on here, The way he's being condemned on here you would think he was the kind of psycho hiding down a passageway with a balaclava on his head and a knife in his hand waiting for her.
Having read the evidence I strongly believe he is innocent and I believe he will eventually be found not guilty, I hope you will be man enough to come on here and apologise when this will happen.


What on earth would I have to apologise for?

The perspective surely is that with Evans we are not at the situation where he is suffering trial by media-before his actual trial. He has been found guilty under the world renowned British justice system of a particularly nasty crime against the person. The condemnation comes for that reason.  Am I right in thinking that he has already appealed once and that was overturned? I haven't read the evidence because my opinion on the case holds no water at all. The jury listened to the evidence including the evidence of the victim and their view was that he was guilty and, as far as the law is concerned that is all that matters. I strongly suspect that if he is eventually found innocent it will almost certainly be due to new evidence coming to light. Presumably at that point his legal team may have some apologising to do....

" The way he's being condemned on here you would think he was the kind of psycho hiding down a passageway with a balaclava on his head and a knife in his hand waiting for her."

That's 2 things started by the same poster within two days. Is there any follow-up to this? Personally despite finding the poster a horrible individual, I would let it stand - not one for censoring things, I have a huge amount of optimism in that the rest of the forum can prove that said poster's statements are bigoted and without any factual basis. But to simply remove the posts and pretend nothing has happened? Are you therefore:

1. Not tolerating discriminatory posts and removing those users who, like Gim74 persist in posts like these?
or
2. Trying to avoid any "out of acceptability" upset there is on The Fishy. Which to me sounds disingenuous, like you care about some legal reprecusions etc. rather than the morality of the horrendous excrement this individual is posting?

Because for me you either choose one or the other. Either you don't tolerate discriminatory posts, and warn the users that persisit, or you leave the Fishy crowd to dress them down and allow the majority to post a bunch of easily constructed arguments as to why the numptee's hate filled excrement is without reason or sense.

Personally I'm well on the side of free speech. Let em post and let those that disagree show exactly why, and difuse thier arguments. But it's all a bit weird what's happening now, if you're going to continually delete posts in a stand against racism etc. you need to reaffirm in it a forum consititution and ban the persistant offenders.

What now? We repeat every time the geezer posts? Let him post. He's a racist, rape-defending vile individual. But we can also deal with that ourselves, and I've enough faith that 99% of posters on here see what he is without the need for removed posts.

The individual in question can't post any more
