Irish mercenaries, unionist coat trailers and the Bard of Dunclug

not the same thing

So what you are saying is that views like those held by Armstrong are tolerated on OWC but are banned here. Think that answers your question Chris, though being a patron on OWC and being able to read the hidden sections, you'd be aware of that anyway.

Aye, but some of his views on GAA and its fans are pretty reprehensible.

[nifan]

No I am saying they may agree with it.
You could have whatever view you like about whatever you want donagh and the mods of this site can do nothing about it. They can only act on your comments.

Im not aware of any one on OWC suggesting posters on here should be shot.

Agreed and I argued with him in the past about this.
Doesnt make his view average, or even average of mods there.

Was only giving one example, who may not be mainstream average, but their are alot on OWC who have a dislike bordering on hatred of all things GAA and its supporters.

Is this about Neil Armstrong the spaceman or Neil Armstrong the astronaut

Could exactly the same thing not be said of a lot of supporters on here and their views about the IFA and Northern Ireland supporters.

This IS Northern Ireland - a lot of people have "dislike bordering on hate" for things they perceive to be traits or, yes, even pasttimes exclusviely for "themmuns".

Let's try and stick to the topic lads instead of getting embroiled in the 'whataboutary'.

[nifan]

Is suggesting the thoughts of the average OWCer not whataboutary?

I'm very bad and will try to quell my curiosity in future.

Well I don't think it was "whataboutary", just that it was a (IMO valid) question to consider that hate/distrust/dislike is a two-way street and is not exclusively the domain of one section of society.

But, as NIfan points out, it was you who took the subject off track in order to engage in petty points-scoring as if 'one of themmuns said it so all of themmuns think it'.

Straw poll time then owcers.

1. Do you, like the bard of dunclug (or whoever hacked into his account), think the famine song is acceptable?

Yes / No.

Next question to follow when this thread threatens to dip off page 1.

Why are you asking "owcers" that question?  The Bard, AFAIK, is not/has not been a member of OWC and, even if he was, this kind of stereotype that you seem intent on promoting (or at least implying) that themmuns're all the same is the very reason that people like the Bard (alledgedly) hold views like they do.

Very dodgy logic there. Just because someone presumes you hold one set of views is no justification for you in fact actually holding those beliefs.
