I've lost count the amount of times I've been labelled a racist, xenophobe or bigot, not always directly but we have some clever people who throw veiled insults thinking certain people lack the intelligence to decipher exactly what they allude to.
I find it extremely laughable, if only these people actually knew me, my family, and my friends and personal experiences.

Here's a little tip: if you don't make racist, xenophobic or bigoted remarks, you tend not to get labeled as such. |

1) Why are we spending one billion pounds on one tube station in London (Tottenham Court Road -look it up) as part of the Crossrail contract. And how does that benefit the 70 precent of the people in the UK who don't visit London more than once a year?
2) Why are four of the five busiest airports in the UK in the South East, and why is that idiot Boris trying to get agreement to build another airport in the Thames Estuary?
3) There is a world outside the South East. Airports where people live might be a start. Recognise it.'"
The major airports [iare[/i where most people live. And where most visitors to the UK want to go. Airport construction generally follows traffic, not [ivice versa[/i. |

If you can confuse "character assassination" with having your argument ripped to shreds, then I suggest this may not be the place for you |

|  Really? It's the usual suspects throwing the same mud at different discussions knowing that eventually it'll stick, nothing to do with ripping anything to shreds.
Does having an Indian ex girlfriend, your best friend being of a different colour and ethnicity and being married to a Polish Jew make me, a bigot, xenophobe or racist? |

None of which excuse making bigoted, xenophobic or racist remarks. If you think they should, then you're even more simple than I first thought |

No.
Does having views to the left of yours make someone necessarily Spartist? |

No, that comment wasn't aimed at all the people left side of centre. |

You're obviously an intelligent person why not add 'mature' to your CV too?
If you think you're right and think you have the moral and intellectual high ground on any subject why do you feel the need to insult any and every poster who disagrees with you?
My example was a small example simply because i'm on my mobile, it takes forever to type out. I'm not a racist, i've never been a racist and to be labelled one is frankly very insulting, religion in my opinion is a silly superstition YET i've no issue with other people wasting their Friday/Saturday/Sunday praying to the magic man, it's their choice.

Frankly I couldn't give a toss what you think of my opinion. You was the one who first started bleating about being unfairly labeled a racist, xenophobe or bigot. I simply pointed out that I know of no one on this forum who has been labeled a racist, xenophobe or bigot by not posting comments that could be construed as racist, xenophobic or bigoted.
Now if you'd care to return to discussing the thread, instead of whining about some ill-conceived victimisation, I'm sure everyone else would appreciate it |

What a load of rubbish - on here virtually anyone who suggets non white British people are less than totally honest is accused by the likes of you being a racist - even if the facts support the post.
Perhaps you need to get off your high horse and out of your Gieves & Hawkes and understand you are not the arbitor of opinion. No one bleats more than you if anyone has the temerity to expose the weaknesses in your arguments.
Like Mintball you are protected and can post with impunity - "More equal than most" odd on board run by supposed socialists!!

If you have a legitimate complaint about moderation, you know the procedure.
Meanwhile, defending yourself against accusations of racism via a racist generalisation is just dumb. And sailing very close to the AUP.
