Why is this ass**le still allowed to post here??

[McNeil]

Well Ive seen it all now(sorry..read it all!)

"Rockn Deano"...who exactly is this xenophobic little asswipe??

He is seemingly making anti national comments about whoever he likes..and he thinks he is immune does he??

Below is a copy of the e mail I have just sent to Andrew;





Im not impressed at all with some of the comments from this jerk... "RocknDeano" !!

He seems to have immunity on yr board???

In the thread "More possibilities for Steve Augeri's Long Term replacement" the guy has made insulting comments..please read page 2 of the thread

Ive copied and pasted below:




Who was mean? What did I say so wrong?

Christ, explain it to me. WTF did I say? Oh, I am sorry, Croatia is SO MUCH different than Serbia.

Feel better now?

Actually, scratch that. I couldn't tell the difference between your two nations if you paid me. Who gives a shit about Croatia or Serbia. Hell, Throw in Bosnia and merge and we'll call it a trifecta.

Second comment:


Don't get me started on England. Everyone here knows my deepest feelings for that shithole.

Not good enough my friend that he is still able to post this xenophobic crap on a public board....


kind regards

Neil


Im ashamed that this small minded little pratt is allowed his soap box here... we all should be embarrased that he has been allowed to spout his crap here

I know his views are way out o line with most of the American people.... the English and the Americans have a special relationship.... most of us admire the American people and there freedoms... (ive just read that he may be Canadian?? ..still..same applies)

The guy is quite frankly "off his head" and on a complete power trip here... he should be made to apologise in writing on this forum..or his ass should be right out of here....

Im waiting for some kind of "Inforum" reply here Andrew... so we know this kind of thing will not be tolerated any more

Has the Tasmanian devil got any real teeth??

Andrew.. do the right thing please!

Neil

I'm nearly as new here as you but as I'm here purely because of Rockn'deano I thought I'd reply. He's the guy who had the Escape To Tape blog which brought to the public attention the fact that Journey were using tapes for the lead vocals. Without him I have no doubt that Steve Augeri would still be on stage right now.

He is, of course, loud, rude and quite objectionable as well as being a powerful campaigner. But the world of Journey would be a poorer place without him.

[McNeil]

so..what are you trying to say?? you excuse him?? make it clear please!!... you think it is acceptable behaviour?... and you wld allow him that freedom, that nobody else has, to express his brand of crap here.

Oh..so its ok...because he was instrumental in changing Journey personnel!!.... what the hell has that to do with his comments????


I get the uneasy feeling that this Deano guy has an unhealthy hold on some here...quite disturbing!!

I guess hes pack leader and yr one o the pack??

Get a mind of yr own...you know what I say is true... ok..hes done his bit... not needed anymore is he? Journey has changed..task complete..now please go away!

[L~L~L]

He is allowed to post here just like you are allowed to do so.
For the future may I suggest you use PM's they serve a purpose you know.

[McNeil]

No..... he is allowed to post until the point he is banned from here... which hopefully will be shortly

Maybe you havnt been keeping up on events pal..this is Century 21... shit like he spouts isnt tollerated any more... people can be sacked from the workplace for saying less.. this place is no different..well..we shall see shant we??

yes..I too came here because of the "tapegate" stuff.. but so what??? what differeence does that make..Im here now..n so are you....

If you made those comments..you wld be history here now...or severely flamed... Im just hoping that the reason he hasnt been yet..is because half of America is waking up..or going to bed... and his crap hasnt been read yet..hell..Andrew is prob asleep in his antipodean bed right now!!

Stuff like that cant be tolerated..and no excuse like.."Its only Deano.. he always talks like that" is an insult to the rest of us...

Dont accept it... this is prob tip of the iceberg... whose next ? Italians..coloured black.. yellow ... we are all fair game for this pratt

I will be waiting for an appropriate response

and no...this matter isnt for PM'ing ... Deano brought it out into the open..thats where it is now...too late!!

[*Laura]

McCartney,you need to grow a thick skin.

[McNeil]

McCartney,you need to grow a thick skin.

You need to wake up to the realities of this crap... a thick skin doesnt stop it...it allows it to fester.... and grow

I used to be a firefighter... predominantly a "white" occupation in the UK... in the late eighties we got ourselves the first "black" firefighter... boy did he get some "friendly" abuse .... once or twice I was working with him at his home station... and I was shocked... his "pals" were calling him all sorts of stuff... (no need to mention it here) even saying things like "Ive found a curly black pube in my tea.. must be one o yours Ni**er... he seemed to laugh it off... one of his mates said.."oh hes used to it..hes got a thick skin"
Later that night I got talking to him..on his own... and he let me know how he really felt.... and trust me... he didnt approve of it...he just had no choice..but to live with it..and "pretend" to go along... do dont tell me anything about developing a "thick skin"

respectfully.... Neil

Shit like this starts at the little places like this.... who knows where it ends up??

[Maro]

I do think that Deano was very rude and made some really unapropriate comments but i don't believe his banning from forum would teach him anything... he would just register a new nickname and continue the same with even more dedication... i don't know for others, but i'll just ignore him in future and communicate with rest of people here who have good manners... speaking about his campaigns, i'd say this: get a life, man... there is saying here in Croatia - "those who dig the pit for others fall into it"...

Cop out Maro...after all...you were the guy he insulted !!!

Hell...no support from you... I might as well sit back and let the guy rant on !!

I sense the fear here!!

he comes back... he rants... gets banned again..simple really !!

[The_Noble_Cause]

Oh, grow the fuck up already.
Don't you have anything better to do than to cry and run to mamma?
Andrew is a busy man, he doesn't have time for such petty bullshit.

People like you allow all this to prosper... u should be ashamed man... where you from...not the Deep South by any chance??

Anyway...I will be back to check on all this later..see if anything has changed here... if early indications are anything..it will prob be me thats banned... for voicing my distaste at his remarks!!
Funny ole world isnt it??

[The_Noble_Cause]

People like you allow all this to prosper... u should be ashamed man...

No, you should be ashamed.
A grown man getting someone else to wage battle for him?
Do you have a wife and kids?
If so, I wonder how you face them in the morning...
Knowing that deep down, daddy is really a sissy boy.

where you from...not the Deep South by any chance??

I don't know what you are trying to insinuate. Abitaman is from the south and is a good hearted man.

[joybringer1]

so..what are you trying to say?? you excuse him?? make it clear please!!... you think it is acceptable behaviour?... and you wld allow him that freedom, that nobody else has, to express his brand of crap here.

Sorry Neil but I just can't get excited about Deano's ravings, it's just part of who he is, not to be taken seriously.

I've never been part of a pack or had a leader - I walk alone - look at my photo.

I don't know what you are trying to insinuate. Abitaman is from the south and is a good hearted man.

Oh...woken up have you now??? Now that you had the vaguest sense that someone other than Deano was being Xenophobic....

Glad you associated with the "deep south" cliche straight away... all stereotypes... not indicative of real people at all... said to illustrate how easy it is to "have a go" ..well people...please dont do it!!

Well "Rockn whatever hisface name is" was alittle more direct in his comments...think we should accept it ?

Not a chance.... glad you finally woke up!!

Glad you spotted the "deep south" cliche .. illustrates how easy it is to pigeonhole someone... when it aint neccesarily the case.. learn a lesson here!

[The_Noble_Cause]

Oh...woken up have you now??? Now that you had the vaguest sense that someone other than Deano was being Xenophobic....

Deano's comments are obviously made in jest.
I don't know what backwoods armpit you crawled out of, but wherever it is, they obviously must not have a sense of humor over there.

Not a chance.... glad you finally woke up!!

I didn't see any humor in your "deep south" comments. Just snide insinuation.

[McNeil]

Hey... humour in

"England Is a shithole"

erm..... it must be well hidden then... I musta missed the punchline... get a grip man.... yr making excuses for terrible behaviour.... must make you feel like a mate of his..all cozy like.... make you immune from his diatribe of crap... the weak hiding behind the strong..sorry...the "loud"

aint no humour in deeply offensive racist and Xenophobic comments or insults.. not when the receiver of the comments is offended.... thats the law in this country...dont know about yours! ..and I was offended..and so was Maro.

[The_Noble_Cause]

aint no humour in deeply offensive racist and Xenophobic comments or insults.. period!!

Ok, since you have now openly savaged the South, I suggest that you nominate yourself (along with Deano) for revoking of posting privelidges. That sound fair?
Two rascist peas in a pod.

[McNeil]

hey...you can get offended too...now we are getting somewhere... so you agree that Deano should be banned...well thats in effect what you just said isnt it?? You did say that didnt you... his posting priviledges should be revoked....
interesting to note that now you do recognise his comments as being offensive... what changed yr views...the fact that you are trying to connect me with him?? Make yr mind up here.... does he go or does he stay?? you dont seem to know which!!

You are very mixed up here arent you?? please decide which side of the fence you are on !!!

I hope Deano reads yr post!! Im sure he will be interested to read yr views


""I don't know what you are trying to insinuate. Abitaman is from the south and is a good hearted man."" why you mention this guy... what has he to do with anything here.... yeah hes a great guy!! so what was the point of mentioning him here?? trying to drum up some kinda support???

[*Laura]

Oh stop it already,neilmaclookalike!

This in an Internet Forum,not a real workplace or something!
You are using pompous words like "Xenophobia" and all...What is that all about?

Hey,they say "If you can’t take the heat,get out of the kitchen",you know?

Perhaps you do need more than a thick skin.You also need to learn how to read satire.
Oh,and you definitely need to chill.

What’s hilarious,is that you come here after 100 posts and ask for the banning of a 2 year poster.

TNC,you think this guy has humor after all?

[The_Noble_Cause]

I'm saying you're a hypocritical panty sniffer.
You want Deano to be banned for bigotry, as you simultaneously engage in a seething tirade against the south?
Go slap another Confederate flag bumper sticker on your truck, u pabst blue ribbon swigging redneck.

oh...so ya gotta serve yr time here then???? oh I see.... there is a pecking order.... oh great!!! Deano...mmm...top o the pile with a million posts...says what he wants..... Neil with only a handful....cant say anything...the pic is becoming clearer now

Lol... I thought this place was a lil different.... seems I may have been wrong.... what you say makes it sound exactly like a "parody" of a workplace "last in..first out" ... the older employee.. timeserved gets the priviledges..... newcomer makes the tea.... Jeez.... what can I say.... discrimination runs riot here it seems ....

I am not worthy..I have under 100 postings on the forum erm..actually..just over 100!!

[McNeil]

Im from Liverpool England man.... erm...you "with the programme here"

"seething tirade" haha.. u unreal dude... now thats humour,, n thats funny

my words were" are you from the deep south" ...... a question you didnt answer! if thats a tirade in yr book... you certainly are a strange lil man ??

glad you mentioned Deanos bigotry... nice word.... he will appreciate u bringin that one up..really brings it into focus

[McNeil]

Seems like you got yourself a Noble Cause now man..to defend the undefendable

Good luck

good to see that yr making this into an even bigger issue now..one thats impossible to ignore.... it has to be addressed now

Wake up Andrew!!

[joybringer1]

Neil, I can see your intentions are good but you need to channel your passion for putting the world to rights to where it can do some good and not worry about an Internet forum. Especially one that you only joined 5 minutes ago. You seem as though, when crossed, you can be just as forceful and unpleasant as Deano (and equally as charming on other occasions).

Choose your battles - let this one go.

Mmmmmm... well.... maybe its hotter than hell here in Liverpool right now... gonna top 100 degrees C this afternoon... heat could be firing me up!!

I will take on board what you say.... ok... Ive hammered it a little...apologies for that..... Im waiting on some kind of apology... but I suppose it will be a long wait

No more from me about it.....

Ive had my rant.....

Deano.. I forgive you ..you little shit

by the way.. a JSS logged in a couple mins ago...only for about 10 secs!!!

[*Laura]

Deano...mmm...top o the pile with a million posts...says what he wants..... Neil with only a handful....cant say anything...

You can say anything you want,this is a free speech Forum.Get the idea now?
Don't twist my words,will ya? It's not about the number of posts,it's about the contribution.No Forum would live without longtime,steady posters.

No one is xenophobic here.People are expressing their opinions and feelings,that's all.

Ok,look,I hate Chinese people.They are taking over the markets with their stinking tennis shoes and cheap fiber underwear.Now what?Should I get banned for bashing the Chinese?

Btw,I like mint tea with honey,thanks.Hurry. (that was joke)

[Andrew]

Ok, we've all said our piece.

Deano will behave and he has been advised that inflamotory comments like this are also not appreciated. He is already aware that any persna abuse will see him banned.

I do not expect to see a repat of this from anyone involved.
