Thanks Less, nothing has happened to the moderators we are always here. You are correct in saying “ at one stage such drivel as this thread would be jumped on and removed” but these days we tend to leave such drival-ish threads As Is.. until we receive reports and explanations as to why the thread/post should be removed, otherwise as has happened in the past we get more complaints from members asking, "why has that thread been deleted???" even though the thread was drivel and if I remember correctly you were usually one of the first to complain about them being removed.
Anyways.. welcome back.

All of you please, please, take a look at what is being discussed here and bow your heads in shame.
accyweb was created to bring people together not drive a knife between your neighbours ribs!
If you feel you're hatred needs to be exposed then please find somewhere else, that is not what this site is for.
This site is for expats and locals to share what they have in common not be driven apart.
If Christians, Muslims, Jews, Mormons, etc, can't live together anywhere else let's group together and in one voice say accyweb is for those of us that do want to make a difference, this is our town our little piece of England we want it to work not be pulled apart by such a stupid thread that just seems to feed the hatred and petty Prejudice of small minded people.
I have never been to Alton Towers It's not my scene if someone else is prepared to pay a stupidly expensive price to hire it for a day allow them that, it's their choice.
How about just getting on with your own life, making it fit in with others without causing any harm or inconvenience to someone that may one day given the chance you could call 'my friend'?

Re: Alton Towers : MUSLIMS ONLY
I personally find this thread offensive. However I don't want it deleted or the person who started it banned. I was able, along with a majority of others, to offer an alternate views to that of the person that started it.
As long as I've been a member we've always had serious as well as fun discussions, remember Tealeaf's 'Sodomoy and the Lash'?
Unless of course you are talking about the halcyon, golden, 'old days' which older members refer to fondly...and before I joined. The two being connected, I remember being pointed out to me at the end of one meet!

You are talking about Accy or are you being sarcastic?

Len you have been here as long if not longer than I have, there is drivel and there is drivel, so far as the drivel I used to complain about being removed it could be given a gold star by the primary school teacher, but this muck shouldn't even be spread on a field, it does nothing but kill the whole crop, yes I was back in those heady days of a decent accyweb one of the first to complain however you and the other mod's would maintain the standards, now though, slowly but surely your grip (no doubt without noticing) is slipping and the lunatics are gradually taking over the asylum, might I suggest you take a trip down memory lane and look at what you would and would not tolerate and compare that to today? Then once you realise that we all have allowed standards to fall we can start making accyweb what it used to be and not allow it to stay what it has become?
On a personal note I thank you for reminding me that I used to be one of the rebels.

Re: Alton Towers : MUSLIMS ONLY
It's getting so patriotic and heart warming in here, some old dear's going to be bringing out jam and giving us a verse of Jerusalem.

Welcome back by the way Less.
More curtain calls and retirements/comebacks than Maria Callas.

This is going to be a short visit only been back an hour and a post edited already, strange that though, last time I asked, I was told one mod' couldn't make that decision on his own it had to be discussed!
well just to keep things on topic, I hope they trash Alton towers then everyone can say,
"well isn't that typical I always knew they were like that".
Erm Bagpuss, I don't think I'll be here for the awards so you can collect it for me.

How is this thread offensive ? we are all adult ,no racism,no expletives have been used ,we are all talking\typing.
The trouble begins when the talking stops,like the advert says its good to talk.
Getting back to my original point it is illegal in Great Britain to segregate or treat one sex differently from another,I once walked out of a British legion club in my town because my girlfriend at the time was refused admission to the snooker room,the bar was "manned" by a lady though ,very strange that.:engsmil:

I said that I personally found it offensive. My opinion, no one elses.
Jingoism wrapped up as thinly veiled racism, and no not you, but how the press reported this story.
You must admit that now you are aware of some more of the facts, it isn't quite the same story as the first post in this thread?

Re: Alton Towers : MUSLIMS ONLY
...and to your point about the legality of segregation, I believe it is still quite hard in this country still for a man to join a nunnery!
