don't be silly. using someone's suicide in that way is distasteful.

you don't seem to be able to separate things you disagree with from things people should be prevented from saying - which is the first step on the path to repression.

that in the USA there are persistent differences in average iq between different racial groups is an established fact. on average, groups who have asian or jewish ancestry score higher than the group with white ancestry, so even that established data doesn't fit any simple claim of 'racism'. the debate is whether that data is explained by environmental factors or heredity, and whether iq measures are objective and relevant to measured outcomes. to me environmental factors seem most critical and, in any case, measured iq seems a limited determinant of outcomes. but, this is still more complex than your desire to shout 'racist' at people you disagree with.


Still being condescending. I don’t need your silly summary, the guy you are defending needs to be reading the real science.

You are happy to call people names when they disagree with you. So a little bit of hypocrisy thrown in as well.

Yes a man being driven to suicide is distasteful.
It is also clearly a case of harm. Dismissing that is just deflection.

As usual you are inferring that are not in evidence.

And all that that stuff you just posted demonstrates why the guy is a racist.

Can you give me scientific evidence why black people will be better entertainers?

People can say racist things. In which case we call them racists. That’s not repressing free speech.
That’s identifying the speech and the person.

How is that shouting?

I do note how much you have condemned people for being anti-Semitic on occasion.
I didn’t see you posting about the rights of free speech, in those discussions.

But apparently people saying blacks are dumber than whites, but they can dance and run, is just a point of view. Nothing more than a point of view.

You’re white I take it.

I don't know how many times I can write the same point. Who said I/we take his views into account? or pass any judgement on them other than to totally refute them.

I'd rather live in a society where these people are challenged, And yes, freedom of speech and equality are co-dependent, not independent. You can't have one without the other.

Please stick to the point and don't call out individual posters. The implication from what you are writing is offensive.


I thought you liked offensive viewpoints. That they are interesting, challenging and funny - you know, like the ones Rod Liddle had. Or is that only when they’re directed at minority groups and not you?

Yep, defend free speech when it doesn’t harm me.

Object when it does.

Lowhouse and Balcombe spending a lot of time and energy making sure the views of very prominent white supremacists are being taken into account. And also explaining how the right of very privileged white people to write “challenging” and controversial think pieces is as important as the right for all races to be treated equally and not face discrimination.


Do you support Ipswich Town? Or have any interest in football? It's just that in 45 posts in 2 years you haven't posted a single thing about football, only solely interested in fighting for radical left topics.

do you only have free speech if you post mostly about football?

is it not a problem for balcombe or lowhouse who seem to post almost exclusively on this thread?

Sorry, what’s all that got do with anything I’ve written? You just seem to be banging on about racism and homophobia being a scourge on society. Who’s disagreeing with that?

the first and third points there don't seem to bear much relevance to my post, the second is more reasonable.

i have never and would never ask for someone to be banned, unlike others on here, i was just curious as to the motives of this particular account. i believe balcombe and lowhouse have posted about Ipswich Town before.

the 3rd point was just countering your point that rhymenoceros was "solely interested in fighting for radical left topics", challenging cofnas' racism isn't radical left in any way

agree with you that challenging racism isn't exclusively radical left, but i was referring to the entire posting history, not specifically cofnas, so that was why i didn't think it was relevant to what i had said.

I have! I’m normally quite positive about Ipswich! So being argumentative isn’t always my default personality.

I’ll be there today, but I don’t get to many games for a variety of reasons. Interesting to read others views on football. I’ll more often stick to political philosophy.

saying "solely interested" implies exclusivity, so i'm free to think it's relevant!

solely interested over 45 posts, not one about cofnas.

'challenging racism isn't "radical left"' (i assume you mean exclusively radical left) was a straw man over something i didn't say or imply so it was not relevant.

was the cofnas thread not included in your count of 45? i've not been stalking him, so may have assumed wrongly.

so am i safe to assume that you're happy to challenge cofnas' racism then?

i have no idea what you are talking about now and i haven't got the energy to keep re-reading posts to prove I am not going out of mind. This seems to be a recurring pattern on here, and I'm not falling for it again.

I'm happy with what I've written and it is all there for anyone else to dissect.
