This thread has broken records of tolerance for CW from the mods. Or should I say the mods are practicing acceptance and understanding? :p

the point re "the british brought law and order to the indigenous", language like that is most often used as a dogwhistle to cast the white man as the liberator of the simple savage, as opposed to a recognition that they hacked and slashed their way through thousands of kooris on their way to imposing their own legal system on a flourishing society which did in fact have its own laws
The only search result to the words you've attributed to me there is your own 'quote'. I might be wrong, but it appears that I didn't actually use these words (if I did then I was likely quoting from a source as a part of a larger quote, for whatever reason at the time, but as I say it doesn't show up in a search).

I haven't gone through the whole conversation you're referring to, but from the looks of it, in response to me mentioning the memorial to the British and Irish soldiers who died as young men far from home fighting nazi germany, I was told that the British and Irish soldiers were "rapists and murderers". In response to which I said (obviously in quite an emotive state having recently visited this memorial and read the inscriptions left by the mothers to their lost children), "You talk about rape and murder, when the Empire brought rue of law and civility. You talk about slavery when the Empire ended slavery."

But hey, if you can drop the word "dog whistle" that gives you the high ground man so congrats.

And to be fair I did use the phrase "rule of law and civility" in connection with the British Empire, and on reflection I should have known that there's always going to be at least one genius who can sniff this sort of stuff out, and identify that I view non-white people as simple savages. Howl howl howl, my darned racist stupidity. What with my reference to "civility", my defence of soldiers who died defending the free world, AND the demise of the aborigines, it all becomes clear. If I wasn't such a stupid racist I would have realised months ago how I'd been caught out.

I mean this year alone I've dated a black african woman, and saved the life of another black african woman and risked my own life in doing so. I go out of my way to give non white people a friendly smile in places where there aren't many minority folk about. But **** me, I referenced civility (however appropriately or inappropriately) in a conversation about Empire after someone had called those who gave their lives for us all "rapists and murderers", so I was caught out damn it.

Well, it's reassuring at least to know that there are some good guys around on the internet fighting the good fight, and weeding out the racists, because if the truth be known if there's one thing we racists dislike more than the savages, it's people who think that they are better racists than ourselves. I wish you and the team all the best in your continuing efforts in this regard in all walks of your lives, and I have every confidence that with your superior non racist intellects and your encyclopedic knowledge of the dog whistles, you'll continue doing a grand job of it.

Congrats again.

Why were you banned?

Because you probably didn't take a hint. Some people don't take hints well. They will be listening to themselves and not taking the cues from their audience, even if that audience is stupid, that what they are saying is not being received well. The mods here are fair. They will drop hints that content is not going well and try to indicate where things are getting out of hand. But some people can't take a hint. Instead they start to double down and alienate themselves further. When that happens, there really isn't much that can be done. It's either let 99% of the community start to opine in more and more reckless ways and let the forum turn to ****, or ban someone. That person doesn't need a reason for their ban. If they are not aware of what it was for they will never be aware, even if spelled out the simplest of terms. If you've been banned for your discussion on a topic, don't have that conversation again. Why would you bother? Have it somewhere else where people will agree with you. I don't get it.

SON, where exactly is social progress going?.
And what is it progressing from?
Has it occurred to you that there might be a conspiracy behind it?
what is their objective?
there might be powerful people behind it. Who are evil
it tells you who they are in the bible ( not that ive bothered to look at one for 30 years)

you really should think for yourself these days or you might be lulled like a lamb led to slaughter .
Life... dreams... hope... Where'd they come from? And where are they headed...? These things... I'm going to destroy!

Just thought I'd leave here the epitaphs of some of the group of young soldiers identified by the good people of the cricketweb forum as "rapists and murderers" in case of interests:

"Beloved only son (24)"

"Sacred heart of Jesus have mercy on his soul (21)"

"These men died that other might live in freedom and decency (23)"

"We who love you can never forget the sacrifice you made that we might live (25)"

"Deep in our hearts a memory is kept of one we loved and will never forget (27)"

"They laid him where he lay in battle underneath the alien stars"

"We shall always remember you Harry. Mother and all at home"

"Tell the Empire all who pass this way that we who died serving it rest content"

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"

"Rest in peace Your work is o'er Loving Mum Dad Brother Sister and family (24)"

"You died for England's glory and that your children may be free"

Now, cue the superior smart alecs with that they've got to say (likely some more baseless accusations of racism just because, well, because they can)...

Surely you're smarter than this degenerative nonsense more typical of a bacteria than anything with a functional brain.
