Apology

[SuburbanMe]

Hi guys,

I just wanted to post this in case any of you were offended by a post that I got banned for.

I won't go into too much detail as It's not needed, but I was banned for a "racist" post. It was never my intention to offend anyone, and my comment in my opinion as not racist - but Grizz took offense to it so I was banned for a week. I cop that on the chin, and am choosing to apologise off my own bat.

I cannot stress enough that I meant no offense, and I'm sorry to those that may have been offended.

Thanks for your time.

We live in a democracy (ha!), so the majority of users should be offended before someone is banned

Mate you may have stuffed up & we all have, but credit to you for actually manning up and taking responsibility.

Most of us don't own up to mistakes.

DR - I bite my tongue.

Mate you are my secret weapon on J Day.

Come to the ground with minimal clothing. Strip, jump the fence and make a beeline for Judas.

Didn't see it, glad that i didn't. But top marks for offering an apology. Classy.

Try just hating all foreigners equally rather than picking out one particular ethnic group - so that it doesnt come across as totally racist next time.

Now that would be a sight to see!

At least you could spend your week suspension in the NAB cup as opposed to the H&A season...

Hehehe - funny you should say that - I actually made a remark stating I'm not racist - I hate everyone equally - but it seemed to go over everyones head.

The worst thing was I got pinned for a racist remark (which I have to stress was NOT intended as a racist remark) against people of the jewish Faith, and I have numerous Jewish friends, so it kinda sucked for me as I was being labeled racist against my very own friends. (edit - Also, Jews/Muslims aren't their own race - as stated they are people that follow a religion: Judaism and Islam, just like Christianity, Catholicism, Athiesm etc...)

And just for those who read the comments - To clarify my call on Halal and kosher food - I have nothing against Halal food - Only thing I have against Kosher food is that in my experience it lacks in flavour and Gefilte fish is just terrible - but in general (apart from the taste of some kosher dishes) the cost of the food is way over priced - and that was the point I was originally getting at. It's bad enough you have to pay $100 for a bucket of chips, a Pie and a can of coke - adding specialty food or even replacing certain foods with Halal/kosher food would jack the already stupid prices up even further.

So Once again - I'm sorry to any of you I offended, It was certainly not my intention, and I really hope my apology is accepted, and to Biff and those of you that have given me the nice comments - my thanks.

(And yes I know it's only a forum yadda yadda yadda - but it's still people behind the keyboards).

Ok, I think all that needs to be said has been.

I'll close it up now.
