In summary:I'm pretty out of loop on this one, but I will point out that the name Changaneen is kind of racist.
PB has been like this for like 2 years now.. Don't really see any evidence there will be a change in his postings.I saw what was written. I can understand the people who have posted this morning. I really can. My personal position is that we should back in the awesome Port mods here to make the call. I can understand people might not agree. Could I perhaps urge anyone who has a strong opinion take it to a PM and see if you can at least see it from each others point of view.
I know. And we all know what the real issue is. That makes me sad, not angry.PB has been like this for like 2 years now.. Don't really see any evidence there will be a change in his postings.
The only possible justification would be 'it wasn't racist ENOUGH'.Wow. Would love to see the mods in question justifying this. Go on, tell us all your reasoning. Will be interesting to see if they have the guts to do so.
Did he get away with it? He was banned and has since apologised for his actions/words. At the end of the day this is just a footy forum and if people have issues with his postings they can report them to the mods or simply put him on ignore.Well I guess we know what you can get away with on this forum then. Have at it people!
Actually his postings were borderline illegal hate speech, but carry on.Did he get away with it? He was banned and has since apologised for his actions/words.

Does he require further education or to be sent to Alcatraz?Actually his postings were borderline illegal hate speech, but carry on.
The Racial Discrimination Act 1975 forbids hate speech on several grounds. The Act makes it "unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people; and the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person, or of some or all of the people in the group."
In 2002, the Federal Court applied the Act in the case of Jones v. Toben. The case involved a complaint about a website which contained material that denied the Holocaust. The Federal Court ruled that the material was a violation of the Act.[2] (particularly apt here).
Just shunning from the community.Does he require further education or to be sent to Alcatraz?
Look I don't like to engage in this kind of discussion, as its kind of bullshit to talk about someone in front of them as though they aren't there.Does he require further education or to be sent to Alcatraz?
I'm not saying he should be sent to alcatraz, but it is abundantly clear he shouldn't be posting on bigfooty, as he simply cannot help himself.
Unbanning Changaneen is a worse call than trying to call a plebiscite on gay marriage.
What, are you going to make this play out in an open forum again?
TIL not being able to deliberately offend people on the internet is the same as a life sentence in maximum security prison.So Alcatraz it is.
Why'd you do it, you bastard!!
Yeah, that was f**king brutal, but I guess that stuff doesn't affect me as badly as it does some others.
Against my mate's suggestion, I was chowing down, and it really didn't bother me. I don't know what that says about me.
Well, maybe Glenn's eye got to me a bit.
I'm just sad/pissed about Glenn.
Should be an interesting season ahead.
