Moo has written his offensive comments on both of these threads.
I hope they will be removed by the moderators

Whoops -I haven't posted for ages and I must be out of practice. This was not meant to be a new thread but a reply to the Pop Idol thread above .Have tried to delete but it won't let me

I agree with what u say tho mate, it was a bit offensive.

It's odd how some people get offensive about other people's musical tastes. Why worry what they listen to and why get offensive about it ?

I think it's like a tribal instinct. People like to identify with an artist and they feel that artist is an extension of themselves. They then seek to attack other artists, (tribes).

Hmmm, that was a little too philosophical for me. Actually, it was rubbish. It must be time for bed. I expect Hayden would like to see this thread slip gently to the bottom of the page.

Perhaps we should start a new thread, " Who has started a thread by mistake".

I know I have.

It wasn't about that, it was the terms used to describe gay people that we didn't like.

But if you get easily offended you shouldn't really frequent forums/chats on the Internet.

I'm not offended, I was thinking gay people might be, but I don't like people making those kind of comments about gay people, its like when I hear racist comments too, I'm not easily offended, but I don't like prejudice against people like that.

It is a policy of Digital Spy that offensive posts will not be allowed, and that users will be warned, then banned for making them. In this case, the thread has now been closed and removed, and if such posts are made in future then further action will be taken.

This isn't the forum to be discussing this though, so I'm going to close the thread for now.
