Grumpier Old Men

As the person who probably holds a minority view on more threads than any other GOM, maybe I'm expected to do likewise about Ken, and to a limited extent maybe I do.

Ken clearly has a history of forum disruption. From his first post on GOM in another ego:
we knew it would likely get acrimonious.

In terms of forum behaviour he is a right pain in the posterior, hijacking threads and banging on about the same ole, same ole. He also has an abrasive discourteous posting manner which unfortunately many GOM consider de rigueur.

In his defence he does have a point about the pretty racist-like attitude towards just about any Muslims that permeates this forum. He is right that it is not difficult to understand (but not justify) what motivates some Muslims, and Palestinians in particular, to commit acts of terrorism toward Israel and the Western world. He is right that Israel's behaviour towards the Arabs has been less than diplomatic to put it mildly and that combined with the West's traditional support for Israel would likely have consequences. That is not the same as condoning terrorism.

I stand to be corrected, perhaps by the man himself, but I think that one of his previous incarnations was not quite as rabidly anti EU as most GOM and would cut through some of the Mailesque postings with some facts on the subject.

It is such a pity that his potential benefit to the forum is ruined by his appalling lack of forum etiquette.
So does his forum behaviour warrant some form of ban/suspension? IMO yes, but there are one or two who ought to be in the queue ahead of him for the exit.
Sadly he wouldn't be the first person get banned who also happened to provide a degree of much-needed alternative opinion.

Out of 44, 14 presidents of the US were Masons. So I'd say my claim was pretty close.

Even the One Dollar Bills have Masonic symbols on them.

Stars of David and references to the New World Order in Latin inscribed on them

My brother is a Mason and his lodge is Jewish. Very Jewish. He's not, he's a Bon Viveur with no inclination to run the planet either.

I'm aware of the links to the presidents of the US. My dad visited a lodge in America, apparently he had to check with London before agreeing to attending the meeting out there. He said it was nothing like how it is done in the UK, I'm not sure what he meant exactly, it was never of interest to me, his masonic hobby.

My brother resigned from his London lodge because it was over run by Jewish, mainly London black cab drivers. They always joked that the nights they met no bugger could get a cab in London.
He is still a member of a lodge near to where he lives, I think he likes getting away from the wife, and unlike golf you can stay warm and dry.

So what's the problem then? I can cut down my anti zionist posts a bit but I'm sure not going to stop occasionally commenting on important things people don't notice (Like that Axlerod slimebag becoming adviser to your future PM). Some people don't like the endless anti-muslim, anti-coloured, anti-immigrant drivel that you so freely permit. So why shouldn't I occasionally even things out? Or is this forum too controlled by the certain section I keep an eye on?

Yes that must be it Kenneth. The mods are watching you.

Considering this is in the 'Shitbin' there seems to be a lot of people willing to read and comment about it.



BTW I fully concur with Eyeore's take on Kenny's contributions. There's a lot of truth in them, he just needs to work on his 'presentation'

Or over presentation in his case. I doubt the penny will drop before he goes too far.

St. George, being a Palestinian, sure wouldn't be pleased with modern brits.
His alleged mothers place in Palestine, Lydda, is now called Lod, and is squatted by Israelis.

Shit-binned!

Now shape up or ship out.

Fool!

If you bothered to check out Rense.com every now and then (middle column, scroll down), you'd find that colluding with the USAy has proved a bigger threat to your freedom than being part of Europe.
BTW, UKIP's been nobbled:

Shit-binned!

LOL! That's a bit rich coming from a mod who repeatedly censors criticism of Zionism.

Thus keeping you on the Board!

Stop censoring people then, hypocrite!
