Well FF has certainly changed their tune regarding historic tweets!
Fixed that for you...part of who you were and who you now are.Seems difficult to pass judgement without knowing what was said.
Yes, the tweets were sent years ago but if they're publically available online to view at any time, you're essentially saying 'these were my words'.
Serious question, and feel free not to answer of course. Do you class yourself as homosexual? If so then I can understand taking issue with certain things said from time to time on here.I don't go looking for anything. Maybe daily basis is a bit of an exaggeration but you do see it a lot. Post #4 on the semi final draw for example.
People can't seem to distinguish between admittedly crude humour, rather than extremists who would gladly put sections of society on trains to the east.you'll see all type of language on here, and on millions more forums sir.
For the vast amount it is like minded folk letting off steam, having a laff and some banter.
Even the more out there stuff isn't real or believed.
It gets us through life and has done since life began.
I told a joke: "what's blue and f.ucks old grannies?"
The punchline was "hypothermia or me in my lucky denim jacket"
Yes it could be classed as bad taste but ffs i do not actually go around in a denim jacket f.ucking grannies.
Cancel culture is a stain on society.
p.s. i have more stylish jackets for the older crowd...
No I don't but I'm sure there are people on here that are and do take issue.Serious question, and feel free not to answer of course. Do you class yourself as homosexual? If so then I can understand taking issue with certain things said from time to time on here.
What did he say?
Ah, very few on here will likely care then.
He's getting punished while Daily Record bigots are getting away with it. Where's the fairness?Well FF has certainly changed their tune regarding historic tweets!
No I don't, I think a slap on the wrist would've sufficed. My post was a reference to the unnecessary homophobic language used on this forum from time to time. Call it out though and you're "woke" or a "snowfláke".Should people care? Do you think digging up these long forgotten tweets and punishing a random individual does anything to advance the cause of tolerance and respect for the LGBT movement?
No I don't, I think a slap on the wrist would've sufficed. My post was a reference to the unnecessary homophobic language used on this forum from time to time. Call it out though and you're "woke" or a "hunk".
A "slap on the wrist" being releasing a short statement that some PR guy will write that you do not hold such views etc... Which then ends up as good PR. Hardly a punishment.So yes, you do think people should be punished if evidence can be excavated that prove they used language that was completely typical within the culture of the time. I think that doing so is entirely counter-productive, to be quite honest.
Just because I've seen plenty of it doesn't mean I go mining for it. I'm just on here a lot.I'm also sure that mining a football forum for slight, off-color remarks regarding other groups of people is going to be a poor recreational activity, and those you scold won't take a telling.
For my generation it is MW2World's gone mad. Anyone late 20s to.mid 30s, remember bebo? They'd need a new wing in every jail in the country if they trawler that.
Every time I see one your posts now I’ll have a mental image of Shakin Stevens.you'll see all type of language on here, and on millions more forums sir.

The only people who deny there is a culture war are either pig ignorant or pushing the agenda.Sick to death with this pish. Meant to believe there is no such thing as a 'culture war' while this sort of nonsense is infesting public life.
Done with people pretending to be offended and trying to take part in some sort of victim olympics. Its a complete farce.
For my generation it is MW2
Literally everyone currently aged 22-28 would be in the jail if they heard what we were saying to each other.
It’s like clockworkWell FF has certainly changed their tune regarding historic tweets!
The new "go to" words that will introduce an industry to society, creating jobs to search through historical tweets for the ultimate gain of achieving in the big picture absolutely fvck all, the country is on its knees after a pandemic needing creative juices flowing to get us back on track and this nonsense is to the front and centre, i give up.He was 18 ffs... you never said anything "off" when you were 18?
Someone needs to stand against this "archeological cancel" pish.
Well FF has certainly changed their tune regarding historic tweets!

Did Jonson Clarke-Harris start a campaign to get guys fired from their job, with massive impact on their lives, based on historic tweets? Making it front page news to get the message to the whole country that these guys are bad.It’s like clockwork
10 weeks ago.The world was a different place even just 10 years ago with the language and stuff we used to say. I would be in the same boat as him with some of the ridiculous things I would say and share on social Media along with 99% of the population in their teens back then. It’s now at a stage where they should delete their social media all Together and start new ones so some absolute cretin of life drags up shit that was said in a different time and when you were a teenager.
I'm glad the old Box Brownie cameras didn't have a video function when I travelled with the Barlanark RSC bus.18 at the time of the tweets. Now, aged 27, he is required to complete a face to face education program... really? I mean, really? Hes not grown and matured at all in that period?
Get this shit so far to fcuk. Beyond sick of it. If i had twitter at 18 id be doing a life term by now.
Nine years ago?Seems like I'm the only one that thinks it's fair. 18 years old, not as if he was a child. If he'd said the comments on a football pitch, would've got 6 games like a few others have had.
I think what most of us believe is that it’s a travesty to start with.Before the faux outrage continues, it's the precedence the FA sent when they banned troy deeney and andre gray.
If it was a daily record journalist, it would be a slightly different story.
Yes, the poster has went a step too far.who's man of the year was he?
Genuinely interested? Got a link?
Probably see it differently if they said it today though.Ah, very few on here will likely care then.
Yet you still log in?Sure, but I'm not really talking about that. Just saying that I see homophobic language floating around this forum on a daily basis.
I’m really offended you’re offended because it’s offensive to meSeems you're offended by the people on this thread having a different opinion given those are the only posts you've replied to.
Personally, I’m offended at people trying to demonise and criminalise ninety-nine percent of the population.Seems you're offended by the people on this thread having a different opinion given those are the only posts you've replied to.
I don't need to post every single thought I have online, unlike your 7 posts on this thread in the last 20 minutes!Yes, the poster has went a step too far.
Interestingly though, I see you have no criticism of Griffiths himself or for those who have done nothing to challenge his past behaviour.
you'll see all type of language on here, and on millions more forums sir.

Seven replies to seven different posts where I have a different opinion on a topic that interests me and I’m hoping the poster I’m replying to will indulge in debate with me?I don't need to post every single thought I have online, unlike your 7 posts on this thread in the last 20 minutes!
It hasn't gone full circle on historic tweets though has it. The Daily Record thing was about blatant, unashamed hypocrisy.I never imagined FF would go full circle on the historic tweets carry on.
Who'd of thought it!?
I fully agree. It's how we evolve in life. We make mistakes, learn and move forward. Everything changes, not just us as people but society.The last few years have made people more aware that some things we used to say and were passed off as just banter, can actually cause offence to others and that's fine. I, like i imagine the majority of people on this planet have said and done things as teenagers that we are embarrassed and not proud of, but as we matured we also realised that it wasn't okay. What i don't like is going through someones tweets, finding something from 2012 and trying to use those tweets to get that person into bother. A 4 game ban is a disgrace and there's far better ways to take action than simply stopping someone doing their job, especially when enough time has gone by that his opinion on what he said could easily have changed.
I can see the difference. It’s pretty clear. Of course I get the whole “they did something to us so we have to retaliate” thing.Did Jonson Clarke-Harris start a campaign to get guys fired from their job, with massive impact on their lives, based on historic tweets? Making it front page news to get the message to the whole country that these guys are bad.
Really basic stuff guys. How you don’t see the difference I don’t know.
