This thread is terrible. The title is pure garbage. I get that it is suppose to be satire, and that 5 is one of the "good guys" so he is beyond reproach. I also realize that this forum is whiter than wonder bread. But have any of you given any thought to how a new poster that come to this forum and is a minority would react to a thread like this?

I doubt they would get the inside joke or bother to read enough of it to get it. To me this nothing but a fake ass liberal using that status to be racist.

Mat doesn't think Chez is an idiot, he gives him more credit then I do. How is a thread titled like it is not instantly nuked?

I take the point that I may be over-relaxed about what appears to be to be such an obviously ironic thread but so far it has attracted no post reports which suggest everybody also gets it.

This thread is not irony, it's not satire, it's pure and unfiltered, straight from the source.

If so, then I'm going to close the tread.

I think you have to give these guys a chance to catch on first.

As beautifully portrayed by Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights scene, some posters are the folk band, some are the club owner, and some are the critic. The fun is figuring out who's who.

Yeah, I mean... Wow...

I'm closing the thread for now at least. I will listen to arguments that it should be reopened but the material in here is totally unacceptable in this forum.

Unless and until a different decision is reached, please do not attempt to replicate the method here in any other thread.
