A strange breed indeed, is it just me or do they actualy enjoy being wound up like yo-yo ? The whole 'countries going to the dogs' brigade really seem to lap it up, i wonder if studies have been done on the Mail readership concerning blood pressure and/or aneurysms.

I know what you mean. I can never get through the whole paper either.
Looks like we got ourselves a (daily mail) reader....
But we have a few HateMail readers around here. Well, every pack has it's jokers I suppose...
That it is.
Funny thing is though, I live in a predominantly Asian area of London and The Mail sells really well. My local curry house, whose owners are of Indian sub-continental extraction (and I would guess by their accents, that neither of the two generations that work out front, were born in Britain - I hope I'm not making too many assumptions here), leaves The Mail on the counter for their customers to read whilst waiting for their curry.
Michael Howard is a prime example.

I take your point they are different words but illegal and bogus are similar.
I occasionally read it, but I could never take it seriously.
Scaremongers.
Same, my parents read that. Its a good laugh to read and think people beleive this toss. Laughing at anothers expense can be entertaining, until it hits you that people take this as fact. Then its just scary.
Well worth a read.
I hate the fact that people see it as more intellectual than the sun or the mirror. Even the sunday sport is more factual than the mail.
It whips people up into hysteria, urghhh filthy right wing piece of shit. Journalism at its worst.
I agree wholeheartedly. My mother buys it on a Saturday for the 'free magazine'. I've begged her not to and I refuse to buy it for her. She asked me last week to get it for her and I pretended they'd sold out and bought something else with a free TV magazine.
Not disputing the right of mods from any site to enforce their rules as they see fit, though.
This is the thread that ended it all http://vbulletin.thesite.org.uk/showthread.php?t=78445&page=1&pp=20&
That's not to say that the right and racism or homophobia have to go together but the majority of trolls (for example) who get banned tend to have posted with a right wing slant (hitler was right, all immigration must stop, all jews should die, etc) and their most extreme posts are delted.
The result is you get more 'right wingers' banned and you also don't have any evidence of their extreme posts left on the site (except for the mods who can still see it).
And to be honest I also get lots of complaints from people from both sides of the political field about how much freedom the 'other' side is getting, which kinda feels like it should be, as opposed to everyone just agreeing with each other.
Ultimately though the boards are going to reflect the website as a whole, the tone of postings, the content of factsheets, means that people of certain views are more likely to feel comfortable (as is the same with everything). Rules like no homophobic posts attract certain people of the 100,000 a month that look at the boards and this in its self produces an inevitable biasis.
We do our best to allow all voices to be heard within the framework set out and the banning of Luke wasn't taken lightly - however take a look at the final postings and you have to understand that after a large number of warnings we had nowhere else to go.
