    It appears so? Nothing bad can be said about them on this forum. Which by all means is the choice of the boards management

    As was explained to you in the messages you received from the AH mods this evening, you cannot generalise against any group -- be they Travellers, Women, Men, Gay People, Straight People - etc etc etc.

    This is covered in the Terms of Use you agreed to when you joined the site, and it's also in the AH Charter.

    It's really as simple as that.

    ... a "race" of people who do F*** all but involve themselves in illegality. Hate the sight of them after being robbed by them.

    And I will say that to anybody without regret. If that makes me racist so be it. But to me I would take ANY other nationality or actual race anyday over a traveller.

    That's not posting about your experiences. That's racist ranting about an entire ethnic group in society. I wouldn't even have warned you tbh - I'd have banned you straight off the bat for that disgusting diatribe.

    Yep, hate speech is not allowed. There are plenty of threads criticising travellers, the problem as always, is people who go overboard.

    Some people seem to think they can act and post anything they like on this site, maybe its a cultural problem or how they were brought up. Then they'll scream "my rights", "I'm oppressed", stuff like that, ruining the site for everybody else. Self entitlement really.

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    Fair enough. I will know again for future.
