Yes. You are. You're also allowed to use when referring to exam cramming centres.
If mods/admin really dislike what you post or it could open the site to legal action, then it'll be removed or edited. No-one has a right to say whatever they like. There is no freedom of speech anywhere on the planet. People who complain about a lack of freedom of speech are usually whining, puerile inadequates who resent not being able to spout their filthy emissions to all and sundry.
So are we not allowed to use the words "concentration camps"? Even if we are referring to a lot of gay people standing together?

I'd say free speech is irrelevant in this whole matter as the site's owned by CUK and CUK has mods and admins who decided who stays and who goes on a site they own. It's not as if the mods can stop KaiserJerk expressing his opinions anywhere else, it's not North Korea and the comparison is frankly laughable. We get a lot of room to speak our minds on this site free of charge, much more than can be expected on many commercial sites, but at some stage the mods and admin decide on behalf of the site's owner that it's gone too far. That's their right. Live with it.
I have no problem with it and I have seen the banned fella being offensive in other threads so maybe he got what he deserved.
Oh and it was assguru who mentioned free speech not me!
and for the record I am not dim or a PM well I am at least not a PM
hmm the words pot n kettle etc - however today is not the day for
Interesting point about free speech in that actually yes - you should be able to have an opinion - regardless of how offensive other people find it - that is kind of the whole point of free speech.
or maybe we should have sort of semi free speech which is only allowed if it has been passed by the Bureau of Free Speech to be checked for political correctness.... that reminds me of somewhere...... oh yeah that was it North Korea a state well know for its willingness to let its people exercise freedom of speech.

You behave like a PM: i.e. like a cock.
No the banned fella was implying that all "pakis" (his word) behaved that way and should be put into concentration camps. But perhaps you think that's simply free speech

Indeed. You don't need to reference concentration camps to say someone should be locked up for a long time, especially when your forum name refers to Kaiser Wilhelm, who committed genocide and built concentration camps in southern Africa, laid the way for the Nazis in Europe and was notoriously racist AND anti-semitic. Context can make a silly statement more or less serious. In this case, the context plus the content was revolting.

so was it just the reference to concentration camps that was the problem? I think more what the recently banned fella was trying to say was that he should be locked up in a sh1tty place and have the key thrown away.
