I do see. I see you virtue signalling your distaste for racists based on a wholly false equivalence. How righteous you are.

Have you been practicing that response or did you cut it out and save it for a rainy day.

In more simple terms, I couldnt give a toss if someone is black, white, green, grey, wears a uniform, tracksuit or a dog collar. If they have sexually assaulted or groomed kids, they should be dealt with accordingly - hope that's ok with you and we seem to have drifted some distance from the thread so, lets get back to where we were, if that's ok with you ?

I would like to suggest you locked this thread PT. I think emotions have been raised and not really what most fans want to read on a rugby forum. I know some will say ignore the thread.
The new season starts in a few hours, let’s get ready for that, and start debating rugby again.
Thank you

I would have thought that expressing my extreme distaste for religion is the opposite of both virtuous and righteous? Self-righteous would be a reasonable allegation - I'd take that.

Anyhow - there's nothing here for you to jump on; I don't like bigots - and Israel Folau, with the assumed moral authority of a made up religious text to embolden his wacky worldview, is an extreme bigot.

Gareth Thomas will love the irony of that suggestion.

OK, I thought the reference to the grooming gangs was inappropriate. And Wrencat's contribution a bit 'hometown', considering the above.

Let's move on.

The man's entitled to voicing his opinions like everyone else, but if we're to have free speech it's got to work both ways so take the consequences when people call you out on your ridiculous views.
