Normal Service will be resumed shortly…


by Unity    

As you may have noticed, earlier today LC’s webhosts had a bad attack of the gremlins, or perhaps Murdochs, causing their entire network to fall over for several hours.

Thankfully, the parrot turned out not be a Norwegian Blue but this has put us a bit behind, hence the lack of posts today and a backlog of emails I’ve got to try and sort out later this evening.

All things being equal, we should be back to normal tomorrow morning, providing we can work out what normal is in the first place.

I just assumed my work had finally blocked the site. I wonder when they’ll catch on?

normal service is resumed in the sense that immigration threads attract racists…

Lemmy re: Comment 2,

Don’t be such a plonker.
It was just the same as over at Harry’s Place last week.

You’re the plonker Kojak as you’re a birther and never use HP Sauce as a measure for racism, as it is pretty racist and look at the immigration threads, loaded with bigots.

Ok Lemmy,

Just because there have been what you consider to be racist postings on the immigration topics doesn’t necessarily mean the whole system froze as a consequence. But, if you want to run about like chicken little saying the network is crashing down around you as a result of racist abuse – well, feel free to do so.

Birthers. Oh this is really boring, but I’ll carry on for your sake. To point out that questions have been asked, that they could very easily be answered and that it’s a bit surprising that they haven’t doesn’t make me a ‘birther’ or a racist. By the same token – if on my way to work I sing along to Angels on my headphones it doesn’t mean I’m Robbie Williams.

Making a comment that Harry’s Place also crashed last week doesn’t mean that I’m a racist either. Given the amount of references to Harry’s Place on this board (there are plenty of people here who look at it) I hardly think that you can define anyone who looks at there as a racist. But maybe you do.

You might disagree them about certain topics but to cry racist so readily is really tedious and devalues the meaning of the word.

immigration threads@libcon attract racists

Have you actually read the immigration threads Kojak? It’s not pretty.
