Can I draw forumers' attention to the ABC's Codntions of Use (linked to from the fromt page of this forum) which state that posts will not be allowed if they include racial vilification.

it is our understanding that 'paki' is viewed as a racially abusive term by many pakistanis

therefore can I ask all forumers to go with Lions' suggestion and not use it on this forum

If the word 'Paki' is considered offensive to some (and it is) then why would the moderator allow the initial posts containing the word to go through?

B/c the moderator is an idiot

That's probably the best answer, Nath.

And if one more person calls us 'Aussies'.....

I find the use of the word "Lion" on the ABC forum highly offensive ...

I find the use of the term "ABC forum" both risible and offensive, as it suggests that what occurs in there actually has some vague resemblance to a real forum . . .

Hardly suprising. ABC has now totally succumbed to politically correct wowserism.

Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki Paki

Someone should have reminded the moderators that:

a) Lion is Sri Lankan not Pakistani and

b) There aren't any Paki posters on the forum and

c) The only bigger idiots there than Lion and Larrikin are the mods themselves.

thought Lion was Indian, not that it matters in the slightest
