'Pained reaction'....I don't really care about a left wing person having opinions....that's fine..In fact it's good...It keeps the right honest...society benefits by having to accommodate diverse views...I just point out hypocrisy when I see it because I see a lot of it. If someone takes high moral positions it often can be contradicted later on.....So they should rightly be very certain about what they say if they don't want 'feedback'.....Which we earlier agreed was a good thing I think.

You're right...I don't care about an idiot (not you) saying idiotic things outside of a controlled environment...as long as that's all it is...It's something I'll suffer for the greater good and the necessary blurring that subjectivity brings.

I was pointing out that people were charged and publicly shamed for abusing Sol Campbell at a football match.

You said you were referring to online abuse. That wasn't clear.

You have whatever opinion you like of Sol Campbell, that is your right. It is my right to say if there was a rumour about him, especially if I say it is untrue or unfounded.

Take a quick look at the posts on the "Away Fans" page on this website under "Things you would find in the Seaweed club shop" and then tell me that we don't have a lot of puerile homophobic fans here at Palace...

Well I'm not part of the free-speech Taliban on here but I will be chanting both of those at the ref or the bin-dippers

"You're taliban
you're taliban
it's true!"
