    Which philosopher said this? (i.e. Harold being correct, again)

    I guerss this is sort of a 'who am I' outside of footballers? But I will give you a clue if you can't guess.

    Who said it then, Harold? Google doesn't have any answers, so it must be from a video. Do you not consider it sort of ironic to pluck a quote about the 'addictive feeling' of outrage from a lengthy video you watched to further confirm your dislike for something?

    EDIT: Meh. The point stands.

    Interesting fact: Mark Lamarr actually isn't related to Hedy Lamarr despite having the same surname.

    No, it was about when Kiko challenged Harold on what he actually knew about London when he said there were too many immigrants or something along those lines. Harold said he visited enough to know, even if he didn't live there.

    No, the point being made is that my disagreements do not result in me attempting to censor (or directly censoring) another point of view.

    That's correct. And so I did PM Kiko about it and it turns out he wasn't genuine, which certainly shocked me.

    That is your point. My point is that that quote in the opening post fits you quite well.

    Well even if you think I'm outraged, how does that manifest itself? Do I try to ban other people from expressing their view?

    It doesn't say that in the quote itself, so I don't care.

    Which is why I brought up the picture. Keep up. It's called hypocrisy.

    Only if your warnings stem from people being outraged, which they don't.

    I hope you've studied them well. When I said that many women like being dominated, sexually, was that a warnable offence or the result of someone's OUTRAGE about a true fact?

    What does that matter? What other reason could there be for that warning other than OFFENCE? I also got a 1 point warning for posting a mock up of Henry at an anti-wrestling protest rally with a 'Wrestling is Real' sign. It's almost as if these people have NO sesne of humour at all.

    Maybe, but then that's not worthy of a warning point. But your grudge against me is hardly hidden, is it? And it IS funny,

    OFFENCE isn't the same as OUTRAGE. Keep up.

    I didn't realise you were talking to me at first. I sent it to Harold by mistake. It was meant for Phonics.

    He also sent Mert a message about the bus times in and out of Larne, and for some reason I got a purchase order for a used set of bondage gear.

    I was absolutely genuine. I'm surprised you didn't mention it over the beer the other night.
