Frankly Malcolm, you talk a load of old bollocks. And I'm tired of it. And I intensely dislike veiled threats too.
So please take note:
Firstly, the postman who called Andy Murray a "useless jock" was convicted on three counts of criminal damage and two counts of racially aggravated criminal damage." Re-read that and digest. He was convicted of 5 counts of criminal damage because he was involved in a campaign of "daubing" (the criminal damage aspect) abusive comments on posters.
The Daily Bellylaugh's sub caption which says:
Is typical newspaper bollocks, having elevated out of context the Andy Murray part of the story in order to sensationalize the story and generate more readers and sales.
Moreover, if the word "Macgroaning" can be viewed as racism, then not only will I eat my shorts after a long day of suffering under your diatribe, but I invite you to go ahead and see if you can get the authorities to proceed with a charge. I'll assist them in their endeavours and defend myself in court. And counter sue. Capiche?
So, down to business.
We're happy to have intelligent posters participating in the forum sensibly - rather than walking through the corridors of the place draping their national identity over their shoulders, seeking to cause rancour with a persecuted air and an inflated sensitivity.
Abide by this and we'll just about all get along - and may even learn to do better than that in time. I have seen your posts in the JFK folder and there you participate in a manner that represent the sprit of this forum. Those in the Scottish thread and her in the Football thread are not in the spirit of the place -- and we both pretty much know why you have decided to hijack this football is fixed thread.
You have read the forum rules and know that the founders can revoke membership at any time and without giving a reason. Plenty of past members have been banned for trolling (read the definition below) or for causing dissent with the orderly running of the place. You know how precariously you stand in this regard already.
In final analysis you need to consider why you want to be a member here, and how to behave to ensure you retain your membership if, indeed, you now wish to.
Oh, and by the way. Not that any members would call you a "useless jock", because they're far too caring to do that, but if they did, good luck with threatening to invoke the law with them. This is a law of the UK only and other nationalities are not confined by it.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
