"Put up or shut up"
It's already been put up Keith - read the posts - but here goes again:
"Keith, I have found no bigotry or slurs in your posts.
I take it back.
I am ashamed."
The reference you put up leading to your posting as 'Oakville' confirms this exactly - a fake post - what's your point?
"Jim I never referred to pimping, unless it was in a quote."
There were numerous quotes - really can't be bothered counting them - which included the term 'pimp' - you chose the quotes, it's a little late to disassociate from it when it becomes 'inconvenient'.
Also, when I and others asked you to clarify your stance on Pakistani "pimping" you made it perfectly clear that you had no problem with the term.
Please Keith - when you're in a hole, stop digging! Once again I'm beginning to feeling a little embarrased on your behalf.
Mike;
You may well be right that 'pimping' has been used as a shorthand; it's a long thread and I came to it quite late.
My concern is, and remains, that accusations of a crime were being made, without proof, against a single national/religious (bit of an ambiguity there as well) community, and it is this which persuaded me to join in, especially given Keith's track record (on sectarianism particularly). I would probably have reacted similarly if the accusation had been driving without license and insurance!
