[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1041347, member: 72205"] On a more grander scale I do think the ECB do need to be seen to doing stuff and its important for combating racism/sexism and the more "casual" kind seen in those tweets. It wasn't acceptable that he said it and if you get caught even years later without acknowledging you were wrong before being caught you will be punished however minorly. Instead we have some sections of society that are more interested in being outraged that he's being punished than asking why we are happy to brush comments made by youngsters under the carpet in general. I look back to my very early 20's to a comment I made, I'd made it various times over the year about how funny it was Gandalf was played by a gay man. A friend who's about 10 years older than me called me out on it along the lines of "no its not funny and if you think I'd find that kind of funny you need to reassess your opinion of me", actually being called out it did make me realise it wasn't funny at all and I couldn't even work why I did think it was funny. Probably made me reassess what in general found funny. Now I'm not talking about in Robinson but it would be far better to tell people of that age this **** isn't funny and never acceptable. Rather than the 'ah young people say stupid ****' brushing under the carpet people the fact they shouldn't of said it in the first place. [/QUOTE]
