like i said I won't stop using it.
WOW. You've decided that because
you don't deem something as offensive it isn't - i'm guessing you ain't very well educated bhoy because, whether you like it or not, that isn't the way of either the world or the law.
I've asked you, in a very civil manner to stop using what is accepted in some, if not all, quarters as an offensive, sectarian phrase - you won't but that speaks more about you than I ever could. Use it all you want in your own circles by all means; i'm only asking you not to use it on here where it causes offence.
It really shouldn't be that hard to understand that (irrespective of your ignorance) if someone points out that you are being offensive, the least you can do is acknowledge that and refrain from using the term again. Surely, common courtesy or manners would kick in to some extent? Surely your Ma has reared you better than that?
Maybe tho' your ignorance is really an indicator as to why sectarianism is so rife and until (usually un-educated) parents are able to break that cycle of sectarian hatred, tribalism, ghetto mentality and scumbag behaviour will always exist.
I know for sure tho' that, if I was ignorant enough to use a term that my fellow Irish (Roman Catholic) Reds, on here, found offensive; I would be a F***ing idiot to ignore what they were saying. You're on a Reds board here boy, not a hate-filled Old-Firm forum. We have members from all sides of the religious divides. We have members from both Northern Ireland and the Republic - this is not the streets of Glasgow.
Please refrain from using what is deemed sectarian abuse by some if not all - not much to ask really, eh?
