Some 7 or 8 years back, I was on Digital Spy, it was great IMO, and I lightly fenced with a few contributors, I even drew the admiration of a 30 something teacher, and we almost got together, but not quite.
There were many interesting threads, and I was enjoying myself immensely.
Then someone started a thread about travellers, and the many antisocial things that they were guilty of, and disliking them intensely, I jumped in, feet first.
Unfortunately, but truthfully I thought, I labelled them untermenschen, and some offended soul picked up on the fact that that was the word that the Nazi regime employed to describe Jews and Slavs.
Shazam! A permanent ban!
