Tommy Robinson is Evil but Nick Griffin is OK

IronGiant

That's what I hope it is.

Or maybe he hasn't posted anything that would warrant a ban?

I've got no idea having never read anything of his. But I'd expect bans would only come after complaints were investigated and upheld?

Isn’t that what I said?

IronGiant

No.

You said that you thought he wasn't banned because he wasn't being reported.

My point was different, that perhaps he is being reported but the complaints have no substance for the social media companies to ban him.

If I reported you for the previous post, should IG just go ahead and ban you because a complaint was made? Or should he look at your post and decide no ban is necessary because there was nothing in it that broke the rules?

Do you see my point?

I do see your point, but I feel that if you looked at his posts (even a cursory look over his most recent ones) they appear to be contentious enough to warrant action if people were reporting him at the scale that people are likely to have been reporting Robinson leading up to his ban.  

As with all divisive figures, if not enough people report them, Social Media won't do anything.

Fair point.  

But the forum is overseen by more than me

There are many possible theories and explinations for why Nick Griffon is not a hot topic for banning on social media.

The one I feel most likely is that he simply isn't in the headlines or public consciousness anymore at a level that causes sufficient concern.
If there were infinite resources to investigate and analyse every person on social media, then it would be a fair point, but there isn't, so from both the users/complainants and the administrators of social media, their focus is going to be directed at the individuals that draw the most attention in general.

Pretty much stating the obvious there.

Clearly from my posts, I'm one of a few here who keep tabs on all these arseholes.

My last Griffin post ...

I don't think Nick Griffin is a bad guy, but I find his attitude inconsiderate and his use of language inflammatory. He's too much of an ideologue IMO. He's rude and stubborn.

He's too much of an odious, racist, and bigoted turd imho
