I’m not used to seeing so many bans. Why has the moderation seem to have gotten a bit more strict?

Really? He wasn’t obviously being anything in my mind because I had zero idea what that was supposed to mean.

Unfortunately, the original post came across as just that (racist) - though thankfully was just a misunderstanding/mis-post as confirmed from Duracell’s later explanation.
As a general request to everyone - please be careful when posting - and read through how it may appear to other posters when they read it - before hitting that ‘Submit your reply’ button.
Thank you.

I understood the message, I just don’t see why you found it necessary to post a picture of two cats fucking.

I didn’t really know what his purpose for it was, but it was obviously weird. Knowing Duracell, there was no reason to think it was racist.
The Person in Question
i treated it like any other image that duracell posts, i skipped over it.
no hard feelings DE!
I never thought he was being racist, just gross for the sake of it.
I mean hey if you want to post pictures of cats fucking each other you could at least put it in double quotes so people have the option of not seeing it.

There’s such a thing as “accidentally racist.”
I’m not saying that’s what happened (again, I had no idea what he was trying to say), but just because I don’t have racist intent doesn’t mean I can’t say something racist.
Well that’s true, but in this case I think it would fall under misinterpretation by the reader rather than accidentally racist. The main reason it needed to be deleted by a mod was because it was a picture of sexually active cats. No one wants to see that.

Did you see the sentence under that photo? That’s what was the problem here.
Where were you in '77?

The text in the post was very clear - though it was not what Duracell was meant to actually post (confirmed in his latter post for clarity).
The picture of two cats at it is somewhat incidental and secondary to the text - though I agree in that no-one needs to see that.
Hence the deletion of the picture and editing of the text in his mis-post.

I suggest we move on from Duracell’s mis-post - and get the thread back on topic.
Thank you.

What’s the topic of this thread? :p
Technically, discussing Duracell’s random thought isn’t off topic. I’ve got nothing else to say about it though so I’ll leave it be.

You must have missed this part - ‘I suggest we move on from Duracell’s mis-post’.

Agreed.
I was thinking recently about how confusing it would be to try and learn how to drive on the left side of the road if I ever moved to Britain. I’ll never move there so it doesn’t really matter, but I doubt I’d ever get the hang of it if I did.

If you see someone struggling in a rental car - slowly turning or stopping to make a turn when probably not necessary to do so near a holiday resort - it’ll likely be a Brit!
My family had no end of slowing down and ‘making sure’ they were ‘driving correctly’ when on holiday in the US. And most in of Europe too 😃

The way some people drive in the U.S., adapting to the U.K. won’t be a problem. 😉

my wife and I honey-mooned in the US virgin islands. (i get it)
There, you can drive on the left side of the road, but in cars made for driving on the right hand side of the road. all becuase of the fact that they buy cars from the US, but are used to driving on the other side. They tried to switch, but had so many accidents, they switched back. (at least that is how i remember the history of it)
needless to say, it was both exhilarating and bloody dangerous driving.

This is confusing.
You have a wife and a honey, and they both mooned (something?) there?
CONSIDER THIS A GRAMMAR ATTACK.

Brain, you have let me down for the last time.
i clearly was trying to say that my wife and my honey mooned a virgin in the US.
Was the island surrounded by water? Big water? OCEAN WATER?
