Then you assume wrong. He was censored because this is family friendly. As an aside, I have just looked at his YT videos. There is one commentary where a member of WoS is named, and there then appears to be references to paedophiles, amongst other disgusting comments. I assume from your comments that you'd be happy if that was you?
I suggest trashing the whole offtopic section for consistency lmao. Half of your guys whole discourse reads like this anyway
my apologies to anyone who was offended when i posted the link to my site i thought it was family friendly but i forgot about the name of the game i am releasing on the software page sorry about that !
This ^ is how the thread started. Ole George shouldn't have been banned.
I'm not sure I disagree about banning him. George really crossed the line when he started attacking people with all those nazi references.
However, it's also true that George started this thread to apologize, and his posts were all reasonable until he lost his temper from being directly offended like this:

I'm just an anonymous cow/troll :)) Well Lee you won't expect George starts to censor his wacky audience given the tone of comedy in his show.
Hmm Mr. Bun, if you read this and since your store is underground now, what about publishing speccy games based on comics like Kaz's Underground or Comboy Henk ? Just a thought ;)
The comments are by George in the video - he is directly attacking someone in a very disturbing way. It's nothing to do with the idiots egging him on.
Anyone posting this kind of offense should have been banned too. Do I have to say "double standards" again?
Einar, perhaps you've missed it, but that's part of the UK culture. In fact, their Prime Minister recently already said that tax evasion is "morally wrong", unless he does it. :p
Also, when they mean "family friendly", it's not based on a standard "family", but it actually mean the worse kind of British families where the children are so badly raised that they get offended by any small sharp items, like words. You wonder why it's never about the liberal or rough families, or families in other cultures, where most kids can handle most words that are being thrown at them without problems... :)
Eh? My post was meant to be funny, not offensive. ("meant to be", doesn't mean it was)
I know. Problem is, making fun of it in between criticizing someone and banning him does't sound funny at all. On the contrary, it makes it even worse.
Check it yourself. Here's your sequence of posts about it, from the last few hours, in the order they were posted on both threads:
This is a family friendly forum, and I expect links to external sites to reflect that. Some of the language and subject matter on that site is disgusting.
So you think its fine for the review to 180 to start going on about barmaids t*** and the bloke standing there with his c*** in his hands?
And that's just one of them - some of the others are more disturbing. These videos *won't* be embeded in WoS, so if the restriction is lifted on youtube, they will be deleted.
For the record, disguising words by replacing letters with symbols doesn't make their meaning any less offensive. Would it be OK if I said that anyone claiming otherwise is a ****ing 1d1@t?

You misunderstood me. I'm not defending inappropriate content should be posted in this forum. I'm just defending common sense.
Posting links to George's videos (without improper thumbnails), preferably with an warning about the language, would have solved the problem. Both extremes are wrong.
You are absolutely right. I mixed up both Lees in my last replies. To fogartylee: please accept my sincere apologies!
Despite myself screwing up about this my screw up doesn't invalidate most of my posts about it. Inappropriate behavior from some people are handled harshly, while tolerated from others.
Whether people like or not George's videos shouldn't have been relevant to this discussion. Just whether his videos were Speccy related or not (they are), and how would be the acceptable way to post about them.
Hoho poor Lees guys. I for one and all vote to readmit George, he's a true speccy author and deserves to defend himself in this backyard, let's do it your honors!
On a side nite, would there be authors to make brand new underground games? I have to ask Geoge to exlore this old green route, the crap compo is not enough imho, something in the tone of the uruguayan cartoonist Tabaré would be moderately cool if you know what I mean

*SNIP*
Take another look at the posts you've just quoted. Which is the odd one out?
The one where criticism was mixed with irony. Did you really expect George to laugh at this point?
I am not fogartylee.

No - you are his other login.
Was going to post the "Lee" song by Tenacious D but that's got a load of swearing in, so I'd better not.
I have seen George Bum's videos banned from these forums.
Not happy with the childish and pathetic way these forums have been manipulated by those with access to the database.

Back to the music thread I go.
Me too.
