Ref your Pps,,I think it was to do with the description of person/people on board ! It was a bit confusing. It sounds like the same person/people that dented NCs car that day at the petrol station.

I didn't find it offensive,,but what do I know.

Well done mods for making it more readable though, Now if you can just go back over all of my previous posts to try and make sense of them all I'd appreciate it, good luck with that.!

I read the original unmodded post and it made no sense at all. The last sentence said "Please be on your guard as he does care about boaters homes", IIRC. It may have been 'dose' given FTS's light touch edit.

I edited out a reference to the driver's ethnicity as it was irrelevant.

NC is hopefully tucked up safe and sound on her berth behaving herself!

Ah now...see it just might be relevant.....as in helping with tracking the offender down.

 

Was he or she a Caucasian ?

I still don't see why it's relevant. It's not as though there are dozens of white blokes racing about in white speedboats as well, is it?

 

Or girls for that matter.

 

But the mods are stuck either way. If FTS had left the comment in, peeps would have been slating the post for racism.

Did anyone else see the mystery white boat?

Are we to infer you think the ethnicity of the steerer was mentioned deliberately as trolling exercise, and the boat never existed?

It does seem rather odd that apparently a number of bikes were lost overboard but there have been no other reports of the incident.

[Starcoaster]

There are multiple posts about it from different reliable people on FaceBook.

Then I sit corrected.

I don't do Faceache.

Of course it was relevant! There is no point looking out for a black boater if the culprit was white!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wanted]

MTB is right, let's be on the lookout for a speedboat on a canal, that's probably our biggest clue..

 

I have also heard about this from reliable folk. Hope they catch the idiots.

[Guest]

If the guys ethnicity was mentioned in a descriptive way then no problem in my book, after all if you couldn't do that in describing crimes on programs like Crimewatch you wouldn't have much success in catching perpetrators of crime.

 

A different issue of course if mentioned in an offensive way

 

- some times we can get a bit over sensitive on here.

 

But yes the biggest identifier must be the boat, there cannot be many being lowered into the Regents for a bit of lunacy.

Wrong! it could have been Jacko.
