I think you have to ask yourself a couple of questions here. The first is whether you lead your life assuming positive intent from the people you interact with. @robp135 brought a topic that was in the public eye to a football forum that is very comfortable discussing any political subject home or abroad and stays up with current affairs. Fans have a choice to stick to the football threads or get involved. I generally stick to the football thread.

I'd also encourage people to go back and look at the first post on this thread. It was just a post of a story and a question from Rob what others thought to this. We now have the ridiculous situation where we're even implying that one of our most regular and best posters is a racist. I think people should be very careful on that implication to Rob as it is unfair.

As a former mod of a football forum, all I can ask everyone to do is to assume best intent on what people are posting and make sure you play the ball and not the man. We have some very senior posters playing the man here.

My first impressions of this topic was that @robp135 was just helping a football forum to create daily traffic in the football close season i.e. the 1st week of August. I assumed best intent, but chose not to post until the tragic event happened.

In my humble opinion this thread should be closed out of respect for the man & his family

So let's do this. Makes so much sense.

I think most played the topic not the man and engaged the original post. The post death double down seemed over zealous, I don't think highlighting that is outrageous.

I agree to shut the thread.

Peace
