Nah, I'm flabbergasted with these views tbh.I think your being purposefully argumentative now.

Sorry are you a mod here or?? You don’t get to decide what kind of topics are allowed on here.Go when you want, don't need a topic about it.
Can we make a 'racists' day so I can avoid anyone falling into that category too? =D.
Some of you alright, =).Why be a member then?

If you don’t like the thread just avoid it. You clearly lack the reading comprehension to grasp the issues being discussed here and are adding nothing helpful to the discussion.

The mods are ok with this thread existing. Guess they’re all racist too right? You’re starting to look a bit silly now.Some of you alright, =).

You have had one single post removed for containing an image and nothing else. Others have been merged as you've posted multiple posts in succession, but your views have so far not been censored and I've allowed you to say your piece.Based on the fact I am being moderated I would say yes, they are happy with a topic of this nature. xD.
I don't feel silly, I am sure someone out there agrees with what I am saying but they wou;dn't dare go against the grain. I'll sleep soundly tonight either way =). Peace.
You are apologising again when you have done absolutely nothing wrong again Matt!Oh dear, this is getting heated…
Let me start by saying that I sincerely apologise if I personally have said anything that could be construed as offensive toward the travelling community. That was not my intent; I was simply trying to contribute constructively to the discussion.
If I’m being completely honest, I can see both sides of the argument here.
I know that every single member on here talking about it means well and are merely discussing the impact on the park, but I can see how some of the discussion surrounding travellers on here and elsewhere in the enthusiast community could be perceived as somewhat offensive to the travelling community. Perhaps unfairly, I do think travellers have developed a stigma in the enthusiast community, and the way they’re sometimes referenced so directly and singled out regarding how a minority of them supposedly behave could be construed as racist/offensive by some. I believe that travellers, like every other minority group, deserve the exact same respect and dignity that everyone else in society gets, and some of the language used towards them in regard to the issue of “family friendly days” (in the enthusiast community in general) could undermine that and be construed as discriminatory.
However, the “family friendly days” as the park coins them do definitely offer a different experience for the paying guest, from what I’ve heard, and I think it is fully understandable for people to want to know when these days occur and plan their visits around these days accordingly. If someone values the odd beer as part of their visit, or wants to avoid visiting on a day where there is seemingly an increased risk of antisocial behaviour (I don’t attribute that to any particular group, by the way), then I think it is perfectly fine for someone to say that they don’t want to visit on that particular day. The park has a whole operational calendar for people to pick from; some may find it useful to know when the “family friendly days” are so that they can go on a different day.
Personally, I think that as long as we keep discussion sensitive and constructive, and don’t go down the rabbit hole of discriminating against any particular groups or honing in on them too heavily (perhaps we could refer to it as “family friendly day” like the park does?), then I don’t see any issue with having a constructive discussion on the topic.
I apologise if I’ve said anything offensive there, as I know it’s a contentious topic, but I was simply trying to approach the argument in a balanced way. I also apologise if I’m backseat moderating a bit too much here… if the actual moderators want me to delete this, then just say.
Y'all need read a book.
