Tomblands Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm aware of that Paulb. I pointed out that there are alot of statements made in this thread that could be considered bullying and harrasment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 And Brian is correct, the bullying and harrasment David Clark mentioned is rife in this thread. Looking through the thread, although not reading everything, I can't see any post which actually states, as Mr Clark claims, discrimination against him for being a non-Shetlander. There are many posts which deride him for being many other things, but I can't for the life of me see any post which directly attacks him for being of non-Shetland origin.I stand to be corrected, as usual. So please point them out, or go back to the communist bar for a quick dram or three with BS & DC There is plenty of bullying and harrasment in this thread, I didn't mention anything to do with racism.Have you read the ST article? I think not. QUOTE ST:It is understood Mr Clark had originally been seeking a £1.7 million payout on the grounds that he had been bullied, harassed and subjected to racism because he is not a Shetlander.END QUOTE So, can you show me any examples of racism towards DC in this thread?

Tomblands Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 No. I can't. It's up to the people who have posted the comments, and David Clark I guess, to decide what is racist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 on members of shetlink sometimes. on mr clark not so much. some of the comments have been personal but the mods have been good. he does not appear to be a chap who really cares what we think. he is happy that everyone is offering him £12.50 to go away.

Ghostrider Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 And Brian is correct, the bullying and harrasment David Clark mentioned is rife in this thread. And this is Shetlink, a Shetland orientated web forum, which (as best as I am aware) has no connection whatsoever with the SIC, who are Mr Clark's employer. Your point?

Whether they're "okay" or not is irrelevant. They have been made at a time and place and by people over which Clark's employers have no influence or jurisdiction, therefor they cannot form any part of a legal claim by Clark against his employers. If Shetlink is the only place such statements have been made Clark has no case against the council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Paulb!! does not sound a lot but stick the lawyers fees on and it will go up a lot. so when he walks with a 1/4 million and his lady friend sells her share in the factories they will be set for life.

Guest Anonymous Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 so that makes these comments ok? constant jibes over his size? suggesting he should be shot? Just to make my point clear on this:I was the one who asked Shetlinkers to respect Mr Clark's privacy over the festive season, in respect of the fact that whether or not he had done anything wrong, he is a person whose privacy should be respected. So I for one am not being racist or bullying towards Mr Clark.But he is pulling the piss by screwing Shetland out of so much money, and you, by supporting him are complicit in screwing Shetland.And as for "Shot". I've had far worse things said to me through emails, etc., when I've been controversial here. So what goes for me, goes for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
