Also, if you read up, their piss-taking antisocial behaviour had already been demonstrated and described. This individual has dumped "rubbish, scrap material and rotting vehicle" on the land and was described as being "from a well known traveller community" (my emphasis), and it was further stated that "in my experience, many within that community have a 'greater than typical' understanding of issues relating to land possession etc" which was clearly a veiled reference to trespassing and other antisocial land occupation.
But you didn't fucking call that out did you?

"from a well known traveller community"
So he knows the traveller community? It's a community that is well known locally?
in my experience, many within that community have a 'greater than typical' understanding of issues relating to land possession etc
The people that travel around and stay on various bits of land are probably quite aware of the issues relating to the land they stay on.
Those comments could probably be read negatively, but don't have to be. What you posted was hard to not read in a shitty way. It's gone now anyway so nevermind. I'll go back to wringing my hands until I get the chance to jerk my knees and pile on someone else's shitty comment with three words.

The law on trespass has changed to.
Having had a bit of experience of dealing with the traveller (the kind that trespass on to land, and the kind that never leave temporary traveller areas) is is unkind to share my experiences?
While I have lived the bus life with crusties…? Is that the right term? That was a very different experience.
Interesting there was no comment on the arson idea..

That wasn’t veiled @bq, it was explicit (or it was meant to be). That said, it wasn’t related to his being a traveller; the specific reference to which I have explained and attempted to rationalise. No issue if eventually people are encouraged or cajoled to the point of calling me out (sounds snide so accept someone may me immediately offended of their own volition) and if/when they do, regardless of the fact I vehemently deny any intention to be racist and that what I wrote absolutely wasn’t racist, I’ll read it again and consider others’ feelings and consider the language I use, the way it might be received and the semantics and try and do better in the future. That’s it

You didn't need to, the person in question was described as part of the traveller community, you made a negative generalisation about the person's community, whether they're Romany, Irish traveller or neither, it was unnecessary and shitty.
