Now that would be a shame as I believe my views and that of others are , in the main, both enjoyable and informative. Personally speaking i think the administrators should ask anyone making a racist remark to withdraw it in the interests of all on this forum.

Racism is when someone is discriminated against (singled out) because of their race, the colour of their skin, their nationality, their accent or first language, or their ethnic or national origin. Racism is a hate crime, and is illegal. Whether that is spoken, written or otherwise communicated, its still illegal in this country and should not be tolerated by anyone.
Exactly. But what if the administrators and the site owner agree with the essence of the racist messages? Then they may well allow it to remain uncensored.

Ultimately the site owner has responsibility for the content.

Anyone looking in will easily be able to see the number of posts made over the years by a certain individual with racist connotations. Not a one off, by any means. I think this is more serious than some people know.
