And this is it.
I didn't intend to start a thread that see ideological and dogmatic discussions about democracy and then be called a 'raving lefty'?! (If the BNP is so democratic why are their forums closed to everyone, and yet this 'anti-democratic' forum is open to all?)
Nor did I even call for banning supporters of the BNP!
All I drew attention to was the fact that several BNP related threads had mushroomed, and I was wondering if we could have a thread to discuss how best to deal with this?
I am just saying that as a member that was around at the start of the first 'troubles', (and no offence but some members have not been around longer than a few months) I was just airing caution that we could see a similar problem.
Basically BNP members appeared everywhere, unfortunately using foul language, starting scores of BNP threads, threatening others and when a BNP Only Thread was set-up it had about 500 posts in a few weeks and then had an over-spill into other threads.
Now, as then, I never called for a banning of BNP supporters if they simply BNP supporters, just for a set policy on where the issue stands - it will be a good thing for both them as well as other members.
