Will, I think there's a middle way among the alternatives that you propose.

If the posters here would, say, adopt one agreed form of words such as:

'these views do not represent any kind of consensus on mudcat and most find them unacceptable. We let them stand only because we value freedom of expression.'


--then one person posts it each time, the first one who opens the renewed thread, each time the thread comes to the top. No fruitless debate, the unacceptability of the views is clear to any visitor and the thread sinks until WAVs next post receives the exact same answer.
