Joe I don't know if this matters or not but here goes...a couple of weeks ago there was some particularly nasty BNP posting on here, it was the night that little hawk made a thread about the best way to deal with your enemies was to laugh at them.
Well that made perfect sense and a few sarky posts were made to the resident BNP'ers on the same thread. Quite a lot of posts actually. Most from made up personas like Major Ballsup etc etc etc and Dame Judith Kneesup. I was Judith, but have no idea who the others were. But they were really clearly deriding the BNP'ers. And it worked just like little hawk said because they stopped posting on that thread and haven't surfaced again yet.
The next day they were all deleted, and you left a message about how you had to delete alot of racist posts. You deleted all the posts ridiculing the BNP'ers. But the original offending ones that were blatantly racist remained in tact. I don't know if bruce was one of the people who adopted a persona for that thread to ridicule them? But he is always very strong in his opposition to them.
Everyone has a different sense of humour and is it possible that you didn't really appreciate/understand what was going on in that thread? I can't imagine bruce supporting racism in any form and would hate to think he is being accused of something this sick, due to a misunderstanding.
