I wonder if it's in part, an attempt by some BNP supporter/s to pressure Mudcat to ban the whole BNP topic (I recall a couple of weeks ago, Joe mentioned possibly banning future discussions on BNP, *I think* because of the "bad profile" some of these discussions - when they become less civil - might appear to give Mudcat)? Especially as considering that the owners & mods are all American, and thus will have less probable personal interest in such a specifically Britain-centric topic. Kat in particular being targeted, makes me wonder about the motive of some of the identity theft, which I *suspect* is in part intended to generate division and antipathy here.
